SUMMARY

Parenting is tough, and receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult can throw in some *extra* curveballs. Today, we are thrilled to chat with ADHD author and coach Meredith Carder about her personal journey to understanding her neurodiversity. She reveals how her diagnosis has reshaped her approach to parenting, turning challenges into unique strengths. Meredith also shares realistic, self-care strategies to help parents prioritize our own mental health.
