For so many women, ADHD has been misunderstood for decades — often internalised as laziness, failure, or not trying hard enough.
But what if that story was never true to begin with?
In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Kristen Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity for a conversation on ADHD, leadership, parenting, and why understanding your brain can change how you live, work, and relate to yourself.
Kristen brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation, sharing what it’s been like raising four neurodivergent children while navigating a high-powered career, and how this journey has reshaped the way she understands ADHD, both at home and in the workplace.

This episode is a reminder that there is nothing “wrong” with your brain, and that with the right support, understanding, and space to explore what actually works for you, things can begin to feel a little more possible.
