Have you ever looked at your life from the outside and thought, “Everything looks fine… so why don't I feel fine?” In this episode, I'm talking about the quiet, almost invisible shutdown many ADHD women experience when we're technically “getting things done,” but we've disconnected from our bodies in order to do it. Not burnout. Not a crisis. Just this low-grade numbness that sneaks in when survival mode becomes our norm. I share how I noticed this pattern in myself, the subtle signs so many of us overlook, why high-functioning ADHD often comes at a physical and emotional cost, and the small, compassionate shifts I'm making to come back into my life instead of just managing it. If you've been productive but not present… if you're checking boxes but not feeling anything while you do it… this episode is going to land deeply. ✨ Mentioned in the episode:  Eleonore de Posson, https://www.eleonoredeposson.com/   —CHAPTERS— 00:00 Introduction: Feeling Alive vs. Going Through the Motions 01:00 Recognizing the Signs of Disconnection 02:05 Personal Experiences and Realizations 05:51 Understanding ADHD and Dissociation 07:24 The Importance of Mindfulness and Presence 11:53 Strategies for Reconnecting with Your Body 19:12 The Role of the Nervous System 27:41 Practical Tips for Staying Present 36:58 Conclusion: Embracing Mindfulness in Daily Life   ✨ If you found this episode helpful… Please follow, subscribe, and share it with another ADHD woman who needs support!  

In this episode of More Yourself, I'm sharing a clip from a recent SEED Talk I presented back in July, focusing on how we can work with our uniquely wonderful ADHD brains, rather than against them. Understanding our ADHD brain is a key element of healing, but we don't have to face this as though it is something new. We have always been neurodivergent, but we may not have had the language or awareness to understand it before. The modern world asks us to constantly perform, engage in challenging environments and overcompensate to fit in, but this can be exhausting. When we begin to find self-compassion, honour our unique experiences, we can tune into our bodies and take small, intentional steps toward self-care, self-regulation, and authenticity. In turn, self-trust releases the need for external validation and reclaims a life that feels more aligned, more spacious, and more true to who we are.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Some of the deepest pressures we carry come from within, shaped by internalised expectations and perfectionism.How to better understand your personal bandwidth by noticing the people, environments, and choices that either energise or deplete you.How to break intergenerational cycles of burnout, overwhelm and people pleasing through creating a supportive environment.Understanding your priorities and asking yourself what you want to let go of.How creativity, breathwork, and other self-regulation tools can gently support you through anxiety and depression.The healing power of self-advocacy, and what can happen when you give yourself full permission to rest, take up space, and just be.Timestamps:00:05 - The Recognition of Neurodiversity01:51 - Understanding Our Neurodivergent Experiences06:10 - Understanding Burnout and Setting Boundaries09:09 - Embracing Change and Letting Go14:12 - The Importance of Self-Regulation and Asking for Help15:19 - The Power of Self-Acceptance and PermissionThe More Yourself Community doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

In this episode of More Yourself, I wanted to share a clip from a recent ADHD Women's Wellbeing live session that explored the concept of generativity versus stagnation —a theme that is very prevalent among late-diagnosed ADHD women.This concept, rooted in Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory, invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and contribute to our own lives and to others as we move through the different stages of adulthood. For those of us who received a diagnosis later in life, this understanding can be transformative. It reminds us that our diagnosis isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Erikson's 8 stages of psychosocial development viewed through a neurodivergent lens.The impact of unconscious masking on ADHD traits and energy levels.The concept of generativity vs. stagnation for late-diagnosed ADHD women.Seeing a late diagnosis as a new chapter for authenticity and evolution.The role of meaningful connection in women's reconnection with their identity post-diagnosis.The power of embracing change in midlife and beyond.Timestamps00:33 – Understanding ADHD and Psychosocial Development03:30 – Overview of Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development05:26 – Life Stages Through a Neurodivergent Lens07:17 – Generativity vs. Stagnation Explained07:54 – Generativity as a New Chapter of Potential09:40 – Embracing Change and Authenticity12:16 – Closing Reflections and Personal GrowthJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

In this episode of More Yourself, we're diving into one of the most powerful (and sometimes uncomfortable) tools in the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, developing self-trust.We'll explore how so many of us late-diagnosed ADHD women have been conditioned to doubt ourselves, to mask, and to override our inner knowing.

