In today's episode, we're joined by Julie Kliers. Going undiagnosed until age 46 and not wanting to see her sons repeat her own struggles, Julie embarked on a crusade to learn all she could about ADHD, and became the person she needed. Now, she helps adults and students with ADHD embrace their unique and unlock their full potential!
Julie talks to us about the power of diagnosis, overwhelm, and boundaries. We discuss the ADHD trap of thinking we should be doing things in a neurotypical way and then beating ourselves up when we can’t, how executive function challenges lead to overwhelm, the struggle of black-and-white thinking, and ways to get into action.
