The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast

This is one to share with your team, office, employers or employees!

On this short podcast episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom, I talk to Hester Grainger, a neurodiversity consultant, co-founder of Perfectly Autistic and Perfectly ADHD, a radio presenter and former TV presenter diagnosed with ADHD in her forties, about changing the way we look at neurodivergence in the workplace, raising awareness of what neurodiversity looks like in the office and showing up to help more people feel supported at work. We also discuss ways employees can feel seen and heard at work and break down stigmas to help create more awareness and education.

Together with her husband Kelly, who is autistic and has ADHD, they run their neurodiversity consultancy, which works with organisations to raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the workplace and works with parents and education settings around autism and ADHD.

Hester is also mum to her two children, who are autistic and have ADHD.

I bring back two fantastic guests in today's episode: Rachel Harris and Jodie Hill. Both are trailblazing women in their respective industries, paving the way for more neurodivergent women to ask for what they need and create strong scaffolding to support them from burnout while also satiating their inner drive, ambition and big dreams.

We discuss recognizing and harnessing our ADHD preferences in our careers so we can bring our A-game to our purpose-driven careers without feeling exhausted and depleted by our brains.

Both Rachel and Jodie are inspiring female entrepreneurs, teaching us to harness our authentic selves to succeed in our careers alongside our ADHD.

Firstly, who knew talking about financial wellbeing and accounting could be this fascinating and inspiring? When you hear this episode, you'll see why I'm so giddy about it!

This week's first guest on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast is Rachel Harris. Rachel is disrupting what it means to be an accountant, a business owner and an employer in 2023. She is a TEDx speaker, content creator, author, business owner and, most importantly... an accountant! She is passionate about free financial education for everyone.

During this week's podcast episode, we spoke about:

• Rachel being profoundly deaf and how she became so successful despite this challenge
• Communication preferences in business
• Financial fears
• Asking clients what they need
• Breaking down barriers of fear
• The trauma of not understanding money or accounts
• Asking for help without shame

Rachel has also generously shared two free resources with the listeners—her 'Accounting 101' video, which you can access here, and her 'Financial Wellbeing' video, which you can watch now by clicking here.

Running a business your way after an ADHD diagnosis...

I'm excited to introduce another true trailblazer in the law industry, an inspiring D&I advocate, mentor and successful businesswoman, Jodie Hill. Following her breakdown (which she now refers to as her breakthrough!), Jodie decided to set up her unique employment law firm, Thrive Law, where her values around mental health and diversity & inclusion would be the foundations of the firm and are embodied in everything she does.

Jodie is passionate about creating an environment where both she and her team can Thrive. Her mission is to educate and empower employers to create their own thriving cultures. You can buy Jodie's Thriving at Life journal here.

During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Jodie chat about:

• How Jodie's burnout and breakdown manifested and why she set up her own law firm which prioritised people's wellbeing

As women with ADHD, we have an abundance of ideas, but thriving in business can feel difficult if we work against ourselves. By taking time to rest and make space while being consciously aware of where our energy and creativity levels are, we can be more successful and focused in our careers alongside ADHD.

Today, I bring you a deeply personal message through a solo episode.

As I take a break from releasing new content for a few weeks while I have some time off over the summer, this episode is an invitation to surrender and notice, without judgment, where you are right now, where you've been for the past few months, and what you're crying out for as we move towards the last few months of 2024.

In this message, I discuss whether, despite the chaotic external climate, we are able to try to slow down, remove pressure, and release some of the heavy burdens we are all carrying within us. I ask you what it is you need to calm and regulate your ADHD nervous system.

"What if I choose to let go, trust and believe that things can get better?"

I also get curious about leaning into positivity and gratitude in the morning and allowing ourselves time to disconnect and reflect on what we're feeling and desiring for the future.

This is my battle cry to all my ADHD community: we are deserving and worthy of abundance, success and rest! As well as time out to recharge, renourish and rejuvenate.

Sending much love and speak very soon!

Navigating the ADHD diagnostic pathways while being neurodivergent is not easy. It can be incredibly challenging when we're also doing this to support and advocate for our children. Understanding our stories and beliefs about how ADHD has shown up for ourselves allows us to recognise the power of advocating for new stories to show up for the next generation.

This week's guest, Dr Tom Nicholson, lectures at Northumbria University and is a Neurodiversity and mental Health Specialist who has delivered hundreds of speaking events and guest lectures on ADHD, Mental Health, Neurodiversity, and Neuroinclusion.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Tom Nicholson speak about:

Did you know that many people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, even in childhood, may also be living with undiagnosed ADHD? ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions that frequently overlap, confusing the nature of these two conditions. It is (very cautiously) estimated that 30% of those with dyslexia have coexisting ADHD. Neurodiversity experts now believe that neurodivergence NEVER travels alone, meaning that there will always be at least another coexisting condition.

So, if you have an ADHD diagnosis, there's a high chance of another overlapping neurodiversity, such as dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and vice versa. ADHD doesn't cause dyslexia; it's simply a co-existing trait. Likewise, if you have a dyslexia diagnosis, get curious about whether ADHD may also be in the mix, especially if you have suffered from other issues such as overthinking, anxiety, RSD or PMDD.

