Ignored to icons: These trailblazers changed the game for women with ADHD
Description
On this very special episode of Hyperfocus, host Rae Jacobson interviews three of these women — Sari Solden, Terry Matlen, and Dr. Ellen Littman — along with Dr. Michelle Frank, a psychologist taking up the torch for a new generation.
Together, they discuss how they met, their journey to legitimize ADHD in women, and what they hope for the future.
