If you have ADHD and struggle to stay focused on your goals, you are not alone. In this episode of South of Normal, Jheri South sits down with multi-faceted entrepreneur Kelsey Edwards, who was only recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Kelsey shares how discovering her ADHD helped explain years of perfectionism, chasing too many goals, and feeling like her brain worked differently than everyone around her.

Together they discuss what ADHD can actually look like in women, why so many people miss the signs for years, and how learning to understand your brain can completely change the way you approach goals. If you’ve ever felt scattered, behind, or frustrated trying to keep up with how the world expects you to operate, this conversation will help you see ADHD through a different lens.
