We're back again, with episode 2 of DIAGNOSIS MONTH!

In our weekly HIGHS & LOWS OF THE WEEK section, witness a chaotic complication of balancing independence and responsibility when it comes to money management for children, and ponder the life cycle of a frog!

Our special guest, ADHD coach Michelle, opens up about her own journey with ADHD - from the emotional rollercoaster of seeking a diagnosis to finally finding answers and the relief it brings. We examine the societal expectations that come along with the condition and the struggles of everyday tasks that others often take for granted. Michelle also talks on the impact of ADHD on mental health and how she navigated her way to a fulfilling career despite the challenges.

She shares the calming effects of meditation and Eastern philosophies, offering practical tips on incorporating these practices into a busy lifestyle, especially for parents living with ADHD. 

In the face of negative media coverage and misinformation about ADHD, we discuss the importance of supporting each other and debunk some common myths. We touch on the sensitive topic of self-diagnosis and stress the importance of seeking professional help and finding a supportive community network. 

Whether you're living with ADHD, and / or children, or simply want to understand more about the condition, this episode has something for everyone. 

Thanks for joining us.

Your sisters in chaos! Gen & Claire xxx
