Struggling with adult ADHD? Feeling overlooked by doctors and mental health professionals?

There's a place for you here.

In this episode, I got to delve into an enlightening conversation with Shane Thrapp, a certified ADHD life coach and advocate.

His personal journey with ADHD has empowered him to help others like him find their unique purpose and steer through the ordinary bustle of daily life.

Shane shares his frustration with the lack of information and support for adults with ADHD and how he became an advocate for the condition. We discuss the importance of self-advocacy in seeking a diagnosis and treatment and how individuals with ADHD can navigate professional environments by identifying their strengths and needs and communicating them to HR.

A focal point of our discourse was the imperative of spreading education among parents, teachers, and students about neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and autism.

This consciousness can be a cornerstone in crafting a society that welcomes differences and fosters understanding and acceptance.

So, are you ready to take the reins of your ADHD and become your own advocate?

Tune into this conversation with Shane Thrapp, and gain a fresh perspective on adult ADHD, self-advocacy, and education.
Stay empowered,

Jen
