An ADHD coach on being a defiant teen, ADHD overwhelm, and self-care (Caren Magill’s story)

ADHD coach and creator Caren Magill was diagnosed with ADHD in
2020, during the pandemic. Caren gets real about her experience
as a teen girl with undiagnosed ADHD: dropping out of high
school, smoking, having poor self-care, and being a “messy kid.”
She also shares how she manages her ADHD through fitness, sleep,
and meditation.  


Caren is also the host of It’s The ADHD-Friendly Show
podcast. Listen as she shares what she’s hearing from women with
ADHD about overwhelm, and approaching ADHD challenges with
curiosity instead of shame.
