  • The Gentle Power of Herbal Medicine for ADHD Women: Natural Ways to Support Sleep, Focus and Hormonal Health

    After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing.

    Plants have been supporting human health for thousands of years. But could they support your ADHD brain, too?

    This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Ellen Rowland, a Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist who works 1:1 with neurodivergent people.

    Ellen isn't here to replace anything that's already working for you. Instead, she uses evidence-based plant medicines, diet and lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system, support focus, balance energy, address hormonal, gut or other health issues, and ease emotional overwhelm, in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Ellen's personal journey, what led her to herbal medicine, and what it actually is
    • The cultural history of plant-based medicine in Central America
    • How modern-day life demands, such as high expectations, family demands, and constant task-switching, contribute to overwhelm in ADHD
    • Small things you can weave into your day alongside herbal medicine as a scaffold for support
    • Why people come to Ellen, what she can help with, and how she works collaboratively alongside GPs
    • How to start supporting yourself without access to a medical herbalist, including German and Roman chamomile
    • Herbs for calming down in the evening, and herbs for when you need to wake up and focus
    • How essential oils and aromatherapy work, and the remarkable healing power of scent

    Ellen brings a whole-person, neurodivergent-informed approach to this conversation. For those of us who feel like we're still missing something despite doing all the "right" things, this episode offers a gentle and genuinely interesting new layer of support.

  • The Perimenopause and ADHD Connection That Could Change Everything

    Get the full Live Event Audio Experience recording here

    Have you reached perimenopausal age and started to notice that the scaffolding and coping mechanisms you may have used for so long are not working as they used to?

    If you're confused about hormones and keep hearing lots of different information on social media, this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

    In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, Adele Wimsett, whose groundbreaking Perfect Storm study explores the intersection of perimenopause and ADHD, cuts through the noise with clarity, warmth and real practical insight.

    So many of us don't realise the science behind why our coping mechanisms stop working during perimenopause. We think it's an "us" problem. Adele is here to gently talk us through the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD in a genuinely eye-opening way!

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What hormones actually are and what they do in your body
    • How hormones change throughout your cycle and the impact this has on ADHD
    • Why misinformation around progesterone exists and what Adele's study "The Perfect Storm" teaches us about ADHD and perimenopause
    • Why tracking your hormones can be a game-changer for ADHD
    • Why old coping mechanisms stop working when women reach perimenopause
    • The power of advocating for women's health and personalised treatment If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation might be the one that finally makes it make sense.

  • Healing Your Money Trauma: Why Finances Feel So Overwhelming with ADHD

    Did you grow up feeling like you were “bad with money” before you ever understood your ADHD?

    What if the overspending, the avoidance, the paralysis, the guilt are actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do in response to fear, long before you ever had a bank account of your own?

    This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Morgan, a global speaker, author, and founder of The Money Panel®.

    Catherine spent 17 years as a financial adviser, so she knows the technical side of money inside out. But over time, she kept noticing the same thing: people would get the "right" advice but not be able to act on it.

    Catherine recognised that something else was getting in the way, which is what her work is all about now. She founded The Money Panel®, wrote the international bestseller It's Not About the Money, and has built a whole framework around the idea that our money patterns don't live in our spreadsheets... They live in our bodies.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why money feels like a difficult conversation, and what it's really about
    • How fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial lives
    • The concept of "money as energy"
    • Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real step
    • Why women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs us
    • How financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somatically
    • Why 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one opening
    • How AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living inside
    • How EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the body
    • What it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionary

    Catherine brings a rare combination of financial expertise, deep psychological understanding, and lived experience to this conversation. For those of us whose relationship with money has always felt bigger, heavier, and more personal than it should, this episode offers something genuinely different to the standard budgeting apps and hacks that just don't work.

    This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia. Their podcast, AHA Aha! Shared candid stories about ADHD realisations, including the unexpected, emotional and even funny ways ADHD symptoms can surface!

  • The Messy Reality of Parenting Neurodivergent Kids - 'Everyone Gets A Juice Box' Takeover

    Have you ever looked back at the parent you were before you understood your child's neurodivergence and felt a quiet, heavy wave of regret? Not because you were a bad parent, but because you just didn't have the information you needed yet.

    In this week's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re doing something a little different! I want to share an episode of another podcast (from Understood.org) with you called Everyone Gets a Juice Box, and I want to share it with you as I know so many of you not only have ADHD, but are also raising kids who are neurodivergent.

    In this episode, Jessica is joined by Dion Chavis. A few years ago, Dion's son was diagnosed with autism, his teenage daughter received an ADHD diagnosis, and shortly after, in his early 40s, Dion was diagnosed with ADHD himself. Instead of looking away, he looked back with honesty, compassion, and a willingness to do things differently.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why a late diagnosis so often sends us back through our children's childhoods and why that grief is valid
    • The difference between parenting from selfishness and parenting from selflessness, and how awareness changes everything
    • Why social connection matters just as much as academic achievement for neurodivergent children
    • How Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria shows up in ADHD teenagers and what it looks like in friendships
    • The power of openly normalising conversations about diagnosis, medication and therapy within your family
    • Why giving your child grace starts with giving yourself grace first
    • How fathers of neurodivergent children are finding each other — and why that community changes everything

    If you've ever whispered "I should have known better" to yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were doing the best you could, with what you had, in the moment you were in. And that is enough.

    This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia. If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, I’d recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it’s full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!

  • Were You ‘Too Much’ — Or Just Misunderstood? ADHD, Trauma & Finding Your True Self

    What if the labels you’ve carried throughout your life didn't have to define your story?

