Episode 157 with Sari Solden. [Replay].Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. For various reasons, I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so maybe you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again. This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Sari Solden, which originally aired as Episode 63 in December of 2021. Getting the chance to interview Sari was a dream come true for me, and I’m not at all surprised that it’s been one of my most listened to episodes to date. Her books have been so influential in my own life and the lives of so many women I’ve gotten the chance to meet and work with along the way. Bonus Update:Make sure to stick around because, at the end of the episode, I get a chance to check back in with Sari to talk about the new re-release of her book, Journeys Through ADDulthood, and I get a chance to pick her brain some more and tell her in my awkward stumbling way how much her groundbreaking work has meant to me over the years!Website: www.sarisolden.comInstagram: @radicallyadhd- - - - - Episode Sponsors:This episode is sponsored by Babbel, language learning that works!
