In this episode, Sam and Katie speak to Gill, who was a midwife and got in touch to say she'd been diagnosed with ADHD after retirement and it's given her a new outlook on life. They discuss, what it's like coming to terms with an ADHD diagnosis later in life and how it can change how you communicate in your relationships. 📸 Instagram: @yourewrongaboutadhd 🎵 TikTok: @ywaadhd.pod ▶️ YouTube: @yourewrongaboutADHD For advertising opportunities on this show email [email protected] Music composed by Bella Saer and Yoad Nevo bellasaer.com | yoadnevo.com
