Boys Aren't Misdiagnosed With ADHD, Right? with Marc Ronick
SuccessFULL With ADHD
03/08/23 • 19 min
Being that I'm a coach myself, I'm all about hiring an expert to get you where you want to go and so I hired podcast coach/producer, Marc Ronick, to help me with this podcast.
His diagnosis happened later in life, but he'll explain why he was always suspicious that there was something neuro-divergent going on with him. He'll share why he's not blaming or judging himself about ADHD anymore and how he plans to get through this next phase of his life now that he learned to accept and embrace his ADHD.
