Episode 2 with Frankie.
"If I could choose to take away the ADHD or the cancer, take away the ADHD."
Frankie is a single mother of a neurodivergent 5 year old daughter. She was diagnosed with stage 3, Triple Negative Breast Cancer last July and finished treatment about a month ago (after 16 rounds of chemo, 16 rounds of radiation and a double mastectomy with level one lymph node clearance).
She is a a queer, genderfluid person and is a massive Harry Styles fan and connects with his music on an insane level.
Frankie is creative and enjoys arts and craft. Besides this, she is also diagnosed with ADHD.
My chat with Frankie could have lasted hours! We related to each other's experiences and our neurodivergent struggles.
I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as I did.

Frankie has also kindly shared some ADHD or Neurodivergent friendly, Queer/Trans Resources and Breast Cancer resources:
