Greetings! Yes, on its surface this is a conversation (with 6-time returning champion Janine Halloran! So excited to bring her back to you!) about ADHD.
But it's about so much more.
It's about expectations, and how they create the roles our children inhabit.
It's about us, the roles we inhabit, and how we got here.
It's about what we can do that would be detrimental, or helpful – again, not just with the concerns of ADHD. But with so much more.
I'm excited to welcome you into this conversation, and I'm grateful that you are here!
