FOCUS FFS - An ADHD Photographer's Podcast
I'm Cherish and I have my dream life. I also have ADHD, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, & Chronic Pain. It took almost dying to finally shove me out of my office job and hurling into becoming a full-time photographer. I don't want you to almost die before you finally decide to go for it, so I decided to make a podcast to talk you into it. I’ll have plenty of guests here with me to share the best tips and tricks we know, what mistakes we made, and how you can avoid making those same oopsies yourself. Let's get our shit together. TOGETHER! #FFFS