This week's guest is Natalie Brooks, founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a company that aims to help ambitious dyslexic adults thrive in the workplace.

On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Natalie speak about:

• Natalie's experience of growing up with dyslexia
• Natalie's dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD journey
• The interplay of ADHD and Dyslexia
• Looking at the intersectionality of neurodiversity
• Taking a more holistic approach to diagnosis
• How dyslexia shows up for different people
• What you can ask for at work when you have dyslexia
• Dealing with other people's expectations of you when you are Dyslexic
• Natalie's dyslexic role models

Despite many of us feeling challenged by undiagnosed ADHD for most of our lives, there is also a way to thrive alongside our ADHD. On today's episode, I talk to Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, known affectionately as "The Creative Scientist," a distinguished clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher in the UK.

His expertise centres on the intricate gut-brain connection, drawing on a rich, real-world scientific foundation rather than purely academic pursuits. Dr. Miguel's academic journey includes degrees in Nutritional Medicine and Clinical Neuroscience, culminating in a Doctorate focused on Mental Health and the Gut Microbiome.

Navigating life with ADHD and autism, Dr Miguel possesses a deep, personal understanding of the specific dietary needs of neurodivergent individuals. He emphasises the critical role of dietary choices in enhancing executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation.

His philosophy is captured in his words: “By understanding and addressing the nuanced relationships between what we eat and how our brains operate, we empower ourselves to make choices that not only nourish our bodies but also support our neurodivergent minds in navigating daily tasks and interactions more smoothly.”

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Miguel and Kate spoke about:

• Miguel's journey to his ADHD diagnosis
• Bringing a more feminine softer energy to science
• The relationship between the gut and the Brain
• ADHD and disordered eating
• ADHD tendencies toward extreme behaviour
• Having self-compassion around your diet and what you eat
• How self-compassion can actually help your gut health
• Identifying sources of rejection sensitivity dysphoria

Dr Miguel offers personalized clinical consultations and has crafted a comprehensive course titled "Thrive with ADHD," available at drmiguelmateas.com/thrive-with-adhd-course.

When we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles.

We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail. Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!

After closing her original business, Andrea poured her heart and soul into her garden to support her mental well-being and give her something to focus on during this time. This eventually became her next venture, Dahlia Beach—a Plant Your Own Flower Garden based in Oxfordshire.

During today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode, I chat with the inspiring Andrea all about:

• Being a multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneur
• Seeing gaps in the market
• Owning our failures, why we shouldn't be afraid to fail and accepting the mistakes we make
• Following our dreams with ADHD and harnessing our ADHD traits
• Being a maverick and staying true to our convictions
• Using hyper-focus to flourish and being brave in our choices
• Discovering ADHD and Perimenopause
• Using HRT to help her perimenopause symptoms
• Admin breakdowns in business and finding people to help fill the gaps
• Creating an ADHD-friendly business

As many of you who have followed me for a while will know, EFT or tapping is something I talk about a lot!

I began my training in 2019 and continue to use tapping on myself, my kids and many of my clients most weeks. I have combined EFT in many of my workshops, and I love making tapping as accessible as possible for all of my community.

I'm always blown away by the results and how effective a short amount of tapping can be. And on this week's episode, I have Pearl Lopian, a Psychotherapist, EFT Master Trainer and Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience. Pearl is also my teacher and mentor and is a true expert in this field. Early on, I noticed how powerful using tapping can be for the ADHD brain and nervous system and I'm delighted to bring this powerful conversation to the podcast.

If you're intrigued about using EFT for ADHD traits such as RSD, overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, stepping into your potential or overthinking, Kate has free tap-along videos here and lots of resources on her website here. Kate also wrote an article on ADHD and EFT for ADDitude, have a read here.

Tapping is also wonderful for children and very safe.

On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Pearl speak about:

• What Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is
• How you can utilise EFT in your daily life
• Using EFT to help your ADHD children and loved ones

It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a neurodivergent doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation. She tells me her secrets to a fulfilled life of gratitude, acceptance and authenticity.

I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who was 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared—I had many epiphanies after each chapter.

After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain—she shares her dyslexia, learning, and education journey—I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast!

During our conversation, Dr Gladys shared her story of being held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how, through her different learning styles and curiosity, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.

I have been studying this transformational spiritual technology and wisdom on and off for over ten years but only recently have dedicated many hours to learning more to help me feel more at peace and purposeful in my life. It has also helped me with countless tools and practices to self-regulate, calm and profoundly accept myself while offering me different perspectives to feel more at peace with where I am right now. I use these shifts in my relationships and friendships, my business, my coaching clients and throughout daily my existence. To say it's been a life-changing shift is an understatement!

And this week's guest is David Ghiyam, one of the teachers at the Kabbalah Centre and someone I have learnt a lot from. He has given over 20,000 hours of personal, spiritual, and entrepreneurial coaching and 1000 seminars utilizing the universal wisdom of Kabbalah. His passion is to bring value wherever he can to help others achieve a fulfilling life. He gave a MasterClass encompassing those teachings at www.KabbalahOne.com.

