In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Judith Mohring, an internationally respected consultant organisational psychiatrist, coach, therapist and trainer with over 25 years’ experience working across clinical, leadership and organisational settings.

Judith brings a deeply compassionate and clinically grounded perspective to understanding ADHD in women, particularly through the lens of hormones, emotional regulation, stress and life stages.

Drawing on her work training clinicians, leaders and organisations, and her passion for psychoeducation, this conversation gently challenges the idea that ADHD is static or one-size-fits-all.

In this week's wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we welcome ADHD business mentor Amanda Perry to explore returning to work and life with more ease after the holidays. As a late-diagnosed midlife woman herself, Amanda shares how her ADHD diagnosis reshaped her business, inviting us to embrace supportive tools like AI without losing our unique strengths and messaging.

We discuss practical ways AI can support tasks that require executive function, such as breaking down overwhelming tasks and automating routines, so we can focus on what we love. This conversation honours the shift from "work harder" to "work smarter," helping us reduce burnout and nurture balance in our working life.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

1. How Amanda's ADHD diagnosis shifted how she runs her business
2. The power of using AI to automate tasks that drain our energy
3. How tools like projects and tasks in ChatGPT can support daily workflow and planning
4. Understanding how AI can complement your strengths and overcome your challenges for the best assistance
5. Intentional use of AI to break down ideas, clarify your ideas, prevent burnout, and organise your time
6. Shifting away from a 'work harder' mindset to a more efficient workflow through smarter shortcuts

The key message of this episode is that AI is a tool which can complement your creativity, but isn't a replacement for it. Explore how AI can be your supportive business partner to start the year with more ease, self-compassion, and smarter systems.

In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of our top episodes of 2025 with clinical psychologist, Dr Russell Ramsay.

Together, we explore the powerful link between ADHD and anxiety, and why so many women experience both. This conversation offers a validating look at how ADHD’s constant uncertainty can fuel anxious thoughts, self-doubt and overthinking, and why there is nothing “wrong” with you for feeling this way.​

We unpack how anxiety can act as an alarm system, what it might be trying to signal based on past experiences, and how tools like CBT, emotional labelling and distanced self-talk can help you move through anxious moments with more clarity and self-compassion.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• Why anxiety and ADHD are so often intertwined stemming from a fear of uncertainty
• An explanation of why stimulants (for some people) can lower anxiety by improving focus and reducing mental chaos
• Understanding what your anxiety is trying to protect you from and how to build self-confidence
• Where RSD and social anxiety come from and why it they can feel more intense for ADHD women
• Seeing anxiety as an alarm system rather than a personal failing to support more confident choices
• How tolerating discomfort can help you get started with anxiety-provoking tasks
• Simple tools like emotional labelling and distance self-talk to calm your inner chatter and reduce catastrophic thinking

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. 

In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of this year’s most listened-to conversations with ADHD coach Meredith Carder, all about redefining what rest really looks like for our ADHD brains.

The holiday season can feel especially intense and overwhelming, so this Christmas Day replay is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow down, honour your needs, and choose rest that actually works for you.​

Together, we explore why traditional ideas of “rest” often don’t work for ADHD women and how you can start redefining recovery, energy, and self-care in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable.​

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• What rest can look like for ADHD beyond just lying on the sofa
• Different types of rest including mental rest, active rest, and energising activities that help you reset rather than shut down
• How to experiment with what truly recharges you instead of defaulting to what you think you “should” be doing
• Why building confidence and self-trust is essential so you can give yourself permission to rest differently and honour your own rhythms
• The role of self-compassion in navigating low days, burnout, and motivation dips without spiralling into shame or self-criticism
• Challenging societal expectations about productivity, careers, and “how life should look”
• Honouring your needs to live in a way that genuinely supports their wellbeing
• The impact of common ADHD co-occurring conditions (like anxiety and depression)
• How releasing shame and judgement around your needs, work, and pace can create more space for your full potential to emerge

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. 

In this insightful and empowering episode, I’m joined by Vanessa Gorelkin, an occupational therapist who brings a deeply compassionate and practical perspective to supporting ADHD, especially when it comes to emotional regulation, energy management, and creating environments that help us thrive.

Together, we explore how occupational therapy (OT) can be a game-changer for adults with ADHD to help us understand our sensory needs, emotional responses, and daily rhythms. We also explore Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), two powerful frameworks that offer tools for navigating emotional ups and downs with more ease and self-compassion.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• What occupational therapy can look like for adults with ADHD
• How DBT techniques like emotional regulation and distress tolerance can help ADHD
• The importance of workplace accommodations for neurodivergent individuals
• Energy management and the mental health impact of overcompensating for sensory challenges
• How to identify your optimal conditions to avoid overstimulation and burnout

• Using the diving reflex to regulate your internal state (yes to sighing, cold water, and essential oils!)
• Why timing matters when it comes to meditation and rest
• How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand our behaviours and emotional triggers
• Why a holistic approach is essential in ADHD therapy and wellbeing

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. 

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re joined by Nick Potter, consultant osteopath and head of health and wellbeing at Brevan Howard Asset Management.

