🎙️ Episode 4 has roundhouse kicks, real talk, and a bit of audio recorded on the road (a first for the show).

Join me as I finally share what went down at my long-awaited ADHD assessment. Did the psychiatrist laugh in my face? Did I get a goody bag full of meds? Am I podcasting from a padded cell? Spoiler: No. But it’s a ride.

You'll also hear about:

• How Jean-Claude Van Damme may havea influenced me a little too much

• Misdiagnosis and why so many ADHDers get mistaken for something else

• The raw before and after the assessment moments, recorded straight from my car