David also hosts one of the world's top spiritual podcasts, Weekly Energy Boost, with over 2M downloads. David brought his experiences through helping others to co-found MaryRuth's () with his wife MaryRuth, a category leader in vegan liquid vitamins and gummies and a trusted brand among millions of parents for kids' health nationwide.

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and David speak about:

• What Kabbalah is and how we can use it's tool in our daily life
• How to use the Kabbalah practices as a neurodivergent person
• Creating more clarity, certainty and self-compassion in our daily lives
• How to take the pressure off yourself and self-regulate
• Elevating and expanding our consciousness and creating more positive energy
• Learning to welcome and appreciate the difficulties in your life
• Re-framing anxiety in your life

This week, we have Rosie Turner, founder of ADHD Untangled, on the podcast, and she tells me her story, which combines addiction, impulsivity, and restlessness, to becoming a yoga instructor, lover of exercise and now a certified ADHD coach.

Rosie's journey into ADHD coaching is deeply personal. Following her late ADHD diagnosis, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, having grappled with chaos, addiction, burnout and mental health struggles.

Rosie’s big U-turn came after life-altering events led her to run the London Marathon in honour of a friend who she lost due to mental health struggles.

Rosie’s ADHD diagnosis gave her an understanding of why she was unable to find her place in the world. From then on, she made a promise to herself to spend the rest of her life doing everything she could to support those with ADHD to turn their own story of struggle into a story of strength.

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Rosie speak about:

• Rosie's chaotic life before her ADHD diagnosis
• How Rosie started her yoga journey
• Rosie's journey to enjoying running and movement and how this began to change her life
• The deep connection between exercise and meditation to calming her ADHD
• Rosie's addictive patterns, including how this impacted her exercise routine
• How to maintain novelty and motivation with exercise and movement
• Changing up our routines to help create motivation
• Understanding and being aware of our individual brains
• The shame we hold and letting it go to move forward with more balance and self-acceptance
• Having a deeper why for having a healthier routine to combat the challenging days
• Rosie's new ADHD coaching practice

Ever since reading about the concept of 'low-demand parenting,' which is helping many neurodivergent parents regulate their neurodivergent kids, I've been desperate to talk about this on the podcast. It was a revelation to learn that there is an actual practice where we can intentionally drop the external pressures and societal conditioning and intuitively parent our children according to their needs, energy, and nervous systems.

I'm delighted to welcome this week's guest, Amanda Diekman, an autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space. We discuss dropping demands, restoring calm, and finding connections with our children.

Amanda became a leading voice in the movement for low-demand parenting practices with her book Low Demand Parenting, published in July 2023.  She lives with her husband and three neurodivergent children in an intentional community in Durham, NC.

On today's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Amanda and Kate spoke about:

• Amanda's son's autism diagnosis journey
• What it means to be a 'low-demand parent'
• Re-defining how you want to parent
• Abeism - what does this look like
• Letting go of parenting demands, habits or standards that aren't benefiting you
• Releasing all the expectations, pressures, shoulds and conditioning to help create a calmer environment for our family
• Things you can drop or change to make parenting easier for you
• Making communication safe for your autistic or neurodivergent child
• What it means to 'un-school'
• Dealing with systems and schools as a neurodivergent parent
• Asking for accommodations for you and your children

You've probably heard how passionate I am about helping people with ADHD weave more lifestyle-orientated practices alongside Western healthcare in their daily routine, and I'm delighted to welcome someone who embraces this approach with her patients, Dr Gemma Newman (The Plant Power Doctor), a best-selling author, podcast host, and GP.

Although Gemma is a medical GP, she's also interested in holistic health, plant-based nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. In her practice, she has come to understand that body, mind, and soul are not separate and that only by addressing the root causes of stress and disconnection can we truly heal from the inside out. She is a founding member and ambassador for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK and a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.

Gemma's second book, Get Well, Stay Well: The Six Healing Health Habits Everyone Should Know (Ebury, 2024), combines medicine, psychology, and nutrition. It provides simple, actionable tips and a unique wellness template to help you transform your life.

On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Gemma and Kate speak about:

• Gemma's GLOVES framework for holistic and lifestyle wellbeing
• The role of functional medicine and ADHD
• How to talk to your GP regarding an ADHD diagnosis
• Self-compassion as a neurodivergent person
• Gemma's journey to spiritual practice, holistic and functional health
• Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping and the many benefits for ADHD
• The benefits of plant-focused eating
• Knowing the areas of health that will help YOU the most
• How does our emotional and spiritual wellbeing impact our physical health

Welcome to a new episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom!

Going against the grain of negativity, sometimes when everyone else is complaining, we feel like we should be too. On today's mini-'wisdom' episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, hear from my previous guest, Nicole Goodman, co-host of the Self-Care Club Podcast, who tries to break down this mindset and own when actually you feel pretty great!

