My book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is OUT!You're not alone in sensing the overwhelming pressures women face today, especially those of us navigating the complexities of ADHD and perimenopause. In today's episode, both Adele Wimsett and I are feeling the weight of societal expectations and the exhaustion that comes with trying to balance it all. To celebrate the release of my new book, today's episode features a powerful discussion with my friend Adele Wimsett, exploring why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. While the feminist movement opened important doors, it also encouraged many of us to succeed within systems built by and for men. Systems which are shaped by patriarchal values that don't consider the cyclical nature of women's bodies. The pressure to constantly do, achieve, and keep up has left many of us burnt out, especially those navigating ADHD and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause.Adele is a Women's Hormone Health Practitioner who specialises in the powerful link between ADHD and hormonal health. Adele has dedicated her work to helping women and girls reconnect with their cycles and honour their rhythms, blending science with holistic tools to support women from menarche to menopause.What You'll Learn: The impact of societal pressures on women leading to deep exhaustion and overwhelm.The impact of the feminist movement, the shift to more masculine characteristics and the pressure to ignore our cyclical nature.How historic patriarchal structures have evolved into the modern exhaustion we see today in women. The lack of support in modern work structures for women's health, especially during hormonal changes like perimenopause. Capitalism's reliance on women's insecurities and how to break free to find your inner calm.Progesterone's role in calming our nervous system, the treatments available and natural ways to support it.The role of stress management and caring for your adrenals to support wellbeing.Understanding what fulfils you, and what can be stripped back to find clarity.How to set compassionate boundaries, protect your energy, and gently prevent burnout.Timestamps:02:14 - Why You're Feeling the Weight of the World's Expectations15:31 - Acknowledging the Female Mental Load of Family Life and Work20:17 - Navigating the Challenges of Perimenopause27:29 - Exploring Hormonal Health Solutions 35:05 - Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Energy in PerimenopauseLinks and Resources:Join the Waitlist for my new ADHD community-first membership launching in September!

ADHD Women: The High Cost of Being a “Pleasant Child” In this vulnerable episode, I open up about something I've only recently started to fully unpack: how my colicky infancy may have been the beginning of my lifelong masking as a woman with ADHD. What happens when the only way we feel loved is by being quiet, easy, and accommodating? We'll talk about early emotional abandonment, attachment patterns, and the cost of becoming "the good girl." I also dive into why so many ADHD women disconnect from their bodies, needs, and authentic self—and what we can do to begin reclaiming who we truly are. If you've ever felt drained by over-functioning, perfectionism, or trying to be palatable to others, this episode will hit home.   —⏱️—CHAPTERS—⏱️— 00:00 Introduction: Unpacking Masking and ADHD 00:46 Early Childhood and Masking Origins 01:10 Welcome to the Podcast 01:52 Personal Stories and Family Dynamics 03:40 The Impact of Early Experiences 06:34 ADHD and Societal Expectations 09:20 Navigating Adulthood with ADHD 15:25 Reclaiming Authenticity and Self-Love 28:04 Introducing the Journal Book Experience 31:21 Final Thoughts and Encouragement

Healing ADHD Burnout by Reclaiming Your Feminine Power (with Eleonore de Posson) If you've ever found yourself teetering on the edge of burnout—over-functioning, disconnected from your body, and stuck in “fix it” mode—this episode is your permission slip to pause. This week, I'm re-airing one of the most powerful conversations I've had on the podcast, with spiritual teacher and author Eleonore de Posson. And I'm doing it for a reason: I've been living in burnout recovery myself. After months of falling into hustle patterns and misaligned doing, I chose to stop. To soften. And to return to the feminine. What supported me most? Eleonore's 21-Day Sacred Feminine Reset—an offering I had purchased last year but wasn't ready to receive until now. Her work, her presence, and this conversation are part of the medicine I needed—and I want to share that with you. In this episode, we explore: Why ADHD women often operate from wounded masculine energy How feminine energy helps heal burnout, regulate your nervous system, and restore clarity The six gifts of feminine sovereignty (and how to actually embody them) The difference between divine and wounded masculine and feminine energy What ancient spiritual traditions—from Mary Magdalene to Traditional Chinese Medicine—can teach us about healing and reclaiming power How structure, flow, intuition, and groundedness all work together for ADHD women Even though this episode originally centered on entrepreneurship, the wisdom here is for all ambitious ADHD women—especially those navigating burnout, emotional overwhelm, or spiritual disconnection. ✨ If you're ready to experience the same feminine reset that supported me, check out Eleonore's 21-Day Sacred Feminine Reset here. https://www.eleonoredeposson.com/21daysfr   ✨ If you found this episode helpful… Please follow, subscribe, and share it with another ADHD woman who needs support!

But what if there's a way to interrupt that pattern without judgment, without spiraling, and without trying to “fix” yourself?Vanessa Gorelkin is a licensed therapist, executive coach, and returning favorite on the podcast. With 30 years of experience across clinical care and executive leadership, she specializes in helping ADHD women find clarity, stability, and actual tools that work. In this episode, she introduces us to Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful framework that helps us make sense of our emotional chaos by getting curious instead of self-critical.Tracy and Vanessa dive into the difference between the “manager” and “firefighter” parts of our brain, how IFS can reframe emotional dysregulation, and why so many high-achieving women with ADHD still feel like they're “too much.” They also talk about the surprising way shame shows up in our daily lives, and how compassion is more than just self-care; it's a powerful strategy for long-term emotional regulation.Vanessa also shares how IFS creates space for your inner world to feel less chaotic, less punishing, and more connected. You'll learn how identifying and working with your internal parts can build self-awareness, reduce reactive patterns, and unlock a deeper sense of agency.Whether you're new to IFS or already deep into parts work, this episode offers real, relatable guidance for anyone looking to create more emotional balance and self-trust.Resources:Website: https://vanessagorelkin.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsvanessagorelkin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessacahngorelkin1 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

Nikki Daye, a school psychologist and ADHD advocate, grew up in the foster care system. She was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, but her medical records were eventually lost. As she got older, her ADHD diagnosis wasn't considered. Instead, her symptoms were misdiagnosed as anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. While her ADHD diagnosis was “lost in translation,” Nikki spent a lot of time feeling misunderstood and unsupported. It wasn't until adulthood that she finally got the clarity she needed. Now, she's using her experience to advocate for kids with ADHD, including her own daughter.Related resources6 ways ADHD and PTSD can look alikeADHD and traumaTimestamps(01:18) Nikki's first ADHD diagnosis as a teenager(03:30) Nikki's experience with echolalia (05:27) ADHD treatment, speculating other diagnoses, and medical records being lost while in foster care(09:11) “Aging out” of her ADHD diagnosis, and coming back to it(15:08) Nikki's intersectional “aha” moments (20:33) Nikki's work helping kids like her, and her daughterFor a transcript and more resources, visit the ADHD Aha! show page on Understood.org. We love hearing from our listeners!
