In this week's episode, I chat with Chris Nowicki about his journey living with ADHD. Chris shares so openly about the challenges he's faced over the years and the different treatment methods he's tried, from medication to therapy techniques like EMDR and neurofeedback. Chris has been in the aerospace defense industry for over 16 years, overcoming his own ADHD challenges along the way. He is currently pursuing a new career as a software engineer.
