Me and ADHD Podcast

In this episode and the finale of season 4, I have the privilege of having a conversation with ADHD Coach and Neurodiversity Trainer Caitlin Whitmore, about what it has been like being diagnosed later in life with ADHD.Our conversation covers what life was like prior to the diagnosis and if she had prior knowledge about ADHD whilst navigating the struggles that were presented.We talk about the various aspects of life including constant burnout, overwhelm, the feeling of being lost and the assessment and waiting lists.The conversation touches so many areas of Caitlin's life and explains why she went for the assessment, how she felt after the diagnosis and ultimately her choices in life leading to where she is now.A fascinating story and although a common rollercoaster of emotions and mental health, ends with so much positivity about the way forward and how Caitlin now approaches life and her need to help others with ND minds.If you wish to follow Caitlin or are interested in her coaching services, please use the links below.https://www.adhdcoachcaitlin.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/adhdcoach_caitlinhttp://bit.ly/41NWr5o