Nicole and I discuss the importance of having confidence in ourselves as women, our innate knowledge, intuition, and power, and how we can lean into all of them and own what we want in our lives. We also discuss choosing and allowing ourselves to lean into looking after ourselves.

Ambitions manifest differently for everyone, and in this podcast series, Kate will hear about the different journeys and challenges her guests have faced while balancing their well-being and spiritual aspirations, career goals, family lives, and often-forgotten self-care.

Spring cleaning energy is upon us, and I have been tackling some cleaning and clearing this weekend. For this reason, I wanted to share a snippet of my conversation with professional organiser, entrepreneur, and author Vicky Silverthorn. Vicky started her business, You Need A Vicky, over 12 years ago, back in the days when people hadn't heard of this job role.

If a messy, disorganised environment makes you feel anxious, or perhaps decluttering and having minimal clutter helps you feel internally calmer, or maybe you're desperate to clear out but unsure where to begin - this episode is for you!

During this episode, Kate and Vicky speak about:

• OCD and ADHD
• Vicky's burnout story and understanding how her ADHD has presented
• Reframing simplicity and productivity with an ADHD slant
• The impact of decluttering on our mental health
• Separating sentimentality and clutter
• Creative, simple, sustainable systems to stay organised
• Easy ways to start decluttering and organising for an ADHD brain
• Getting the motivation to de-clutter
• Why an ADHD brain benefits from clean and tidy environments

You can connect with Vicky on her website, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.

Migraines and ADHD are something I hear about a lot in my ADHD female community. I also relate to this from a personal perspective with one of my ADHD daughters suffering from migraines, as well as quite a few friends. Migraines can be a lifelong debilitating condition alongside the many other symptoms that come with them.

Today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode explores the very powerful connection between migraines and neurodivergence in women with my guest, Diane Ducarme, the contemporary master of migraine investigation. Her unique approach combines the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting-edge technology to unearth the intricate root causes of migraines weaving on top of genetics. Diane’s relentless inquisitive mind for highly complex problems is what allows her to deliver life-transforming results, which is the fuel to her energy.

What sets Diane apart is her emphasis on the power of functional foods. Unlike conventional approaches focusing on eliminating foods, Diane adds new elements to the equation. Her dedication to unravelling the mysteries of migraines has inspired a podcast, "Migraine Heroes," and her company, Nectar Health, is at the forefront of this remarkable journey towards migraine relief and wellness.

On this episode, Kate and Diane speak about:

• A digestive superfood that could help your migraines
• The vagus nerve and the connection to migraines
• Why migraines could be related to your ADHD
• How your digestive system can hold the keys to health
• The connection between your brain function and your food
• The profound wisdom of Chinese traditional medicine
• How Hormonal shifts affect your gut and brain
• Having period cycles that can actually feel good
• The effects of endometriosis on the digestive system
• What chinese traditional medicine can teach you about ADHD

Undiagnosed ADHD, at best, can be a life-long nuisance and energy-sapper, but at worst, it can trigger the worst of mental health issues, including suicide ideation.

Unfortunately, this week's guest, Priyanka Patel, a pharmacist and who was diagnosed with ADHD at 27, knows this all too well.

She was diagnosed with depression in 2020 and, despite her efforts to try and get an ADHD assessment, was not listened to by her GP. Priyanka was then put on a variety of medications, which led to a significant decline in her mental health.

Since finally getting her ADHD diagnosis, Priyanka's life has transformed, and now she is on a mission to ensure no other woman has to go through what she did.

During this week's episode, Kate and Priyanka talk about:

• Priyanka's mental health and diagnosis story
• How Priyanka's family dealt with her diagnosis
• Focussing on all our negatives instead of our strengths
• The stigma of mental health, ADHD and medication in Indian culture

• Increasing awareness and screening of ADHD in GPs

ADHD can bring many opposing challenges and connotations and can feel like heavy energy to deal with. Yet, through gentle curiosity, we can find new options to reprogram our thinking and switch our emotional energy to create a happier, calmer and more fulfilling family life.

The word 'hope' to so many of us can feel ambiguous and distant and yet in this conversation, my guest Gail Muller, a Cornish adventurer, author, speaker, and coach, breaks down the power of hope through a late in life ADHD diagnosis. This is a riveting conversation where we learn that we can always choose hope from the depths of life's challenges.

Gail has spent twenty years in education: teaching, leading, and consulting globally, helping raise aspirations and encouraging life-long learning for all. She passionately advocates for the belief that our broken bits can also be superpowers. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, she also struggled for fifteen years with debilitating chronic pain.

In 2019, after considerable physical rehabilitation, she walked the Appalachian Trail in the USA, later writing a bestselling book about the experience called Unlost. Gail advocates for living a life that’s courageous and true to oneself. She runs popular online courses and residential retreats in Cornwall and gives talks and workshops worldwide, encouraging people to dig into their creativity, build resilience, and grow in confidence.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Gail talk about:

• Gail's chronic pain journey
• Hope and acceptance can exist together
• How to use hope in life and how Gail teaches it to her students
• ADHD and the connection between chronic pain, hypermobility, inflammation
• Unexplained answers, pain and neurodivergence
• Hope as an energy
• Becoming empowered with more answers to thrive with ADHD
• How to stop fighting against ourselves

• Gail's post-diagnosis crash
• Generational healing and processing after a diagnosis

Do you feel your nervous system is constantly heightened and dysregulated? Perhaps the feeling of hypervigilance, anxiety, and not being able to settle? This is a prevalent theme I hear from many of us with ADHD - myself included.

