Did you know that "we" are 400x more likely to choose entrepreneurship as a career path than our neurotypical counterparts? We love the excitement of starting something new, the dopamine hits of being recognized or getting the next sale, the freedom of being our own bosses, etc. But what about the daily grind? Hours of admin? Poor executive functioning skills? Getting sales? Loss of routine? Emotional dysregulation? Etc? Let's talk about that!

Laura Poirier is a ADHD Coach and Educator. She is also the creator of The ADHD Mama on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, which gets over 2 million views a year. She has spent over 21 years as an instructor working with youth and adults. For the past four years, she has helped over 10,000 parents, teachers, therapists, and pediatricians understand more about ADHD and how to support ADHD children. She hasn't always felt like a successful, confident mother who knew how to support my ADHD children. For the first 5 years of motherhood, she felt like a complete failure despite having ADHD herself. She read every book, blog, and watched every video she could find. She couldn’t find the content she was looking for online, so she started to make it herself. Learning about ADHD and adjusting her own parenting is what made the world of a difference. Laura helps individuals, families, and schools with the challenges of ADHD. Her approach blends education, collaborative problem-solving, and accountability, with compassion, and humour. Focusing on strengths and growth.  Laura The ADHD Mama  www.theadhdmama.com  https://linktr.ee/TheADHDmama ADDvocacy.org  Producer/Host Keith Gelhorn [email protected] Post Production Podcast Atlantic www.podcastatlantic.com Editor Michael Boyd [email protected]
