    Very grateful for this podcast. I love Cathy's expressive stories and ways of explaining adhd. I re-listen to the one about confidence many times because it helps center what I'm feeling and reminds me o where I want to be. Cathy is so good about naming and centering the many faces of emotional dysregulation. So much gratitude for this podcast!
