Episode Summary

Welcome to the Wealthy Wellthy Life with Krisstina Wise. James Ochoa is on a mission to help others understand the struggles of ADHD. People who have been diagnosed with ADHD should not see themselves as limited, flawed, or incapable. Their new found condition should be seen as a strength instead. Those with ADHD are able to see the world in a very unique way, which means they’re able to create a fantastic life for themselves―if only they fully understood their neurological condition.
