Happiness is a big topic, right?

But so many of us have to navigate the ups and downs of ADHD. Demanding careers, habits we wish we could adjust, understanding our own ADHD, and, for some, having to go through burnout.

And one thing is clear, there is no template for digging ourselves out of burnout. Everyone's experience with burnout or major stress requires some different strategies.

Our goal? We just want to be happy. And we want fulfillment in our lives so we can thrive as an adult with ADHD.

Today's guest is Cat Duvall.
