SUMMARY

In this heartfelt and highly entertaining episode, we are joined by Katie Sterbenz, speech-language pathologist and founder of Wee Talkers. Katie shares her personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood and how it has shaped her perspective as a parent of kids with ADHD. Katie brings wisdom, honesty, and vulnerability to this conversation. We are so grateful for her sharing tips for parents who may also be exploring their own neurodivergence while supporting their kids.
