Join our FREE masterclass "How to Stop Being So Defensive" on Mon, March 4 2024 @ 10am EST ▶ https://event.webinarjam.com/register...

Today I am joined by Alex Partridge, founder of UNILAD's LADBible and host of the ADHD Chatter podcast. Alex was diagnosed with ADHD at 34 years old because of podcasting! Learn how it has changed his life and business ventures.

Alex shares bravely about his symptoms of anxiety, rejection sensitivity, and impulsivity that led to an "ADHD tax" of abandoned projects. Though undiagnosed, Alex channeled his creativity into entrepreneurial endeavors. However, it wasn't until experiencing a costly boom and bust cycle with a podcast that never launched that Alex pursued an assessment.

Join us as we unpack misconceptions about ADHD as well as the relief and transformation that can come from a diagnosis later in life. Alex emphasizes the power of self-awareness, treating yourself compassionately, and embracing what intrinsically motivates you.
