Maddy is an inspiration to the Neurodivergent community. Having tried and tested a few business ideas (haven’t we all!) Maddy has now found her love and passion that works alongside and with her ADHD. Maddy shares her (twice!) diagnosed ADHD story about how she came to be in 40K worth of debt, running from the bailiffs, and shares some of her saddest and happiest times.