André, The Impulsive Thinker™, sits down with Belgian therapist Raquel Devillé to break down the reality behind hormone cycles, ADHD, and why it's “not your period.” Raquel explores how ADHD symptoms in women shift with estrogen levels, stress, and perimenopause—plus why so many neurodivergent Entrepreneurs feel disconnected from their bodies.

If you're an ADHD Entrepreneur wanting to better understand yourself, your team, or your family, this episode will give you practical insight and compassion for the journey.  

In this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we're shining a light on the critical but often ignored intersection between ADHD and the criminal justice system.I'm joined by Sarah Templeton, CEO of ADHD Liberty, counsellor, author of The Prison Counsellor, and tireless campaigner for ADHD awareness in prisons, probation, and homelessness services. Sarah shares how her powerful personal and professional journey of late diagnosed ADHD has led her to dedicate her work to supporting those misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by a system that labels ADHD traits as “bad” behaviour rather than unmet needs.With a fierce belief in rehabilitation, Sarah discusses common ADHD traits that can trigger "bad behaviour", practical ways ADHD can be managed behind bars without medication, and how improved understanding of ADHD can transform self-esteem, life outcomes, and even steer individuals from criminality to entrepreneurship.Her work is paving the way for a world where ADHD isn't punished but supported, and where young people are guided away from the school-to-prison pipeline.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What You'll Learn:Why society must stop labelling ADHD as “naughty” and start supporting it as a neurological conditionWhy ADHD traits like impulsivity and boundary-pushing are often misread as “bad behaviour”How poor self-esteem and shame in undiagnosed ADHD can drive offendingSarah's work to create ADHD awareness videos in prisons How parenting can be the turning point between criminality and creativityThe urgent need for ADHD screening in schools, prisons, probation, addiction and homelessness servicesWhat managing ADHD without medication or exercise looks like in prison (e.g. breathwork, mindset strategies)The role of ADHD awareness in rehabilitation The importance of research into ADHD and criminality, and the transformational effects of diagnosis and rehabilitationUnderstanding ADHD as a condition rather than a moral failing can significantly enhance self-esteem and promote recovery for those affected, as well as improve the criminal justice system.

Today I'm talking with Danielle Elliot, a health and science journalist, documentarian, and host of Climbing the Walls, an investigative podcast from Understood.org digging into the surge in ADHD diagnoses among women—especially since the pandemic. If that sounds familiar, it's cause I did a number of ads for her show a few months back, and I just wanted to make sure that I mention that, since while I'm not getting paid for this episode, I have done work with Understood before and probably will be promoting more of their stuff in the future. Anyway, in our conversation today, we cover a lot of ground, from debunking the idea that no one knew women could have ADHD until recently, to how social media has reshaped the conversation, to why research on hormones and ADHD is still way behind. We also get into the everyday realities of living with ADHD, the default mode network, and why we need far more research into how ADHD shows up in women. It's a mix of science, lived experience, and the kind of practical reflection that can help you rethink how ADHD fits into your life. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/241 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips 1. Instead of guessing when you've overbooked yourself, start tracking it like an experiment. For a few weeks, note each day you have social, professional, or mentally demanding activities beyond your baseline, then try and figure out how many consecutive “on” days it takes before you feel fried. 2. Downtime doesn't magically appear and needs to be scheduled on the calendar, or it often just gets eaten by other people's needs or whatever's loudest in the moment. If someone asks you to do something during that block, you can truthfully say you already have something scheduled. Treating self-care time as a legit appointment protects it from getting deprioritized just because it's “only for you.” 3. A common ADHD trap is overestimating how awful or time-consuming a task will be, which makes it easier to avoid it. Try timing your tasks to give yourself actual data to challenge your brain's “this will take forever” narrative and can turn a dreaded job into something you knock out in a couple of minutes. 4. Consider hormonal factors when tracking ADHD symptoms, as hormones have a big influence on your ADHD symptoms, yet are often overlooked. Hormonal changes can affect focus, energy, mood, and even how well ADHD medication works. Tracking your symptoms alongside your cycle or other hormonal shifts can help you spot patterns and adjust strategies accordingly.
