Episode 20 – Supporting ADHD Youth

Episode Overview

In this episode, I’m joined by Laurie Dupar, a seasoned ADHD life coach, nurse practitioner, and advocate for reshaping the ADHD conversation.

Laurie shares her unique perspective, from being diagnosed with ADHD at 50 to her journey of supporting others with neurodiverse brain styles.
