In today's episode, I dive into how ADHD can contribute to harmful behaviours in adulthood and share practical strategies for managing these challenges. Whether it's impulsive reactions or struggles with emotional regulation, I'll guide you through ways to create healthier responses and find more peace in your daily life.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tara to discuss our shared experiences of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD and the emotional impact it had on our self-worth. As mothers now with a diagnosis, we reflect on how gaining that clarity has reshaped our perspectives and allowed us to embrace self growth. Together, we explore how understanding ADHD has helped us become more compassionate, both as individuals and as parents, and how this journey continues to shape us into better versions of ourselves.

In this vulnerable episide, I share my personal journey of returning to ADHD medication after discontinuing it earlier this summer. Life threw my routine into chaos, and with it, all the challenges of managing ADHD came flooding back. I dive into the overwhelming reality of trying to cope without meds, the emotions struggles that followed, and the moment I realized I needed extra support to regain control. Join me as I open up about the hard decisions we sometimes have to make for our mental health and why going back on medication was the right choice for me.
