  • I found my home!

    I’m a full-time working mom of 4 beautiful kids. I was recently diagnosed with combined ADHD. Fumbling through life this far had taken everything out of me.

    I stumbled across this podcast, heard the intro and sobbed. I found the help I’ve always needed.

    Thank you
