Writer and TedX Speaker Stacey Heale shares 'honest conversations on how to rebuild your life after hard times’… and we are so grateful to this legendary lady for her honesty and insights in this wonderful conversation. 

At 43, Stacey is freshly diagnosed with ADHD. The Mother of two, and jack of all trades is just as chaotic as we are! Part of our ADHDAF mission is to eradicate the shame around the symptoms and struggles we battle daily and to celebrate the messy ‘too-muchness’ and rebellion so many of us relate to. Which is why we ADORE this blether and this woman so much! We are no strangers to the shame of our ineptitude at 'adulting' adequately, and alongside experiencing this; Stacey gives us her perspective of Motherhood with the neurodevelopmental condition. How it feels when the chaos is no longer just your own, as it also affects your children.  ADHD Medication and self compassion post diagnosis has improved Stacey's life enormously.
