ADHD symptoms can be easy to miss — even when you’re someone
who knows a lot about ADHD. Kim Holderness shares her adult ADHD
diagnosis and the complicated feelings that came with it.

Kim felt embarrassed and like a fraud. For years, she assumed her
anxiety and emotional ups and downs were simply part of the very
real load many busy moms carry.

Kim and Penn Holderness — creators, authors, and the couple
behind the Holderness Family — have long been surrounded by
ADHD in their life and work. In a quick, sweet cameo, Penn (who
also has ADHD) shares how he supports Kim in practical ways, like
handling paperwork and day-to-day logistics.
