In this episode of Backpacking Through ADHD, Tera is joined by Lisa Richer, founder of Journey2Bloom, for a grounded conversation about ADHD, parenting, advocacy, burnout, masking, learning differences, and the messy middle of becoming.

Lisa is a neurodiversity consultant, neurodivergent success partner, late-diagnosed ADHD woman, and mom of two neurodiverse sons. Together, Tera and Lisa explore what it means to be in the same ocean but different boats, why no two ADHD journeys look exactly alike, and how curiosity can change the way we understand ourselves and our kids.

They talk about defiance versus dysregulation, the emotional weight parents carry, how diagnoses can inform without defining, and why asking “Help me understand how” may open more connection than asking “why.”

If you are parenting a neurodivergent child, navigating school support, questioning what your child needs next, or rediscovering your own ADHD identity later in life, this conversation is for you.
