And it’s hosted by Laura Key.  It includes candid stories from people who share the moment it clicked that they, or someone they know, has ADHD. I wanted to do this because I know from talking to our audience that ADHD is something that many of you are experiencing. I hope you give it a listen, and if it resonates, give ADHD Aha!
