ADHDAF Episode 13: Louise ‘Pink Pear Bear’ Williams
We are so excited about this Episode. It’s a bit longer than usual; as Louise shared so many pearls, we didn’t want to cut any out! (Hence why there’s minimal into/outro from us)
As many of you will be aware, Louise Williams is an absolute LEGEND!
She has an incredible blog - Pink Pear Bear - and ADHD support groups of the same name.
Louise has been making much needed noise about mental health for seven years online.
She has helped so many ADHDers and continues to do so with her ENORMOUS online community, and now she has started a gym with a difference - Solace, providing solace for the soul. Unlike standard gyms that many find intimidating; the ethos is that all are welcome of all abilities, to join a safe community that they can feel comfortable in.
Louise shares her journey battling depression and anxiety, with medication for what turned out to be comorbidities (sounds familiar!) Her mental health deteriorated further after having her children until eventually getting diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 37.
We are sure you will love this inspirational interview with a truly lovely lady!
