ADHD Journey with Heidi Mavir - Parenting Neurodivergent Children and Turning your Passion into your Business

Heidi helps families get the education their children deserve. Sunday Times Bestseller of ‘Your Child Is Not Broken’, advocate and speaker, Heidi was someone I’ve been wanting to talk to and I’m super thankful our mutual friend put me in contact.

(Just a quick one! Please do follow and rate the podcast. I’m getting lovely messages from people that it’s helping. Every follow pushes it up the charts to reach more people that need it)

Heidi is a fellow late diagnosed ADHDer who very kindly shared her personal stories and experiences in this episode including:

• The ADHD and Autism realisations at the time her son was diagnosed
• The struggles we face as parents in getting a diagnosis for our children
• Recognising the increase in our ADHD traits at key hormone changes for people who are AFAB, during childbirth, menstruation and menopause.
• How Heidi’s EOTAS membership business came into being
• How Heidi manages to run a successful business taking into account her chronic illness and ADHD
• Removing the stigma around telling people when we notice neurodivergent traits
• Why Heidi prefers to personally use the term neurodivergent when talking about herself
• The complexity of the neurodivergences
• What Heidi loves about being neurodivergent
• What Heidi wished someone had said to her back when she was diagnosed
• The importance of support and therapy
