    "AuDHD women carry so much shame" ft. Katie Andrews

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 18, 2026 32:15


    This week's episode is a powerful, honest conversation about what really happens after a diagnosis… when the relief settles and the deeper work begins.Katie and I unpack why diagnosis matters so much for neurodivergent women, and how understanding your brain can be the first step toward rebuilding self-trust instead of staying trapped in cycles of shame.We talk about late discovery, unmasking, people-pleasing, and the emotional weight many carry after years of feeling “too much” or not enough.We also dive into the damage caused by discipline culture, consistency myths, and the pressure to perform like a neurotypical brain. If you've ever wondered why self-acceptance still feels hard even after you understand your ADHD or autism, this conversation will hit home.This episode is for you if you're navigating a diagnosis, healing from burnout, or learning to meet yourself with more compassion instead of criticism.Where to find Katie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurodivergent_therapist_uk/Website: https://www.neurodivergenttherapyspace.com

    This week, I'm joined by the brilliant Katie Burns for an honest and deeply validating conversation about self-worth, unmasking, and rebuilding your mindset after a late ADHD diagnosis.Katie shares what really happens after you finally get your diagnosis, when the relief fades and you're left with decades of burnout, people-pleasing, and feeling like you were never quite good enough. We talk about where those beliefs come from, how discipline culture and consistency myths hurt neurodivergent women, and why so many of us keep burning ourselves out trying to prove we're worthy.If you've ever felt like you should be doing more, been stuck in a shame cycle, or wondered why you still struggle with confidence even after understanding your ADHD, this episode is for you.Where to find Katie:https://www.instagram.com/coachkatieburns/♾️ Enquire for 1:1 Fitness & Weight Loss Coaching With Myself : https://yxk1v305k46.typeform.com/to/SfP94ewQ

    How Undiagnosed ADHD Fuels Addiction, Binge Eating, and Burnout ft. Lou Woods

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 29, 2026 42:39


    This week, Lou Woods joins the conversation for a raw and reflective discussion about life before and after a late ADHD diagnosis. She speaks openly about years of struggling to cope, including her past experiences with drugs and alcohol, and how these were often attempts to manage an overstimulated, overwhelmed brain that didn't yet understand itself.Lou shares how receiving her diagnosis shifted everything — not by “fixing” her, but by helping her make sense of her past, release shame, and build a life that actually works with her neurodivergent brain. Her story is a powerful reminder that what can look like self-destructive behaviour is often a form of survival, and that understanding yourself can be deeply healing.If you're late-diagnosed, questioning your relationship with coping behaviours, or simply trying to make sense of your own ADHD journey, this episode is for you.Where to find Lou:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itslouwoods/Free Support

    The Hidden Way Masking ADHD Is Sabotaging Your Success Ft Faye Ceyhan

    This week, I'm joined by the amazing Faye Ceyhan- founder of the Lost Bitches Club.Faye opens up about the messy, exhausting reality of trying to “do business the neurotypical way” as an ADHD woman. She shares how years of masking, overworking, and forcing herself into systems that weren't built for her ultimately led to burnout — even while she looked successful on the outside.This episode pulls back the curtain on why burnout isn't a personal failure, but a predictable result of trying to function in a world that wasn't designed for your brain. Faye's journey is a powerful reminder that thriving in business doesn't come from working harder, fitting in, or masking better — it comes from doing things your way and learning to unmask.If you're an ADHD or neurodivergent woman in business, feeling exhausted by keeping up appearances, or wondering how to build success without burning yourself out, this episode is for you.Where to find Faye: https://www.instagram.com/lostbitchesclub/
