Julie Legg chats with Jessica Lewis, a voice-over artist, photographer, podcast host, and mum of three ADHD kids, about her journey of self-discovery and late ADHD diagnosis. Jessica reflects on how parenting led to recognising her own neurodivergent traits, the emotional rollercoaster of raising differently wired children, and how small, simple strategies have helped her create calm amidst the chaos.

Jessica’s podcast Quick Wins for ADHD Moms is all about practical tools, and this conversation is no different. Full of real-world wisdom, it’s a reminder that tiny wins can lead to big changes and that self-compassion might just be the most powerful strategy of all.