Nick brings a fresh perspective on what’s really going on in our bodies, especially for neurodivergent women navigating stress, sensory overload, pain, and misdiagnosis.

We talk about how the brain processes pain, why hypermobility might be affecting your nervous system more than you think, and the powerful link between chronic conditions like fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and hormonal symptoms and ADHD.

Key takeaways:

• What proprioception is and why ADHD women need to understand it
• The science behind pain perception and why your brain might interpret things as worse than they are
• How hypermobility and collagen differences affect proprioception (a unspoken 6th sense)
• Why neurodivergent women experience more chronic fatigue, pain, and hormonal symptoms
• The emotional relief and reduced pain that come with a proper diagnosis
• The body budget theory: how burnout happens when your energy runs low, and what to do about it
• How childhood stress and trauma can change the way your nervous system responds to the world
• Using HRV (heart rate variability) as a signal for stress, illness or burnout
• The additional stress women go through from having an additional hormone (the womb), and its impact on health
• The importance of using anxiety and fear as a signal, not something to ignore
• Simple, free tools to support your nervous system, such as resistance training, breathwork, and rest

This is an empowering and validating episode which explains why your body feels like it's constantly in overdrive and help you connect the dots between your body and brain in a whole new way.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. 

In this week's More Yourself episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate explores one of the biggest and most powerful shifts that happens after a late ADHD diagnosis: learning to trust yourself again.

This clip from the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Summer series workshop, Boosting your Self-Belief and Self-Trust after a late-in-life ADHD Diagnosis, is all about rebuilding self-belief, understanding your inner dialogue, and shifting the unhelpful stories we’ve been telling ourselves, often our whole lives.

Many women diagnosed later in life carry years of internalised shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, we explore how to recognise and rewire limiting beliefs that have become your reality for so long, but may not actually be true.

This conversation will help you embrace life with self-compassion, clarity, and trust in who you are, what you believe, and how you want to navigate your life.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• Learning how to recognise, rewire, release, and rebuild beliefs to develop stronger self-trust after an ADHD diagnosis
• How what we believe often shapes how we see ourselves and our reality
• Understanding how internal criticism and old thought patterns influence our choices, confidence, and emotional wellbeing
• The power of self-trust and how to reconnect with your inner voice, which knows who you truly are
• Using affirmations and mantras to gently shift how you speak to yourself, moving from self-doubt to self-support
• Understanding how you want to show up, speak to yourself, and regulate your emotions with compassion and clarity
• Why self-acceptance starts with awareness to make space for growth
• How to reframe limiting beliefs to move towards healing and self-confidence

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. 

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the complex and often overlooked intersection of ADHD, hormones, and women’s mental health, particularly during pivotal life transitions like perimenopause.

I’m joined by Dr. Helen Wall, a GP and registered menopause specialist with the British Menopause Society. Helen is also a resident GP on BBC Breakfast, a columnist for Woman magazine, and public health clinical director in Greater Manchester. She therefore brings both clinical expertise and real-world empathy to bridge the gap between professional healthcare and accessible, compassionate advice to ensure women feel heard, understood, and properly supported.

We explore why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed when seeking help for emotional and physical symptoms related to hormone fluctuations, and touch on everything from progesterone sensitivity and HRT, to advocating for yourself at the GP, and the growing need for women’s health education that takes neurodiversity seriously.

I discuss the crossover of ADHD and hormones in my new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, which is now available. Grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• Why so many women with ADHD report mental health declines during perimenopause, including PMDD, anxiety, and mood disorders.
• The connection between hormonal sensitivity and neurodivergence, and why it's often overlooked by mainstream medicine.
• How stereotypes and stigma contribute to late ADHD diagnosis in women, especially in midlife.
• The shift in how menopause is being discussed and treated post-COVID.
• The dangers of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to HRT and why personalised prescriptions matter.
• Why clinicians must join the dots between long-term anxiety and depression and undiagnosed ADHD or hormonal issues.
• The growing importance of patient-led care and better GP education around menopause and neurodiversity.
• How to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office when your concerns have been dismissed.

Have you been struggling to get out of bed lately, stick to your routines or noticed a shift in your mood as the days have got shorter? If your answer is yes, this episode is for you!

In this More Yourself episode, we revisit a clip from my recent workshop about Resting Through the Seasons. We discussed the impact of natural light and seasonal shifts on sleep, circadian rhythm and emotional regulation for women with ADHD. As well as exploring the small changes you can make to have a big impact.

This isn’t about quick wins or productivity hacks. It’s about understanding your body, honouring your needs, and finding rhythms that feel good to you.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• How seasonal changes impact sleep, mood, and energy, especially for women with ADHD
• Why morning light is a natural “medicine” that helps regulate melatonin, mood, and motivation
• The role of circadian rhythms and how to work with your internal clock, not against it
• Why ADHD night owls may struggle more during seasonal shifts
• The influence of hormones (e.g. HRT and progesterone) on sleep quality and emotional regulation
• Tips for creating calming, gentle rituals and a sleep-friendly bedroom environment
• Why acknowledging the impact of seasonal change (without blame) is key to self-compassion
