Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

Words have power. Nowhere is that more clear than in the language we use to describe ourselves. From empowerment to confidence to productivity and our very own care and appearance, the words we use to define ourselves have a direct and inextricable connection to the way we move through the world. This week on the show, Nikki Kinzer and Pete Wright talk about the power of three very important words, and how we can use those words to build confidence and motivation toward meeting our goals.
