ADHD in Women with Paula Engebretson

What if you found out that alllll of the stories that you tell yourself about what you're not good at, and all of the negative internal dialog that you have about why you're not good enough was explained away by a diagnosis? That it wasn't your fault? I am so thrilled to have Paula Engebretson on the podcast today to talk about ADHD & how it presents in women, why women in midlife are getting diagnosed at alarming rates, and what some of the common signs and symptoms are. Having her on the show was so enlightening & explained so much of the way that my own brain works. That I can't wait to share her expertise with you. Tune in to learn more about ADHD, how it affects women differently than men, how it differs than what you might think, and then what to do if you want to explore next steps.
