This is another exploration into the way ADHD affects us, my guest is Victoria Gazzard, who shares more deeply and widely about the challenges of parenting girls with ADHD, rites of passage and managing adult life. Together we ponder how female gender stereotypes can be particularly restrictive and damaging for girls and women with ADHD and how these restrictions play out over adult life.
Victoria specialises in fertility and provides emotional support and therapies as well as practical advice and coaching to help her clients through challenging times.
