Anita Carr

ADHD & Mental Health Advocate, author, divorced mother of 3, discovering her identity again & wanting to inspire women to do the same

Anita was diagnosed with ADHD and separated from her husband at the age of 37 (now 41).

These two life changing events inspired Anita to start rediscovering who she was, and embrace all of the beautiful and messy parts of herself.

She slowly found her voice and started sharing her story in the hope of helping others, especially women, who may be going through similar struggles, and didn't want them to feel alone.

Anita wrote a chapter about her experiences in a collaborative book called Unity which was published in 2023.

Anita wants to use her voice to share her experiences, in advocating for ADHD and encouraging and inspiring women to live a life they truly deserve despite what they are told.
