ADHD is not a male disorder, but men and boys are diagnosed far more commonly than women and girls. Let's talk about it.    Articles about ADHD in women: Why ADHD in Women is Routinely Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Treated Inadequately ADHD in Women    Guest Feature: Taylor turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. She’s the founder of media company Inner Workout, and the author of a book by the same name. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' In fact, the first line of her book, Inner Workout, reads, "This is not an aspirational wellness book." Instead, Inner Workout offers a practical and accessible approach to self-care that meets you where you're at. Her Take Care assessment, which measures well-being across five dimensions, has been taken by thousands of people across the globe. Taylor’s mission is not to change who you are; but rather to strengthen your connection to the wisdom you already have within.

February is here and it's Black History Month! This year, we're doing things a little differently on the Be Well, Sis podcast. We want to honor our ancestors in a unique way - by taking care of ourselves. We'll be exploring how we can use these qualities to create a life that's more fulfilling and meaningful, not just for ourselves, but for those around us as well. Be sure to tune in every Tuesday for new and insightful episodes featuring brilliant women invested in our collective healing and growth.  Guest Feature: Kelley Bonner, Expert Company Culture Strategist, Award Winning Podcaster, and Founder of Burn Bright Consulting, transforms workplaces by reducing burnout and bias, resulting in increased innovation and inclusion. She provides a framework for leaders to understand the deeper organizational issues that lead to symptoms of burnout and how to solve them at their core. Having served on the Gender Policy Committee for the White House as well as the International Women’s Economic Security Council, Kelley impacts culture and policy across the globe. She was also hand-picked by the Biden Administration to assist in the development of a national framework for workplace safety and harassment. Kelley has worked with several federal and international organizations to create safer environments and strategies for violence prevention, including the U.S. Military, the Library of Congress, National Academy of Sciences, The United Nations, and NATO.   In our conversation, we delve into self-compassion, her philosophy of ‘to heal and to help”, giving yourself space to explore your identity and passion, and what it means to embrace a life of ease.  How to Connect with Kelley: Website, Instagram,  Listen to and Follow Black Girl Burnout!
