Episode Synopsis
Marisa Moon is here sharing her life-changing journey from struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and battling depression to becoming a prominent health coach and advocate. Marisa's story gives us a peek into the hidden struggles of ADHD in women, challenging traditional diagnostic norms. She went from fashion studies to bartending, searching for interactive work environments that resonate with her personality. Through therapy and medication, she unlocked empowerment and family understanding.
