If you've ever lost your patience with your child and then felt terrible about it, or wondered why what works for every other family just doesn't seem to work for yours, this ADHD parenting compilation episode is for you.

Today's episode is all about parenting in neurodiverse families and the real day-to-day of parenting neurodivergent children when you're often navigating your own ADHD at the same time.

A diagnosis doesn't give you a new brain. But it does turn the lights on, offer validation, and create a gateway to support and that changes everything.

Welcome to this week's More Yourself Monday episode. This week I'm sharing a conversation I had as a guest on The Hairy Chin Podcast, hosted by Spencer Moore, a patient advocate with over 30 years of experience navigating complex healthcare systems in the US and Spain.

If you've ever lost your patience with your child and then felt terrible about it, or wondered why what works for every other family just doesn't seem to work for yours, this ADHD parenting compilation episode is for you.

Today's episode is all about parenting in neurodiverse families and the real day-to-day of parenting neurodivergent children when you're often navigating your own ADHD at the same time.

Whether you've been with your partner for years or you're navigating dating after a late diagnosis, ADHD changes how we love, connect and show up in relationships, and this episode is entirely about that.

Welcome to this week's summer compilation episode. Rather than a single conversation, I've pulled together some of the most resonant clips from three different episodes on ADHD, love, intimacy and relationships, because I wanted to bring all of this into one place for you.

What if the conversation you needed to hear wasn't one I was leading, but one where I was being asked the questions for a change? This week I'm sharing a conversation I had as a guest on the Limited Time Only podcast, where we talked about my life before diagnosis, the shame that came with finally getting answers, and why decompression and downtime aren't luxuries, they're necessities.

If you've ever wondered why it took so long to get answers, for yourself or for your daughter, this episode is going to feel very familiar. I'm joined by Dr Olivia Kessel, a former medical doctor turned founder of the SEND Parenting community, who shares how she missed her own daughter's ADHD for years despite her medical background. We talk about why girls are still diagnosed so much later than boys, and what parents can do when navigating a system that wasn't built for their child.

On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Alexandra Orfanides, a London-based hypermobility specialist osteopath and founder of Hypermobility HQ.

If you've been told your pain is growing pains, anxiety or just something you need to live with, this episode might be the beginning of finally understanding what's actually been going on in your body.

This season brings a whirlwind of social engagements and activities that ramp up our energy and excitement. But for many of us, this relentless pace leads to overwhelm and burnout if we don't balance that activation with necessary moments of calm. In this episode, we delve into understanding our nervous systems and recognising when we're becoming overactivated.

In this episode, we talk about the difference between memories that are simply hard to retrieve under pressure and genuine working memory difficulties, why so many ADHD adults share a similar cognitive profile of strong intellectual ability alongside weaker working memory and attention, and why working memory cannot be trained like a muscle, no matter how many crosswords or brain games we try.

On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Sian Crossley, a London-trained psychotherapist, author and the founder of Break the Cycle Coaching.

Some of the deepest childhood wounds don't come from parents who shouted or hurt us. Sometimes they come from parents who simply never had the tools to truly see us.

On this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm sharing a workshop I ran inside the More Yourself membership, where we go a little deeper into topics like this together, alongside guest experts and ongoing connection with other neurodivergent women.

When we finally receive a diagnosis, it can feel like the missing piece. But for so many AuDHD women, it's only the beginning of a much longer journey — one that takes us back through everything we thought we knew about ourselves.

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Samantha Hiew, AuDHDer, scientist, and founder of ADHD Girls. Diagnosed with ADHD at 40, Sam has since received a working autism diagnosis after a seven-month struggle with clinicians who focused on developmental delays and trauma, rather than listening to her experiences.

How often do you feel completely exhausted all day, yet when you get yourself to bed early, your brain switches on, and you're unable to sleep?

You do everything you're told to: no screens, no caffeine, a cool dark room, yet your brain is still filled with thoughts, to-do lists and the things you said 5 years ago.

But the reality is, for ADHD brains, sleep isn't a habit problem... It's a neurological problem. And the standard advice around skeeo hygiene and behaviour was never built with us in mind.

Building a business with an ADHD brain can feel less like following a carefully laid plan and more like learning to work with ever-changing waves of energy, focus, and creativity. How do you create something sustainable for you, and what are the best foundations to start from?

Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay.

You are not bad with money. You just haven't had a system built for your brain.

How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?

For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.

Have you ever stood in your own kitchen, holding a perfectly ordinary object (like a wooden spoon), and completely frozen? Not because anything dramatic happened, but because your brain just couldn't work out what to do next.

In this week's episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I have something a little different for you! It’s called ADHD Aha!, by Understood.org, and shares real, relatable stories from people with ADHD, about how their symptoms impact their lives.

Have you spent years pushing through, overriding what your body is telling you, performing at full capacity, and wondering why you keep burning out?

For so many women with ADHD, the drive to do more, prove more, and be more is relentless. We have the passion, the ambition, the energy. But when that inner motor collides with a nervous system that desperately needs rest and renewal, something eventually gives way.

After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing.

In this clip from our first ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, Adele Wimsett, whose groundbreakingPerfect Storm study explores the intersection of perimenopause and ADHD, cuts through the noise with clarity, warmth and real practical insight.
