ADHD in Women: The Nervous System Cost of Masking with Kate Moryoussef | Ep. 45

Listen in as Jay shares an insightful conversation with ADHD wellbeing coach Kate Moryoussef on how undiagnosed ADHD manifests in women's bodies and nervous systems. Discover how a late-in-life diagnosis can reframe a lifetime of "what's wrong with me?" into a compassionate understanding of how your brain and body actually work.

Kate Moryoussef is an ADHD wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who brings deep insight into late-diagnosed ADHD, nervous system regulation, and the hidden cost of masking in women.

In this episode, you'll hear:

► How undiagnosed ADHD in women often mimics fawning, chronic anxiety, burnout, or perimenopause

► Why "just calm down" is the wrong ask for an ADHD body—and how to aim for feeling "settled" instead

► How Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping) can help discharge stored tension and calm a hypervigilant nervous system

► Practical ways to set boundaries, build social exit plans, and protect your energy without shame or guilt
