In this episode of the Generation Exceptional podcast, I'm talking with ADHD coach and content creator Caren McGill.
How do you stay focused and productive if you have ADHD? Especially if you're late diagnosed and you've never been taught how to get stuff done.
Caren is sharing her transformative journey from a late ADHD diagnosis to becoming an inspiring coach. We discuss the emotional impact of a late diagnosis, the challenges of managing ADHD during perimenopause, and Caren's highly effective productivity strategies.
We talk about navigating the strengths and challenges that come with a late diagnosis of ADHD and also talk about the benefits of establishing productive habits and routines, and how tools can help to manage cognitive load. This was an enlightening conversation packed with personal anecdotes and practical advice for anyone dealing with ADHD.
