Summary
Episode 194 with Unami Magwenzi. “I always felt like something didn’t quite click for me. I was capable and doing all these things professionally, but I never felt on top of anything.” Unami is a clinical psychologist, a pastor, a wife, and the mother of 4 children — 3 teenagers and a 5 year old. She is originally from Botswana in Southern Africa and now lives with her family in Perth, Western Australia. Unami shares how her children’s diagnoses prompted her own self-reflection, especially when it came to her struggles with focus, organization, and sensory sensitivities. She was diagnosed recently at the age of 44. We talk about some of the nuanced cultural perspectives surrounding ADHD, particularly in southern Africa versus Australia, and how those views have shaped Unami’s journey to self-acceptance.
