Welcome to Episode 62 of For No Particular Reason, hosted by Kerri Lewis and Yanko Yankov! This week, we're joined by Jenna Knight, an inspiring ADHD coach, advocate, and PhD student, who brings truth, laughter, and heartfelt insights into a dynamic conversation about neurodiversity, emotional regulation, coaching, and healing through real human connection.

We also had a surprise drop-in from our energetic friend Nana, who jumped in from the gym to add a spark of joy, personal perspective, and wisdom from the world of service and sales.

In this powerful, unscripted roundtable-style episode, we touch on topics ranging from medication vs. mindset, to family dynamics, trauma, self-regulation, coaching breakthroughs, and the power of showing up as your full self.