If so, Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.

In this week’s shorter ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom episode, I chat with Lisa Ryan, an experienced trauma-informed physiotherapist and somatic therapy practitioner. Lisa supports individuals (many with ADHD) who experience persistent (chronic) pain and health issues such as fibromyalgia, long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), unexplained physical symptoms, burnout, tension headaches/migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and many more. Lisa’s mission is simple - to help people find freedom from pain and troublesome symptoms, live well and thrive.

During today's podcast episode, Lisa and I talk about:

• ADHD masking and its impact on the nervous system
• Creating more safety in our body
• How to move trauma through your body
• How our busy society and little downtime contribute to a heightened nervous system
• Why chronic pain, CFS and fibromyalgia is connected to high levels of stress and trauma in our nervous system
• Incorporating fun movement, nature, grounding and joy to settle and nurture the nervous system
• Self-holding, self-soothing and using different parts of our body to calm and regulate
• The basic needs of the nervous system and how to meet them
• ADHD and Hypervigilance

This is one of the most inspiring and empowering episodes I've recorded. We are at the cusp of new understandings about combining medical disciplines so we can understand ADHD in girls and women better through the lens of both hormones and psychiatry. This is for the lost generation of women who never got answers and for the future generations of girls who deserve better medical knowledge and research.

This week's guest is Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund. Lotta is an associate professor in psychiatry at the Department of Women and Children's Health at Uppsala University and an affiliated researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet. Her scientific work and research target the intersection of ADHD and comorbidity conditions (substance use disorders, personality disorders and mood disorders) as well as gender discrepancies and hormonal factors associated with neurodiversity and ADHD. She is the author of six popular science books on ADHD and addiction, and her book ADHD Girls to Women - Getting on the Radar has been translated into several European languages, English and Korean.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Lotta Skoglund and Kate spoke about:

• Dr Lotta's ADHD diagnosis
• ADHD purpose
• The Seven ADHD lifestyle factors we need to think about daily
• The Letterlife app initiative and research
• Feeling abandoned by healthcare professionals after an ADHD diagnosis
• Why healthcare professionals should be working together to help patients
• How an understanding of ADHD can change your health outcomes
• Building autonomy to feel more empowered with our ADHD
• Improving female-based medical research and ADHD
• The importance of talking about your experiences with hormones to help others
• Precision and patient-led medicine
• Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD women
• Why fluctuating hormones and cycles need to be part of the bigger health picture
• Getting to know your unique hormone cycle traits
• How you can create a personalised health journal

We also discuss ways that employees can feel seen and heard at work and break down stigmas to help create more awareness and education.

Together with her husband Kelly, who is autistic and has ADHD, they run their neurodiversity consultancy, which works with organisations to raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the workplace and works with parents and education settings around autism and ADHD.

Hester is also mum to her two children, who are autistic and have ADHD.

Anxiety during pregnancy and after childbirth can be very normal for all people, yet when we are neurodivergent, this time can be even more challenging. Support during and after pregnancy is vital to help neurodivergent mothers feel less alone.

She is also a trained Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind Practitioner and Perinatal Emotional Health and Wellbeing Practitioner. She is the mum of two girls, one of whom is autistic, and is passionate about improving support for neurodivergent people perinatally.

In this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Victoria talk about:

• The role of a doula at birth and pre-birth 
• How to find support around your birth 
• The role hormones play in your birth and postnatal time 
• Knowing your choices going into birth

Using mindfulness to help our ADHD shouldn't work but actually, it can be the perfect antidote to our restless, reactive brains - as long as we're open to being more present and self-compassionate.

Dr Zylowska is also an author of two books, The Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD and Mindfulness for Adult ADHD - A Clinician’s Guide.

• Managing emotional regulation using ADHD-friendly mindfulness tools
• How to communicate your feelings without conflict and judgement
• Mindfulness and feeling present beyond meditation
• What mindfulness can look and feel like with ADHD

With ADHD, it can be difficult to regulate our big emotions and feel calm, with everyday triggers causing us to feel dysregulated. We can see this show up in young children, but it can be shameful and guilt-inducing when we're adults. This week’s guest is Dr Tamara Rosier, author of one of my favourite ADHD books, Your Brain's Not Broken.

Dr Tamara has been a college administrator, a professor, a leadership consultant, a high school teacher, a national public speaker, and an ADHD coach. Through those adventures, she has developed valuable insight into ADHD and how it affects one’s life. As founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, she helps individuals, parents, and families develop an understanding and learn practical skills to live with ADHD effectively. Her book Your Brain’s Not Broken provides strategies for navigating the powerful, significant emotional aspect of ADHD healthily. 

