I did pretty well in school with the exception of like, some addiction issues. Like, you know, because I had a really successful career. Like, am I making this up? Is this just because I had kids and now I feel scatterbrain. And then what really was wild to me was when because I was still like almost gaslighting myself. And I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And she asked me all these questions about my life. She was like, Oh, I clocked you from the moment you started talking about it.

And someone that intermittently fools around on social media. I'm a board certified psychiatrist and ADHD clinical specialist.

It is fascinating to hear the stories of how this diagnosis is missed in their childhood years. We unapologetically help more mums (and dads with significant caring responsibilities) to get to senior leadership positions, because only by helping parents to progress their career can we have true gender equality at the top and address the gender pay gap.Many adults, like me, are diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Through the Big Careers, Small Children podcast and our award-winning Fellowship Programme, we have supported thousands of Leaders with young children to make brave decisions about their future. We believe that no parent should have to choose between progressing the career they love and enjoying their young children. This podcast is hosted by our social enterprise Leaders Plus. Expect lots of aha moments, inspiration, fresh ideas, and practical support, so you can move forward in your career in a way that works for you and your family.
