We talked with Anita on this episode about her being diagnosed with ADHD in her 50's, her incredibly full life of amazingness! She is doing SO many amazing things, like helping people with ADHD, couples with ADHD, teaching children with disabilities just to name a few! She is doing so much more than that, and I highly suggest not only listening to this episode, share it with anyone you know and connecting with Anita! She's my wonderful guest today from across the pond and you will love listening to her story!

Anita's Bio:
Semi-nomadic ADHD coach, consultant, and trainer, as well as eternal student, Anita works a lot with neurodivergent couples to help them understand each other. A phrase that often pops up in her reviews is ‘for the first time we seem to HEAR each other.’ As well as working 1:1 with couples, she runs a group coaching programme for the partners of ADHDers. When working with ADHD adults she realised that it is often not the ADHD that causes them problems, it is the trauma that builds up around the ADHD, which is why she is currently studying a somatic trauma informed coaching and leadership qualification. If you would like to hear her speak more, she gives talks for ADHD UK on a monthly basis.
