Episode 161 with Alice Gendron.

“There are so many doubts. I can wake up convinced I have ADHD. But by the time I go to bed, I’m like, No, I’m just lazy.”

Alice is an artist and freelance writer from Bordeaux, France. Her diagnosis of ADHD at the age of 29 changed her life, and inspired her to help others. If you don’t recognize the name, you will most definitely recognize the sweet little pink haired icon behind her popular social media account The Mini ADHD Coach.

Alice and I talk about her diagnosis and what led her to create her lovely little ADHD character, and how that first little doodle has led to an immense platform, her workbook, planner, and now her book, “The Mini ADHD Coach: How to Finally Understand Yourself.”

We also talk about some of the stigma surrounding an ADHD in France, and Alice shares how important it is for her to create content in other languages besides English as we all expand our understanding of what it’s like to live with ADHD in all countries and cultures around the world.
