ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast

PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK, THE ADHD WOMEN'S WELLBEING TOOLKIT HERE!

✨ BIG NEWS! ✨ I’ve written a book, and you’re the first to hear about it!

The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit has been in the making for a long time, and I’m so excited to share it with you, FINALLY! After working with and speaking to so many women with ADHD, through coaching, the podcast, this community and my own journey, I knew there was a need for a resource that goes beyond just managing ADHD.

I wanted to create something that helps women truly thrive and live authentic and good lives with ADHD rather than just cope with it. The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit book brings together everything I’ve learned from practical tools, mindset shifts, and holistic wellbeing strategies to help you embrace your unique brain, reduce overwhelm, and live with more confidence and ease.

ADHD affects and impacts every part of life, from emotions, relationships, and careers to health, self-trust, hormones, and everyday routines. I know how frustrating it can be when the typical advice doesn’t work for you, which is why this toolkit is all about finding what does. It’s a guide to understanding yourself, building supportive habits, and creating a life that aligns with your needs rather than forcing yourself into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Key Takeaways:

💡 How The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit is designed to help women shift from just managing ADHD to thriving with it.

💡 How the book offers practical strategies to reduce overwhelm, boost self-trust, and create an ADHD-friendly lifestyle.

💡 Tools included in the book for emotional wellbeing, self-compassion, and breaking free from burnout.

💡 Emphasising the role of self-acceptance and understanding your neurobiology helps reframe ADHD as a strength rather than a limitation.

💡 How my journey writing this book was filled with challenges and lessons in self-trust, community, and asking for help.

💡 How pre-ordering The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit will help to ensure it reaches local bookshops and gets into the hands of the women who need it most.

Progesterone is a hormone that isn't discussed enough, and when it is, it's usually with negative connotations of intolerance.

It's essential we learn more about how hormonal shifts impact our ADHD, especially during perimenopause. This week, I’m joined by Adele Wimsett, a Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner, to explore the powerful link between ADHD and hormone fluctuations—and why understanding the role of progesterone is key to feeling more rested, calmer and less anxious.

Adele has dedicated her career to educating women and girls on harnessing the power of their cyclical nature. As a specialist in ADHD and hormonal health, she blends science and holistic approaches to help women navigate everything from menarche to menopause with more balance and ease.

We discuss a fascinating qualitative study that Adele conducted, where she tracked hormone levels and ADHD symptoms in a group of perimenopausal women. We discuss the often-overlooked role of progesterone and how its decline during perimenopause can lead to intensified ADHD symptoms including anxiety, overwhelm, poor sleep and low mood.

In this episode, Adele also shares her groundbreaking research, tracking hormone levels and ADHD symptoms in perimenopausal women, uncovering how declining progesterone, estrogen dominance, and hormonal imbalances can intensify ADHD traits.

If you’ve felt like your ADHD symptoms have worsened during perimenopause or struggled to get the proper hormonal support, this episode offers you insights, education, and empowering solutions to help you reclaim your ADHD wellbeing.

This episode is a call to action for you to advocate for your health, understand your body better, and seek out resources to help you manage your unique symptoms. The conversation also touches on the societal stigma surrounding women's health issues and the urgent need for a shift in how medical professionals approach hormonal health in women, particularly those who are neurodivergent.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ How hormonal changes in perimenopause can impact ADHD symptoms

✨ Why progesterone plays a crucial role in ADHD hormone health, mood regulation and emotional stability

✨ The connection between estrogen dominance and ADHD symptoms in women

✨ Why histamine flare-ups are common in ADHD perimenopause

✨ Why so many women struggle to get appropriate hormonal health support

✨ The urgent need for more research into the intersection of ADHD and women’s health

✨ How finding the right hormonal balance can help women regain better energy, clarity, and confidence

✨ How to support our adrenals, stress levels and hormone health

On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing 'Wisdom' episode, we revisit a clip from the incredible episode with Dr Tamara Rosier, the author of one of my favourite ADHD books, Your Brain's Not Broken.

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, Dr Rosier 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 big emotional aspect of ADHD healthily. 

Tamara shares her experiences as a parent and ADHD coach, highlighting that emotional regulation isn’t just about anger; it’s about navigating the intense feelings that can arise in various situations.

✨ Practical strategies to regulate overwhelming emotions.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I have ADHD, autism, OCD… or all three?” this episode is for you! Together with Dr Asad Raffi, we unpack the nuances of neurodivergent traits and why individualised, informed assessments matter—especially when outdated diagnostic systems like the DSM-5 and ICD-11 can make the process even more confusing.

In this clip, you'll learn about:

✨ The challenges of distinguishing between these conditions.

✨ The high rates of comorbidity and how overlapping traits can make diagnosis tricky.

✨ The difference between hyperfocus vs. hyperfixation and why these traits often blur the lines between conditions.

If you have suffered from ongoing pain, hormonal issues, fatigue or immune system challenges for most of your life alongside your long undiagnosed ADHD, today's FASCINATING episode is a MUST listen with leading Consultant Psychiatrist Dr James Kustow.

Kate and Dr. James Kustow, highly regarded expert in adult ADHD, explore the fascinating connection between ADHD, hypermobility, and many different physical health conditions.

Dr. Kustow sheds light on how ADHD is more than a neurodevelopmental condition, often accompanied by physical symptoms like chronic pain and immune dysfunction.