During this week's episode, we spoke about 

• Our big emotions, being embarrassed and the shame we have around our emotional regulation.
• How to regulate our overwhelming emotions
• Prefrontal cortex 'butler' - how it calms and helps with sequencing
• The limbic centre is our anger, frustration controller
• 'Living on the grid' - four quadrants, solve it grid
• Burnout from constantly being in the red zone
• Making intentional choices to help our health and stress management. Such as diary management, delegating our butler tasks and borrowing people’s butler (neurotypical) brains
• Learning not to cram and live fueled by adrenaline and cortisol
• The importance of prioritising deep cleansing sleep
• Sleep is so important for our health - ADHD symptoms are exacerbated when we don't sleep enough.
• Learning to relax and transition from a busy day to downtime and sleep.

Trusting our native intuition, learning about how our gut feelings show up, and harnessing and accessing more of it can be vital energy for those of us who are neurodivergent and often think only with our (busy!) minds.

Having such overactive brains means we can often detach from our bodies and gut or intuitive feelings and become burdened with self-doubt. By trusting in our deep intuition and inner wisdom, we can give our brains and overthinking some time out and go back within and learn to trust our body's signalling.

This week’s guest is Dr Robyn Mckay. An authority on spiritual intelligence, Robyn McKay is a top advisor to high EQ executives and leaders at Fortune 500 companies and elite-level performers in entrepreneurship, sports and entertainment.

Robyn is known as a “whole brain” coach and has a PhD in counselling psychology, where she studied diverse concepts ranging from spiritual intelligence and personal development to positive psychology and creativity. Her distinct range of tools that span from the spiritual to the scientific serves as the baseline for her unique approach to transformational leadership and innovation.

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Robyn spoke about:

• How to be an intuitive channel
• ADHD diagnosis later on in life
• Why ADHD and having a deep intuition are so closely connected
• Using our ADHD as a strength
• Accessing your intuition and guidance
• Connecting inwards and tapping into the bigger part of who we are
• Why neurodiverse people are good at making decisions quickly
• The intuitive skills neurodiverse people have & how to utilise them
• Using our ' creative flow' to channel

Acceptance and self-compassion play a huge part in processing our late-in-life ADHD diagnosis.

Piecing together the various components to which we have attributed shame and judgement and reframing that through an updated neurodivergent lens does take time, healing and patience. The 'after process' of an ADHD diagnosis can bring up lots of deep-rooted and painful emotions, which can take time to acknowledge and release.

On this week’s episode of the ADHD Womens Wellbeing Podcast, we have Dr Fiona Peters, a former BBC journalist who left to pursue a PhD at the University of London between two periods of maternity leave. Dr Peters has also published an academic book and is a speaker and trainer for schools. She is touring with her talk entitled 'Perfectionism and Anxiety'. She is also a consultant for diversity, equality, and inclusion in the workplace, specialising in ADHD.

Since being diagnosed with ADHD herself, Dr Peters is using her creativity, drive and ambition to create a new online community for entrepreneurs ADHDLIFE and to grow awareness of the impact of ADHD on business and personal life, both positive and negative.

On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Peters speak about:

• Why it's ok to not finish every project you start
• How having an understanding of ADHD frames your healing
• Why meditation and therapy might not be working for you
• Fiona's path to her Ph.D. and why she loved following a different path
• Trying a failing to fit in and doing it your way
• Self-worth, self-acceptance and
• Being an ADHD entrepreneur
• Being a work in progress

Perfectionism combined with ambition, control, over-achievement, restless energy, productivity-guilt and burnout are tendencies I see and hear about a lot in ADHD women. It can be exhausting living like this, and many of us struggle to break the cycle, which causes spates of burnout. However, when we create awareness around these behaviour patterns, which are often subconscious and unintentional, we can build better boundaries and gently remove the internal pressures we put on ourselves.

Today on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I speak to Michaela Thomas,  a Clinical Psychologist, coach, founder of the psychology practice The Thomas Connection and author of The Lasting Connection – develop love and compassion for yourself and your partner.

Michaela specialises in perfectionism combined with stress, anxiety, depression, productivity, procrastination, burnout and overall wellbeing.

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Michaela talked about the following:

• Burnout, ambition, overwhelm and not feeling good enough with neurodivergent women
• Productivity, procrastination and shame
• Perfectionism is a mask we use to hide
• Understanding the wiring of our neurodivergent brain
• The tools and strategies to help with hyperfocus and burnout
• Choosing different ways to live and what's important to us in different seasons
• Self-boundaries, self-compassion and seeing our limitations
• Softening a 'should' to a 'could, removing self-blame
• Being overwhelmed by all our ideas, pulling the reigns back
• Celebrating our impulsive energy and creative imagination
• Harnessing our energy with regular breaks and self-compassion
• Cycle breaking from previous generations
• The pressure we put on ourselves and using our intuition

I've always been a firm believer that once we're aware of our neurodivergence, we all need to be 'Tapping into our ADHD Gold'. I even created a workshop (check it out here) specifically about this, as I believe that when we reframe our strengths and stop focussing as much on all our challenges and what we can't do, the ADHD genius is given more space to expand!

