Kristen Carder sits down with Brooke in this episode of SuccessFull with ADHD to discuss her journey with ADHD and how she became not only an advocate for her community, but also a leading voice in connecting the disorder with trauma. Kristen opens up about her own experiences as a coach and what she discovered in her time reading the experts and listening to them on her own highly successful podcast.
