    In this episode, host Kelsey Spronk chats with author and health coach Erin Kerry about how people with ADHD can live beyond diagnostic labels and find true healing.

    Together, they explore the gut-brain connection, how nutrients and hormone shifts impact focus and mood, and practical ways to manage stress—from ADHD-friendly meal prep to simple breathwork and faith-based reframes.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Faith & Identity: Reframe labels and release shame to embrace who you are.
    • Gut & Hormones: Learn how micro-nutrients, gut health, and hormone shifts shape dopamine and serotonin.
    • Practical Support: Simple lifestyle habits, smart testing options (like ferritin and GI maps), and nervous system regulation built for busy schedules.

    • 178 // 4 Reasons Women with ADHD Feel Misunderstood

      Do you often feel misunderstood (as a woman with ADHD)? It's an awful feeling. Maybe it even feels like rejection. 

      In today's episode I cover four key reasons I believe those of us with ADHD feel misunderstood:

      1. Environments not designed for our ADHD brains
      2. Lack of affirmation
      3. Masking
      4. Lingering stigma
      5. At the end of the episode, I will give you actionable steps you can follow if you are struggling with feeling misunderstood. I hope you find this episode helpful and encouraging!

      6. 177 // How ADHD, the Pelvic Floor & Prolapse are Connected, with Jenn Lormand

        Did you know there's a connection between ADHD and your pelvic floor? Hint: it has to do with our nervous system. 

        What about the fact that 20-25% of women over 40 have at least early stage prolapse? Or that 1 in 3 women will develop clinically significant prolapse over their lifetime? And that jumps to 1 in 2 for those who have given birth?

        Jenn Lormand shared these statistics with me and I was shocked to see how high these percentages are!

        In today's episode, we talk all about your pelvic floor health, prolapse and the connection with ADHD. We discuss common signs and symptoms of prolapse, including: urgency, frequency, leaks, pressure, hip/back pain, sexual pain, constipation and bloating. 

        I hope you find today's episode as interesting and helpful as I did! Happy listening.

      7. 176 // Why Women with ADHD Never Feel Good Enough

        Why don't we feel good enough as women with ADHD? I believe it stems from these two categories:

        (1) We measure ourselves by external expectations (social media, family, culture), and

        (2) We fail to recognize our own strengths and contributions. 

        Today's episode will help you explore where your expectations are coming from, how to let of of unhealthy or unrealistic expectations and how to finally recognize that you've been good enough all along.

        I hope you enjoy it!

        Do you often feel the need to mask your ADHD symptoms to "fit in"?

      9. 174 // The Effect of Exercise on ADHD & Perimenopause, with Debra Atkinson

        Curious how exercise affects the brain? What about the brain during menopause or for those with ADHD?

        In today's episode, I am joined by Debra Atkinson - a trainer, speaker, coach, exercise physiologist and founder of Flipping 50. We discuss how movement affects the brain and supports women through perimenopause and menopause, especially those with ADHD.

        Today's episode answers questions like:

        1. How does exercise affect the brain?
        2. What are the short-term vs. long-term benefits of exercise?

        4. Which is better; high-intensity, moderate-intensity or low-intensity workouts?
        5. How often should I weight-train for optimal bone density and muscle growth?
        6. Do the workout requirements change when I hit menopause?
        7. What kind of workout lowers cortisol?

        10. 173 // Why ADHD is a Terrible Name, with Dr. Jennie Byrne

          In today's episode, I am joined by Dr. Jennie Byrne — psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author of ADHD in Professionals — for a practical, research-based conversation about why “ADHD” is a misleading name and how to adopt a strengths-focused view.

          We discuss how ADHD shows up differently in adults, the overlap with anxiety, and why it’s better framed as a brain variant rather than a disorder.

          The episode covers stigma (especially for adults and women), the challenges high-achieving professionals face—masking, household management, health maintenance, and the toll of modern attention-draining technology—and the surprising strengths of many ADHD minds, including creativity, hyper-focus, and resilience under pressure.

          Dr. Byrne shares concrete recommendations: know your brain and body, prioritize movement, consider formal assessment and treatment options, delegate and rewrite cultural assumptions, minimize attention-grabbing tech, and structure work around peak focus times.

          For more, find Dr. Jennie Byrne on LinkedIn and YouTube or visit constellationpllc.com for resources and care.

        11. 172 // How Will You Respond to Rejection in ADHD

          Nobody likes rejection. Especially for those of us with ADHD where it stings even more as we navigate Rejection Sensitivity or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.

          But, here's the reality. We will have to deal with rejection at some point or another.

          In today's episode, I will give you 5 questions you can ask yourself to figure out how you want to respond to rejection in ADHD.

          Because we can't choose other's thoughts or actions, but we can choose our own.

          When you are met with rejection or failure, I want you to ask yourself these two things:

          1. Is this true (what are the facts)?
          2. How else could I view this situation?
          3. I hope you enjoy today's episode!

            Ever wonder why other parents seem so "chill"? Meanwhile, you feel like you're a volcano ready to explode at any moment?

            In today's episode, psychotherapist and author, Katie McKenna, walks us through her CALM parenting method. This is not your ordinary parenting advice that just tells you to do better - it actually takes into account where you, as the parent, are coming from.

            • How fear plays a role in our parenting
            • How to set limits & boundaries with your children
            • How to re-train your nervous system
            • Letting go of the shame in parenting
            • How our own upbringing and emotional trauma affect our parenting (and what to do about it)
