As the title says, it's my personal reflection on 2020.  I'll let the show speak for itself in all its unedited glory!

Today, we’re talking to Moira Maybin.  Moira is a mom, and an educator in British Columbia, Canada and she’ll be adding her show to the ADHD rewired Podcast Network in the coming months.
