Episode 246: Empowering Women with ADHD: Tools and Strategies for Better Wellbeing
In this bonus solo episode, Kate explores the often-overlooked challenges women face when living with undiagnosed or late-diagnosed ADHD.

Kate shares gentle, empowering guidance on building self-awareness, spotting patterns like RSD and people-pleasing, and understanding how ADHD shows up in the body, offering real-life strategies to support your wellbeing, one compassionate step at a time.
