In this episode of Neurospice Latte, Sarah shares her journey of being diagnosed with ADHD and PMDD—and how understanding both completely changed the way she sees herself. She opens up about what it’s like living with PMDD, how it impacted her life and career, and what’s actually helped her start feeling better.

This conversation covers everything from rejection sensitivity and overthinking to routine, structure, and finding what works for your brain. And of course, there are plenty of classic Neurospice Latte rabbit holes along the way.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like something just wasn’t adding up, this episode will likely resonate.
