This week's guest is Thomas Midgley , a behavioural and cognitive psychotherapist (CBT) and dietitian specialising in eating disorders. Having worked in the field for more than 18 years, Thomas has a deep understanding of the delicate balance between body image, emotional health and the challenges neurodivergent people face when it comes to disordered eating.

Unlocking Your ADHD: Strategies for Effortless Productivity
Traditional productivity metrics often do not apply to those with ADHD. We need to advocate for a redefinition of success that aligns with our personal strengths and unique workflows. From leveraging technology to simplifying organization to embracing alternative productivity methods, this episode shares practical strategies you can incorporate into your daily lives. This week, I speak to Skye Waterson , a former adult education, psychology, sociology, and public health academic who is now the founder of the Unconventional Organisation. Skye was diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her doctorate. Since then, she has researched and disseminated ADHD studies, focusing on supporting others with strengths-based, neurodiverse-friendly tools and systems. Skye Waterson's journey from academia to entrepreneurship is a testament to the power of understanding our neurodiversity. Diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, Skye faced the daunting task of reconciling her academic ambitions with the realities of her ADHD, leading her to develop a coaching business dedicated to helping others navigate similar challenges. The episode dives deep into the intricacies of ADHD, particularly how it manifests differently in women and how societal expectations can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. Skye emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive environment where women can thrive by utilizing tools that cater to their neurodiverse brains. The conversation underscores the need for greater awareness and acceptance of ADHD, particularly in professional settings, as well as the potential for neurodivergent individuals to excel when given the right tools and support.

Understanding our unique ADHD brains can empower us to embrace different productivity methods. The importance of creating effortlessly balanced days where productivity feels natural and fluid.

Despite the challenges, we can focus on what we're proud of, which lift us up. As parents, we can create more internal strength and greatness—life can be easier than we believe.

Summer Surrendering and Healing: Solo Episode
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.

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.

Dyslexia and ADHD - The ALMIGHTY Connection!
Check out all of Kate's online ADHD on-demand resources here. 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 Get access to Natalie's free download: Decode Dyslexia at Work here >> https://dyslexiainadults.myflodesk.com/bwxf930nns Look at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.

What you Need Know About the ADHD Gut-Brain Connection
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.

How to Live a Well Lived Life with Dr Gladys McGarey
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.

The Spiritual Technology and Wisdom to Transform Lives
Today, I'm sharing a very personal passion and deeply spiritual interest of mine, Kabbalah. 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 How to let go of heavy energy such as guilt and shame Tackling our limiting belief systems about your life Understanding our different life challenges to help us transform, repair and grow You can find out more about David on his Instagram, @ davidghiyam .

Learn more about Kate's 'Summer Live ADHD Ask-Me-Anything Programme' here . 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 Connect with Rosie, her coaching work and podcast here Look at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.

Practicing Low-Demand Parenting with ADHD
Before starting today's episode, why not check out Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here? 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 Look at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.

Embracing a more integrated, holistic and spiritual approach to ADHD
An integrative and more holistic healthcare approach is something you hear me talking about a lot on the Podcast. 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 You can find out more about Gemma on her website, gemmanewman.com .

The Powerful Connection Between Migraines and ADHD
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 Find out more about Diane and her work on her website www.mynectarhealth.com Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.

Talking to your family after an ADHD diagnosis
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.

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.

The power of hope after an ADHD diagnosis with Gail Muller
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.

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 Hopeful attitude switch Gail's ADHD diagnosis validation and understanding Gail's post-diagnosis crash Generational healing and processing after a diagnosis Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.

Harnessing our ADHD Intuition and Inner Wisdom
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 Sign up for Kate's new ADHD Energy and Mindset Reprogramme waitlist here.

Processing and Healing After a Late-in-Life ADHD Diagnosis
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 You can connect with Dr Peters on social media via Instagram or LinkedIn .

Breaking ADHD Perfectionism and Burnout Cycles
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 Try Get Dopa here with a 10% discount: https://bit.ly/adhdwomenswellbeing10 Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) women find more calm, balance, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

ADHD Loud and Proud with Kara Marni
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 Choosing to be sober with ADHD You can find out more about Kara on Instagram, @karamarni Try Get Dopa here with 10% discount: https://bit.ly/adhdwomenswellbeing10 Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) women find more calm, balance, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

Wisdom from a 102-year-old neurodivergent doctor
**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk** 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 If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective , where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Big Picture ADHD Thinking: plant the seed and watch it grow
**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk** 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 **All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk** If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective , where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Building the ADHD foundations for our life and careers
** All details of how to sign up for my brand-new, groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series are now on my website ** 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 All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk You can connect with Amanda on her website, amandaperry.co.uk and on Instagram, @amandaperry .

My ADHD insights on prioritising time out, rest and our hormones for better mental wellbeing
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.

