What happens when the professional helping others with ADHD realizes… she has it too?

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Greer sits down with Dr. Janina Maschke — psychologist, ADHD coach, researcher, and author of A Feminist Guide to ADHD. Together, they unpack how ADHD often looks different in women, the role of hormones and masking, and why so many women don’t get diagnosed until adulthood.

Blending clinical insight with lived experience, Dr. Maschke shares practical tools for managing overwhelm, setting boundaries, and reframing ADHD as a different way of thinking — not a broken one.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How ADHD presents differently in women

Why masking and hormones delay diagnosis

Real-life strategies for preventing burnout and emotional overload

How to set boundaries and respond with intention

Why reframing ADHD can transform how you see yourself and others

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or supporting someone who is, this episode offers compassion, validation, and practical next steps for thriving with ADHD.