And this is what we talk about in today’s episode with my guest, Kara Marni, a rising soul and R&B vocalist who has been on a steady ascension since 2019 when she headlined the Pussy Parlure stage at Glastonbury before embarking on a sold-out UK & European tour. In this period, the singer/writer has gone on to support many notable artists, from Lewis Capaldi to Rita Ora, Raye and Ray BLK to name a few, with a string of festivals and high-profile performances to her name, including Reading & Leeds and Glastonbury.

Kara is a family girl who grew up in a house of music (& food) lovers and credits her Greek ancestry for a confident personality, big appetite and big hair. Seldom short of something to say, Kara is a self-professed chatterbox, injecting her creativity and high energy into her lyricism. A self-taught guitarist, Kara recently partnered with supporters Fender as a part of their impressive roster.

On today's ADHD women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Kara speak about:

• Focusing the energy of ADHD children in school
• Finding the right educational environment for ADHD
• Kara's passion for music and perfroming
• The joy of channelling your hyper-focus positively
• Being creative over academic in the school system
• Being mindful without meditation
• Leaning into self-care to prevent burnout
• Knowing your energy and how to work with it

Connection and community... it's always better together, right?

This week's guests are brilliant Laura & Dawn from the ADHD AF Podcast. Laura and Dawn moved to the same street, at the same time, at the same age, with the same undiagnosed difference. On discovering the enormous impact that ADHD has had on their lives and the horrifying number of mis and undiagnosed ADHDers like them, they partnered up to use their voices to raise awareness, break the stigma, and to share their experiences in the hope of helping others.

We decided to join together this week for a special ADHD Awareness month 'podswap'. I was also on their brilliant podcast this week - listen here.

I was delighted to finally sit down and chat with Laura and Dawn from ADHD AF Podcast, and this is what we talked about:

• The "Too much" tour the ADHDAF ladies did this past summer
• Trusting the serendipity of your life
• Why Dawn and Laura are advocating for being "too much"
• Being truthful about what is too much for you to take on
• Dealing with S.A.D
• Comorbidities of ADHD
• Self-trust, self-doubt and ADHD
• Struggling to have a "regular" job because of ADHD symptoms
• Working authentically and listening to our intuition
• The power of the ADHD community

Before attending Harvard, Simran was a struggling student, failing school. She barely graduated high school and was put on academic probation during undergrad. When she was 19, she was diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder in reading, writing, math, and ADHD. After this significant life change, she understood how her brain worked and got her needed support to turn her life around.

Since then, she has been working on a series of neurodiversity awareness projects, such as creating her organization, "The Abstract Genius", speaking on podcasts and conferences and writing articles.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Simran speak about:

• Struggling in the educational system
• Having to work extra hard and still failing
• How ADHD affects sleep, noticing and working with your sleep patterns
• Medication personal choices
• Trusting our intuitive instincts
• The way Simran's diagnosis changed her educational experience
• Healing from past "failures" once you know it's ADHD
• How Simran's parents reacted to her diagnosis
• How Simran wants to transform education and learning techniques
• Making learning more neurodivergent friendly

It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a still-consulting doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation.

I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who is 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared - I had many epiphanies after each chapter.

After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain - she shares her dyslexia, learning and education journey - I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! This episode was recorded at 8 am Dr Gladys's time in Arizona and she was as fresh as a daisy, with all the recording tech in place.

During our conversation, Dr Gladys shares her story of having been held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how through her different way of learning and being curious, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. She is also the co-founder and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, and the founder of The International Academy of Clinical Hypnosis. She has spoken at TEDx.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Gladys discuss:

• How love improves all aspects of life
• What Gladys believes to be the true life force
• Being a pioneer of Holistic medicine
• Speaking out for what you believe in
• Accepting what you can't change
• Positive reinforcements in childhood
• The power of being accepted
• Gladys's experience of education while being undiagnosed dyslexic in a rural Indian village

When we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles.

We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail. Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!

Andrea is a former TV director from London who escaped to the Oxfordshire countryside with her family in 2013 for a better life. She ran a successful wedding video company with a team of six and produced nearly 300 weddings a year until Covid hit, and she was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to close the business. To support her mental wellbeing and give her something to focus on during this time, she poured her heart and soul into her garden, which eventually became her next venture, Dahlia Beach - a Plant Your Own Flower Garden based in Oxfordshire.

During this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode, I chat with the inspiring Andrea all about:

• Being a multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneur
• Seeing gaps in the market
• Owning our failures, why we shouldn't be afraid to fail and accepting the mistakes we make
• Following our dreams with ADHD and harnessing our ADHD traits
• Being a maverick and staying true to our convictions
• Using hyper-focus to flourish and being brave in our choices
• Perimenopause, HRT and ADHD
• Admin breakdowns in business and finding people to help fill the gaps
• Creating an ADHD-friendly business

As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years.

