Bonus Episode: My ADHD in Women Insights...

Kate Moryoussef
About this episode

Preorder my book: The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit here.

This special bonus episode features an insightful conversation between Kate and Alex Partridge, host of the ADHD Chatter Podcast. Originally recorded for Alex’s show, this episode delves into the realities of being a woman with ADHD, the emotional toll it can take, and how Kate’s new book, The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit, was born out of her personal and professional experiences as an ADHD wellbeing coach.

Alex founded 2 social media giants, UNILAD and LADBible, aged just 21 and was then diagnosed with ADHD at 34. Since then, he has become a powerful advocate for neurodiversity online, reminding us all that we're not broken; we're different and have always been enough.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why understanding ADHD is crucial for women and girls to dismantle shame and stigma
  • How ADHD impacts women’s mental and physical health, often in overlooked ways
  • The emotional toll of being misunderstood, judged, or feeling like you don’t fit in
  • Common ADHD struggles like overwhelm, anxiety, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic
  • How ADHD shows up uniquely for women, especially across life stages and hormonal changes
  • The importance of neuro-affirming support, creating a sense of safety, and building self-trust
  • The power of boundaries, self-awareness, and community for women with ADHD
  • Kate's heartfelt advice for her younger self and women recently diagnosed with ADHD

This episode is a powerful reminder that awareness, compassion, and connection can transform the ADHD journey for women, helping them to feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
