On this episode, I am being interviewed by my podcast producer, Marc Ronick, about my new book “Activate Your ADHD Potential: A 12-Step Journey From Chaos to Clarity for Adults with ADHD”.
Through the interview I share my own ADHD diagnosis journey and how it led me to write this book to help others struggling with ADHD overwhelm and underwhelm. I provide insights into my writing process and how I use the tools from my book to push through obstacles.
Marc and I discuss the book’s main themes of managing ADHD overwhelm and underwhelm through awareness, values alignment, and building momentum through small actions. We outline the 12-step program from the book and how it guides readers to gain control, clarity and confidence. The book is also a benefit to loved ones to help understand ADHD.
