Join us as we walk down memory lane with the invigorating Abby White, who shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD in 2013.

Starting from church shows, high school theater, to her latest role as a standardized patient, Abby's journey is indeed a compelling story of resilience. Drawing strength from her passion for arts, she gives us a glimpse into how she coped with stress and anxiety. If you've been misunderstood or told that your dreams aren't realistic, this episode promises to fuel your spirit with inspiration and practical tips to stay committed to your passion.
