What a Year to Review!

The end of the year always brings about thoughts about the year we are leaving behind as well as thinking about the new year to come. 

As I look back through 2020, I am so thankful to our listeners and supporters of Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast. We truly appreciate your time and attention in allowing us to speak to you every week about topics that matter most to YOU. Without you, there wouldn’t be a podcast. Without you sharing your journey with us, we wouldn’t have this amazing platform to share with you.

I am also very thankful to the amazing guests we’ve had on the podcast this year.
