Is self-awareness your secret weapon wit...

David A Greenwood
About this episode

You can't improve what you are not aware of and that is absolutely true when it comes to adult ADHD.

Self-awareness can be one of the most powerful ways to thrive with adult ADHD.

Without some self-awareness, we don't know what we need to work on or improve.

How do we go about self-awareness?

Dave talks about some of the basics of becoming more aware of your challenges as well as your successes in this short episode.

You'll find a theme here and it has to do with slowing down and beginning to understand yourself.
