In this episode I chat with Julie Legg author, podcaster, actor, musician, homesteader and late diagnosed adhder. We discuss her book, podcast, misconceptions and myths of ADHD and some of the strategies she adopts to help manage her symptoms. Julie's book, The Missing Piece, combines her own lived experience of being diagnosed with research and powerful personal stories from other Kiwi women with ADHD. It's a go-to reference for any stage of your journey, whether you're newly diagnosed, exploring the possibility, or supporting someone who is. She carries on the conversation along with her husband on their podcast ADHDifference.Home - Julie LeggADHDifference podcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/42EAPqQrS5BQjbYUTK5V2Y?si=e6649974de074ed2
