35. ADHD Journey Meredith Carder - Author, ADHD Coach and Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur

Written By Sam Milburn
 

Meredith Carder is an ADHD Coach, creator and writer with a BS in psychology and MBA. As a true multi-passionate adult with ADHD, Meredith has gained considerable experience over the last 20 years working in employee training and development, as well as successfully running several small businesses culminating in a huge following on social media.

Meredith shares her ADHD story with us and how as an adult, the struggles started to creep in. And like so many of my guests these realisations started to come to light when she found out about her child’s neurodivergences.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The ADHD diagnosis pathways in the US

  • How Meredith felt around her and her daughter’s ADHD diagnosis and the worry of being believed

  • The ADHD grief process that Meredith has worked through

  • How Meredith slowly shared her ADHD news and found safe people to share her diagnosis with

  • How Meredith’s Instagram was a way to talk about ADHD and how positive the response was

  • Meredith’s very random previous businesses (the typical multi passionate ADHDer!)

  • Some of the systems Meredith puts in place to stay focussed on her successful coaching business so it works for her

  • Bucking the ‘typical’ business advice for an ADHDer by incorporating variety

  • Some of the common difficulties ADHDers face in the workplace and as entrepreneurs

  • What Meredith loves about her ADHD

  • How ADHDers can be great listeners and talkers

  • Checking for understanding with your partner so information sinks in

  • Meredith’s advice for anyone who thinks they may have ADHD

Meredith has some great strategies in her brand new book ‘It all makes sense now’ designed for anyone who wants to learn more about their ADHD and strategies they can try out to manage some of their ADHD struggles. I’ve found it super easy to read with bite size-tips. Great for anyone who is at the start of their journey. Buy your copy here
