Journey With Me Through ADHD: A podcast for kids

WARNING...This episode is a raw conversation with my two girls who are diagnosed with ADHD combined type. The sound may go up and down with conversation that doesn't fully depict the life we live with ADHD! This episode is a great opportunity to tune in with your kiddos and have them hear other kids openly and shamelessly talking about having ADHD. Sharing struggles but leading with strengths is our model. My girls share at different levels, and it shows the growth that takes place from newly diagnosed to a deeper level of self-awareness and understanding. This will be a lifelong journey of conversations, trial and erroring strategies, with learning/growth and celebration of strengths along the way!  If your child is interested in sharing his or her voice on this podcast, please email me directly at katelynmabry4@gmail.com  You can also find my book, "Hi It's Me! I have ADHD" on my website www.katelynmabry.com or schedule a free coaching consult call for even more support!  I hope you all have a blessed week! Sending my love and gratitude that each of you have chosen to invite me on your ADHD journey with you! 

There are three types of ADHD. The first is the primarily inattentive type, which we will talk about in today's episode. The second is primarily hyperactive, which we will discuss in future episodes. The third is combined type, which is a combination of inattentive and hyperactive. I have ADHD combined type, how about you?   In this episode, you will hear from ADHD coach Damon Manley who has ADHD inattentive type. He shares his journey with you and you will learn more about what it means to experience this inattentive ADHD! It may surprise you and not be what you think!