Activating the cerebellum to increase our mental capacity

Using our ADHD diagnosis as a force for social and medical reform
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 based in Manchester and who was recently 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 How to approach medication for your situation Cultural views of neurodiversity How ADHD Medication works in your system Tips to help feel better while taking medication Subtle ways our ADHD symptoms creep up Accommodations we can choose to help ourselves Priyanka's work to improve NHS GPs' knowledge of ADHD symptoms in women Increasing awareness and screening of ADHD in GPs To join Kate's Live ADHD EFT/Tapping Session - Releasing Indecision, Procrastination and Self-Doubt on Friday, November 18th, click here If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you get access to monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Making life work for you after an ADHD diagnosis
"Don't try to fit into the world; make the world fit into you." This week’s guest is Sarah Templeton, author of the hit book ‘How NOT to Murder Your ADHD Kid – Instead Learn to be Your Child’s Own ADHD Coach’ released in 2021. She realised the key to stopping ADHD adolescents from becoming homeless, unemployed, on drugs and in prison was to educate the parents. If parents could recognise their kids getting into these sorts of issues very early on and change their child’s life path by pursuing an early diagnosis, medication and managing their ADHD properly from the start, the result would mean the prisons, homeless hostels and rehabs would NOT be packed to the rafters with ADHD. Sarah is a vocal advocate for change and believes The ADHD Act is long overdue. She is on the APPG for ADHD at the Houses of Parliament and has vowed to be the voice for the tens of thousands of young offenders and adult offenders with undiagnosed ADHD – who cannot get their voices heard within the prison system. Yet without the correct ADHD diagnosis and medication, their life is destined to be one spent persistently in and out of prison. During this episode, Kate and Sarah speak about: ADHD within the prison system Harnessing ADHD to re-focus your life Why you may not recognize your amazing skills and abilities with ADHD Women coping with an ADHD diagnosis The relief after getting a diagnosis The price of ignoring our ADHD Criticism and the impact that has on us historically Leaning into our strengths and listening to the positives Making the world work for you The pressure on un-diagnosed ADHD women to cope Using your dopamine-seeking ADHD brain for good Sarah's plans for the ADHD Act in the prison system and police You can connect with Sarah via her websites www.sarahtempleton.org.uk and www.headstuffadhdtherapy.co.uk .

Re-framing ADHD and taking a more strength-based approach. In this first solo episode back, Kate shares a snippet from one of her online workshops. This particular workshop focused on Kate's week-long course with Dr Ned Hallowell, a renowned author and psychiatris t specialising in ADHD.

She also talks about our curiosity, imagination, desire for authentic collaborations and connection, as well as our need to seek true fulfilment. Kate also talks about the positive re-frames that Dr Hallowell encourages us to take, so we can live a life that puts our ADHD strengths in the spotlight.

Advocating for your neurodiversity in the workplace
"Embracing and working with our strengths teaches us to thrive with ADHD." Speaking about an autism or ADHD diagnosis within the workplace can feel daunting, exposing and scary. However, when we advocate for ourselves within our work setting, we are enabling the support, care and accommodations we deserve. Working with - and no longer - against our brains means we can excel more in our careers without the burnout and exhaustion that typically comes with neurodiversity. Often the way we work can look different to others, but that doesn't mean it's less effective. The more we talk about this and allow different options to be implemented, the healthier, happier and more productive we feel within our work environment. This week’s guest, Samantha Hiew is the Director of ADHD Girls , a company founded with a social mission to empower girls and women with ADHD through effective advocacy, education and specialists’ insights. With a background in healthcare communications and a PhD in Cancer Research, Samantha is passionate about helping individuals with ADHD access employment and training organisations to provide the support they need to thrive in their circumstances, thereby increasing happiness and wellbeing and improving productivity.

Rediscovering yourself after years of medication
"Find something you're passionate about...and you're going to do it really well." This week’s episode is with Audrey Stimpson, an internationally published master photographer by trade who has now made it her sole mission to share her story of Adderall addiction and how she freed herself after 23 years. Memphis-based Audrey, trained as a fashion photographer, working in the elite fashion and modelling industry of NYC for 8 years. She had the privilege of shooting for top brands and major publications like Vogue, Elle, Forbes, and Robb Report to name a few. In 2018, she co-founded Madison and Melrose, an A-Z digital marketing/branding company that specializes in content creation. She has a growing platform of over 23k followers, the majority based in NYC and the MidSouth. Audrey had been prescribed Adderall to treat her ADHD since the age of seven, the same year the drug first entered the market, making her one of the longest case studies. For a while, Adderall made her feel invincible. From the photoshoot straight to the after-party, Audrey was using Adderall to slay! But, after 23 years of use, the amphetamine had taken its toll, leading to psychosis, gut health issues, body dysmorphia, Addorexia, and a never-ending cycle of shame. Now trained as a functional medicine coach, she helps others on their Adderall-free journey and writing the guidebook that she wished she’d had. She is developing an ADHD nutrition coaching program, and she recently launched a blog dedicated to helping those directly affected by Adderall addiction. She is also addressing real fears in real-time on TikTok, the preferred social media for those with ADHD, reaching upwards of 80,000 people per post. Kate and Audrey talked about: Being medication-free after 23 years of being on ADHD meds How she came off the meds and being scared of operating without them Her training as a Functional Nutrition Coach to help with ADHD Using EMDR therapy for addiction Overcoming her dependency on medication Gut healing and autoimmune issues alongside ADHD The power of our diet and lifestyle to help with ADHD Her book, How-To-Thrive-Off-Adderall guidebook, Accidental ADDict. Connect with Audrey via Instagram or on her website Audreystimpson.com , where you can also sign up for her FREE video guide on how to become Adderall free using EMDR Therapy.
