Evie and Julian to delve deep into the complexities of ADHD. They discuss common myths, personal experiences, and practical advice for managing ADHD symptoms. Evie shares her journey of creating a YouTube channel focused on ADHD and productivity, and they explore the nuances of attentional dysregulation, the impact of societal expectations, and coping strategies. Join them for an insightful conversation aimed at fostering understanding and compassion for those with ADHD.

Evie somehow managed to live in 5 countries and yet spent 10 years in Academia. She has a psychology degree, a bit over 3 years of coaching experience, and was diagnosed with ADHD. Evie creates content that combines theory, practice, and personal experience into something useful but, maybe even more importantly, relatable. People don't always need to hear yet another tip or solution. Instead, they need to feel seen and understood. I care to give that whenever I can.
