Show Notes
ADHD, neurodivergent, neurodiversity, you hear those words everywhere, right? But nobody really explains them in a way that actually helps. In my very first episode of South of Normal, I’m setting the stage for what’s to come, breaking down what being neurodivergent really means and why so many of us are only now realizing it.
I’ll be diving deeper into ADHD myths, diagnosis, anxiety, autism, depression, and so much more in future episodes, sharing the real stories, humor, and lessons I’ve learned as a mom of seven who’s lived it all. If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or just searching for real answers, you’re in the right place. Let’s make sense of it together.
