Episode 118: Channeling our ADHD Creativity and Energy into Purpose with Louise Gooding
Are you newly diagnosed with ADHD and looking for more support? Or are you currently awaiting an ADHD diagnosis and desperate for more guidance?? If so, look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.
This week, proud ADHDer and neurodiversity advocate Louise Gooding joins us on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast.
Louise is the author of three braintastic children's nonfiction books: Just Like Me: 40 Neurologically and Physically Diverse People Who Broke Stereotypes; The Memory Book, a reassuring story about understanding dementia; and recently released and best-selling Wonderfully Wired Brains, an introduction to the world of neurodiversity.
Louise has worked with children from 5 to 16 and has got them thinking about their own wonderfully wired brains. She speaks openly about her own experiences as a neurodiverse child and adult and how her experiences have shaped who she is today.
