EP. 225: Challenging the Status Quo with Welsh Politician, Sara Robinson

Growing up in a politically active environment, local Welsh politician Sara Robinson was always drawn to social justice, and when she realized she had ADHD at 41, her life path started to make perfect sense.  Sara’s strong reaction to injustice–one of her ADHD strengths–drove her to get involved with local politics in order to make positive changes at the community level, and most recently, led her to advocate for changes in U.K. legislation around ADHD in criminal, education, and healthcare settings.  Like many of us, Sara struggles with rejection sensitive dysphoria, but her passion for social justice has always overridden any fears she has of being seen. She says, "Now that I've opened my eyes to it, post-diagnosis, I can't unsee the injustice."  Join us as Sara shares her ADHD journey, what’s changed since getting diagnosed, how building community has transformed how she sees her ADHD, the importance of women getting involved in politics at the local level, and so much more.  Resources: Website: ; Insta: @sararobinson_81 Whatsapp group: Photo credit: Mike Hall  Today, I’m promoting my son Marcus, an NYU graduate, skilled in digital advertising and tech marketing.
