Redefining Midlife with Jo Clark

114. Navigating ADHD in Midlife with Kirstin Bouse


Listen Later

Over the coming weeks, I am featuring a three-part series on neurodivergency in midlife. To begin, I am joined by Kirstin Bouse, an expert who combines her professional insight with personal experience to shed light on how ADHD affects women, especially as we navigate hormonal shifts and life changes. Listen in as we talk about:

  • Common symptoms of ADHD in women that are often overlooked due to historical male-focused criteria.

  • The unique challenges of diagnosing ADHD in midlife and beyond.

  • How hormonal changes can intensify ADHD symptoms, making it harder to manage day-to-day tasks.

  • Practical coping strategies, including medication, setting reminders, and neuroaffirming practices.

  • The significance of viewing ADHD as a difference, not a disorder, and how societal attitudes impact this perspective.

  • Encouragement for women to explore potential ADHD diagnoses and find validation in their experiences.

  • This episode reminds us that understanding ADHD is a journey. If you or someone you love is considering an ADHD diagnosis, Kirsten’s insights offer a compassionate roadmap to better understanding and managing this condition. Remember, you’re not alone; ADHD doesn’t define you but can offer new perspectives on how to thrive.
