Understanding Women with ADHD with Corinne the Coach
Notes de l’épisode
Forget the stereotypical image of ADHD. For many women, it looks a lot different.
This week, Christiana sits down with Corinne the Coach to explore why women and girls are so often overlooked, why women of color face even greater barriers to diagnosis, and how ADHD can impact everything from mental health and shame to motherhood, money, and work. Corinne also opens up about her own diagnosis, navigating medication, and building a business while neurodivergent.
