Over the past few months I’ve played from the start of the podcast to the end of 2021.

This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. I’ve only recently learned that I’ve had undiagnosed ADHD my entire life so I’m really just getting into the nitty gritty.

I started listening to this podcast soon after my son was diagnosed with ADHD. I was lost and floundering. I had no idea what to do or how to help or even if I could.

This podcast is great - very positive and affirming. Full of helpful tips. My only suggestion is that Brendan could be more gender conscious as he talks. I recognize he is a man, he has sons but there have been times where he has a very male-centric POV that is not helpful to managing my ADHD...Read full review »
