Holly and Ryan on overcoming ADHD - Jane’s special guests today are Holly Robinson Peete and her 24-year old daughter,  Ryan. Holly, a mother of four, is an amazingly accomplished actress, singer, author, talk show host, philanthropist, influencer and activist. Ryan, for her part, is no stranger to the spotlight. She herself is a singer and songwriter and has written two children’s books, one winning an NAACP Award, and she is working on a third. You may also remember them from the docu-series on the Hallmark Channel, Meet the Peete’s. Both Holly and Ryan are with Jane today to share their experience with Ryan's ADHD (short for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)  to educate others by highlighting ADHD as a part of the neurodiversity that permeates our society. Ryan, who was diagnosed with this disorder as a teen, and her devoted mom, talk all about how it all manifested and how they have managed to cope with it over the years. They will also share their tips and tools on beauty and wellness, and discuss the importance of a healthy lifestyle in overcoming any stressful situation. Listeners will learn that despite dealing with seemingly overwhelming obstacles, it is still possible to empower and improve their everyday lives to ultimately find joy & happiness & be Better Than Before.

Drawing from her long career writing nationally syndicated columns on beauty, health, and fitness, Jane translates her wisdom into conversation, moving from the page to the airwaves.

You'll hear Jane guide her audience through concepts of self-care that are both gentle and effective, focusing on how to truly relax a busy mind, replenish depleted energy, and rejuvenate a weary spirit.