We discuss this with guest, Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realised she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy and money.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:

• Sadness after her ADHD diagnosis
• ADHD overworking and overwhelm
• Signs that your work is weighing too heavy
• Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them
• Deciding how you want your work to make you feel
• Amanda's own journey in business being undiagnosed ADHD
• Creating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easier
• Having the courage to change and pivot in business
• Upper limiting ourselves as self-protection
• Putting our nervous system first
• Having autonomy over your own mental health
• Letting our fear have its say
• Creating an anti-hustle culture

Finding a fulfilling, sustainable and purposeful career after years of burnout, self-sabotage and confusion can be challenging. Yet with the awareness of our ADHD, tweaks to our working conditions, more clarity and lots of passion, a joyful and successful career is more than possible.

This week's podcast guest is Shell Mendelson, who has helped hundreds of ADHD adults and young adults over the past 35 years find a fulfilling and sustainable career direction. Shell says that her work is synonymous with joy, and she will likely never "retire", and her aim is to make that possible for everyone. And with ADHD, we must make a choice that reflects that joyful experience for most of our work day.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Shell talk about:

• The difference between Life Mission and Life Purpose
• Using our body to make choices
• ADHD elements we need to make our working life enjoyable
• Why career enjoyment is so crucial for ADHD
• Knowing what you want and need to make you successful in your career
• Creating ADHD-friendly conditions and cultures
• Owning what we need
• How your ADHD brain engages with work
• Why career dreams and purpose matter

Do you feel your nervous system is constantly heightened and dysregulated? Perhaps the feeling of hypervigilance, anxiety and not being able to settle? This is a prevalent theme I hear from many of us with ADHD - myself included.

In this week’s episode, I chat with Lisa Ryan, an experienced trauma-informed physiotherapist and somatic therapy practitioner. Lisa supports individuals (many with ADHD) who experience persistent (chronic) pain and health issues such as fibromyalgia, long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), unexplained physical symptoms, burnout, tension headaches/migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and many more. Lisa’s mission is simple - to help people find freedom from pain and troublesome symptoms, live well and thrive.

During today's episode, Lisa and I talk about:

• ADHD masking and its impact on the nervous system
• Creating more safety in our body
• How to move trauma through your body
• How our busy society and little downtime contribute to a heightened nervous system
• Why chronic pain, CFS and fibromyalgia is connected to high levels of stress and trauma in our nervous system
• Incorporating fun movement, nature, grounding and joy to settle and nurture the nervous system
• Self-holding, self-soothing and using different parts of our body to calm and regulate
• The basic needs of the nervous system and how to meet them
• ADHD and Hypervigilance

ADHD and alcohol addiction...

This week’s guest is Faye Lawrence. Faye founded Untoxicated, Australia’s largest alcohol-free social community with around 10,000 members. Having been a heavy but high-functioning drinker since her teens, she wound up in inpatient detox in late 2017 after the wheels fell off. Determined not to let her sobriety ruin her social life, Untoxicated was born. Faye was recently diagnosed with ADHD (combined type) at the ripe old age of 48, and is passionate about creating awareness about the strong link between ADHD and alcohol dependence, hoping it might help reduce similar pitfalls for other women.

Faye is a TEDx speaker, co-author, has been featured widely across media and advocates to normalise living alcohol-free and reduce the stigma around addiction.

During this episode, Kate and Faye discuss:

• ADHD and addiction connections
• Struggling with Alcohol use
• Family addiction patterns
• Family compassion with the understanding of neurodiversity
• ADHD screening in treatment centres
• Social anxiety and drinking
• The clarity post ADHD diagnosis
• Why ADHD can make you more susceptible to addiction
• Socialising post recovery
• How Faye is finding ADHD medication

Welcome back to a new series of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast.

In this intro solo episode before the official start of the series on Thursday, I wanted to share my insights from taking some time out.

With ADHD, we can find it difficult to stop, slow down, pause, rest and breathe.

Very often, we only stop when an external factor stops us. Maybe that’s an injury, illness, ill family member, work crisis or even a pandemic!

Our ADHD nervous system has been fine-tuned to keep running on high alert, despite feeling fraught and exhausted most of the time.

But with awareness of ADHD comes power. Power to prevent. Power to see what we haven’t been able to understand before. Burnout cycles we thought were because we couldn’t keep up. Always more to do, be, produce, create and show. Never enough. Never on top of things. I must keep doing more. And then what? We break down, we collapse and we burn out and we’re no good to anyone. And then the cycle of shame happens.

I took a break and for the first time, I didn’t feel guilty. I knew I deserved this break. I was worthy of relaxing and restoring. I knew that this was in the best interest of everyone around me, including my clients, family and friends. It was needed and it was wonderful. I felt rejuvenated and re-energised—no guilt or fear of judgement.

In this solo episode (guest episode returning on Thursday) I talk about how to find a break if you can’t escape for a few days. I call them micro pauses that we can all do and become more intentional about every day. I am actively retraining myself to find more time to breathe, pause and recalibrate every day so I can show up for my family and my work - both of which are hugely important to me. Not only this, but also for my mental health, mood regulation, anxiety, nervous system and physical health (my back). I’m finally ready to prioritise this and invite you to do the same.

I also talk about ADHD, women's health and hormones and will be talking about this more in the next few months. Watch this space for a new project that I'm working on.
