This week on the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Paula Rastrick, EMDR therapist, psychological trauma specialist, and author. Together, we explore how hormonal sensitivity, trauma, and neurodivergence are deeply connected and how understanding this can help you better regulate your nervous system and emotional responses.

This week, I revisit a conversation with Professor Sandra Kooij, one of the world’s leading researchers in adult ADHD, women's health, and hormones and a pioneer in understanding how ADHD manifests differently in women. We discuss the powerful and often-overlooked link between hormones and ADHD symptoms, especially the role of oestrogen and dopamine throughout a woman’s life.

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.

Professor Kooij shares insights on the connection between ADHD, hormone fluctuations, cardiovascular health, and immune function.

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.

I've created this exclusive solo episode sharing my personal experience of navigating challenging hormones for most of my adult life and now being able to understand this better through the lens of my ADHD diagnosis.

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. In this week’s episode 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.