Dr Kustow is also a member of UKAAN's Executive Board (UKAAN is the main professional organisation for Adult ADHD in the UK). He is UKAAN’s Director of Education and was instrumental in developing the national training programme for psychiatrists.

He is the author of a new bestselling book on adult ADHD, ‘How to Thrive with Adult ADHD – 7 Pillars for Focus, productivity and Balance’, published by Penguin in October 2024.

He is a recognised national and international speaker on adult ADHD, and the winner of the ‘Genius Award’ at the 2021 Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards (run by the social enterprise group, Genius Within) for the ground-breaking ‘Lifeskills’ adult ADHD group programme he established in the NHS about 5 years ago.

During this ground-breaking episode, Dr. Kustow introduces us to his innovative approach to mental health care, which integrates traditional psychiatric methods with body-oriented therapies. He underscores the importance of treating the brain and the entire body, advocating for lifestyle changes encompassing nutrition, exercise, and emotional regulation techniques. By drawing attention to the role of inflammation and the autonomic nervous system in mental health, he challenges conventional notions about ADHD, urging a more inclusive understanding that recognises the complexity of these disorders.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ The link between ADHD and hypermobility affects nearly 50% of individuals with ADHD and often manifests as a cluster of symptoms.

✨ How hormonal fluctuations and misdiagnoses uniquely impact women with ADHD

✨ Chronic inflammation may play a significant role in ADHD and related conditions

✨ Why a holistic approach, including lifestyle changes and self-care, is vital for managing symptoms

✨ Insights from Dr. Kustow’s 3S model, which connects physical and mental health for better well-being

Disordered eating is sadly a common co-occurring symptom of ADHD. Many of us have gone through decades of not understanding why we have battled with these challenges, and then after we receive a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, we're able to understand why it presented itself. This is a powerful conversation that focuses on how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.

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.

Kate and Thomas spoke about:

• Disordered eating vs eating disorders: why these important distinctions matter – especially for anyone with ADHD or autism.
• Emotional regulation in recovery: how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.
• Compassionate therapy: how DBT and compassion-focused therapy support emotional wellbeing and recovery.
• Parenting and emotional resilience: how parents can balance validation and resilience when raising neurodivergent children.
• Neurodivergence and eating disorders: the connection between ADHD and autism and the increased risk of eating disorders.
• Compassion in treatment: How compassionate, non-judgmental therapy helps us understand and manage our emotions effectively.

Timestamps:

• The difference between disordered eating and eating disorders (2:08)
• Neurodivergence and eating disorders (4:51)
• The importance of Emotional Regulation in understanding and treating eating disorders (7:12)
• Balancing validation and building resilience in parenting (22:59)
• The Role of Compassion in treatment (30:14)

This week’s episode with movement and embodiment expert Manuela Mitevova focuses on the power of somatic movement in releasing emotions and healing trauma – particularly in women with ADHD. 

Manuela teaches people to release trauma and rid themselves of mystery pains and unprocessed emotions in the process. 

In this deep conversation, Manuela shares her journey to discovering the profound impact of gentle movement on emotional wellbeing.

Togetheron the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we talk about:

• Somatic movement for emotional release: how gentle movements such as neck rolls and pelvic tilts can release stored trauma.
• Polyvagal theory: understanding the body's survival response, and how core, back and pelvic muscles help with emotional regulation.
• Practical movement tips: how simple movements such as neck rolls and pelvic tilts can release tension in the body. 
• Emotional dysregulation and perfectionism: how somatic movement helps to manage emotions, particularly in ADHD women.
• Children and emotions: how encouraging children to express their emotions through movement prevents long-term emotional issues.

I loved this empowering chat with Manuela and loved her recommendation to start gently and listen to your body compassionately – without the pressure of perfectionism.

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.

During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we talk about:

• Skye Waterson discusses her journey of discovering ADHD during her PhD, highlighting the challenges she faced.
• 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.
• Self-belief can be a significant barrier for ADHD individuals when pursuing new projects.
• Using tools like AI can simplify executive functioning, helping to manage ADHD tasks effectively.
• Recognizing past achievements helps build confidence for future endeavours and goal-setting.

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
• Prioritising prevention of mental breakdown and burnout in big corporates
• Creating new cultures to support diversity inclusion in the workplace
• Opening up and talking about mental health and neurodivergent late diagnoses
• Self-awareness of our energy and nervous system capacity to help our mental health

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.

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. To discover more about his transformative work and offerings, visit drmiguelmateas.com or connect with him through social media for further insights.

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
• Calming the ADHD nervous system using tapping
• Releasing trauma using tapping
• Using EFT to aid your healing inner child work
• How EFT can help your relationships

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.

This week's guest is Ashok Gupta, who has dedicated his life and career to supporting people through chronic illness and trauma and helping them achieve their potential.

He then set up a clinic to treat others and published the well-known neuroplasticity “limbic retraining” recovery program and app known as the Gupta Program in 2007.

He has published several medical papers, including randomized controlled trials on Long Covid, ME/CFS, and fibromyalgia, showing that the treatment is effective, and he is continually researching these conditions

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

• Ashok's Chronic Fatigue story and recovery
• Aspects of your surroundings that can affect chronic diseases
• The importance of calming the nervous system

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

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

• Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them

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

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
• How to approach medication for your situation

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
• Hopeful attitude switch
• Gail's ADHD diagnosis validation and understanding
• 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

You can learn more about Lotta's work via her website, www.borgskoglund.com and Letterlife.

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 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.
