I don't just know about ADHD. I've lived every step of it.

Growing up, I was called thick. And stupid. Always had a messy desk, a messy bedroom. Teachers were always moaning to my mum, and always comparing me to the clever kids.

I went from job to job, usually leaving before I got sacked. So I built my own way instead.

I bought the oldest estate agents in Liverpool and had never bought or sold a house before.

I bought a Nail bar off eBay and turned it into an international company. I created and launched an award-winning skincare range.

But inside I was still asking, "why can't I just have one job like everyone else and be happy with it??"

Then my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and the doctor told me that it was generic, it was her dad I thought at first, but then, I could see all of the things she was going through, I had also gone through myself my whole life and everything clicked.

The wondering. The diagnosis. The grief for the girl who thought she was thick. Learning to work with my brain, not against it. I've been through all of it.

Now I'm the founder of ADHD Support Services CIC, and the author of 4 books, including the bestseller Amazing Me with ADHD.

Wherever you are on your ADHD journey, I've been there. And you don't have to do it on your own. 💛
