You Don't Have to Be Everyone's Cup of Tea

Finding the right friends can be hard, especially when you're living in a pandemic, and especially especially when you have ADHD.

Today our guest host, René Brooks, talks about some of her personal experience with "friends" that tried to fix her, why it's important to examine the quality of your friendships, and the big lesson she's learned from her best friend of twenty years, who doesn't have ADHD and has always accepted her as-is, quirks and all. 

Do you have a question or show idea you'd like René to address in a future episode or an episode idea for us? Write an email or record a voice memo and send it to [email protected].

René Brooks is guest-hosting Distraction through December! René is an ADHD coach, writer and advocate who also has ADHD herself. From Black Girl, Lost Keys website: René Brooks is a late-life ADHD success story. After being diagnosed 3 times as a child (7, 11 and 25) she was finally able to get the treatment she deserved. René decided that her passion for helping others should be put toward people with this disorder who are struggling in silence or shame. She started Black Girl, Lost Keys to empower Black women with ADHD and show them how to live well with the condition.