    In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Miranda Arieh, a multi-award-winning motivational speaker, mental health educator, and transformation coach. Miranda is the founder of the pioneering HEROES Programme and an advocate for changing how we view mental health, neurodiversity and emotional regulation.

    Miranda uses her lived experience to fuel her passion for helping others make lasting transformations to their lives by learning how to effectively work with all our human experiences of emotional suffering.

    This conversation is an invitation to look back at your past through a lens of neurodivergence—not to find "fault," but to find the compassion and forgiveness needed to move forward.

    In this episode, we explore:
    • How turning anger into passion can shift the narrative around emotional dysregulation and neurodivergence.
    • What "trauma-informed care" actually looks like in practice and why it’s vital for the ND community.
    • Miranda’s perspective on how high-masking ADHD and autism intersect with complex childhood trauma.
    • Why Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) feels different in a neurodivergent nervous system and why "not everyone feels it" the same way.
    • The cost of masking for safety, the pain of forgetting your true self, and the beauty of rediscovery.
    • Learning the importance of coregulating with ourselves to find internal stability.
    • How a formal diagnosis can be the "missing piece" that provides clarity and self-acceptance.
    • The SAVE Method - a practical strategy for regulating emotions and practising effective self-advocacy.
    • How to create healthy boundaries and space for the right people without abandoning yourself in the process.

    This episode is a vital reminder that your emotional experiences are valid, and by understanding the "why" behind your brain and your history, lasting transformation becomes possible.

  • Medical Gaslighting, Women’s Health & ADHD: Why So Many of Us Are Dismissed

    What happens when you’re both a doctor… and the patient who isn’t being listened to?

    In this episode of ADHD Women’s Wellbeing, I’m joined by Dr Liz Murray, a doctor, activist, artist, and founder of Mortal + Strong. After 15 years navigating chronic illness, including lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriage, Liz shares what it’s like to experience the healthcare system from both sides.

    This conversation is about what often gets missed, female health symptoms that are normalised, the moments of dismissal that stay with you, and why for many neurodivergent women, why navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming, invalidating, and exhausting.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Liz's journey of living with lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriage
    • Liz's experience of navigating the healthcare system as both doctor and patient
    • The impact of normalising heavy and painful periods on delayed endometriosis and fibroids diagnoses
    • The gaps in menstrual health education and what doctors aren’t taught to look for
    • The reality of medical gatekeeping and the “micro-traumas” of feeling dismissed
    • Why GPs are under pressure to know everything, and how that impacts patient care
    • The challenge for women with ADHD may experience in communicating symptoms in short appointments
    • How ADHD can make women more sensitive to hormonal changes
    • Practical advice for appointments to communicate more effectively
    • The importance of self-advocacy in medical settings
    • Why a holistic approach to women’s health matters (including diet, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle)
    • How we can better support the next generation to advocate for their health

    This episode is both validating and practical, offering insight, language, and tools to help you feel more confident advocating for your health.

  • You Have the Diagnosis, Now What? Making Sense of ADHD and Moving Forward

    If you’ve ever received an ADHD diagnosis and thought… okay, this explains so much, but now what? Then this week’s More Yourself episode is for you.

    In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, Kate shares her “post-diagnosis gentle growth formula”, a way of making sense of everything you’ve learned about yourself, and how to begin moving forward with it.

    From awareness and authenticity to boundaries, burnout and self-trust, she explores what it can look like to build a life that actually works with your brain.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why an ADHD diagnosis can be the start of healing, not just understanding
    • How to manage ADHD after diagnosis using Kate's gentle growth formula
    • Letting go of ADHD masking and reconnecting with who you really are
    • Reframing ADHD as an attention difference, not a deficit
    • The link between undiagnosed ADHD, burnout and low self-worth
    • Why self-trust and self-leadership matter after an ADHD diagnosis
    • How to identify and break ADHD patterns that keep you stuck
    • The importance of the ADHD community, connection and support

    If you’ve spent years feeling like you’re getting it wrong, this episode offers a hopeful, compassionate reframe. Not to fix yourself, but to understand yourself, and step into a version of life that feels more aligned, more sustainable, and more yourself.

  • ADHD Isn’t Laziness: Understanding Neurodivergence at Work, in Parenting & Within Yourself with Kristen Pressner

    For so many women, ADHD has been misunderstood for decades — often internalised as laziness, failure, or not trying hard enough.

    But what if that story was never true to begin with?

    In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Kristen Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity for a conversation on ADHD, leadership, parenting, and why understanding your brain can change how you live, work, and relate to yourself.

    Kristen brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation, sharing what it’s been like raising four neurodivergent children while navigating a high-powered career, and how this journey has reshaped the way she understands ADHD, both at home and in the workplace.

    This is a conversation that gently challenges some of the narratives many of us have grown up with, particularly the idea that ADHD is about laziness or lack of discipline, and instead invites us to explore what might be possible when we approach ourselves (and others) with more curiosity, compassion, and understanding.

    In this episode, we explore:

    1. Kristen's experience of supporting her family through their neurodivergence diagnosis
    2. The different emotions that can come with an ADHD diagnosis
    3. Why understanding the biology of ADHD can help us work with our brains
    4. The impact of undiagnosed neurodivergence on mental health and relationships
    5. Why so many people may not recognise themselves in traditional narratives
    6. How creating non-judgmental environments can reduce shame in those with ADHD
    7. How to feel safe to survive, which allows you to thrive
    8. Why knowing your needs can be tricky, and how to gently explore this
    9. Practical ways workplaces and managers can support neurodivergent employees with meaningful, individualised accommodations
    10. How Kristen has brought her lived experience into her leadership work to support others more effectively
    11. The concept of a “brain friend” and how having someone alongside you can make navigating life with ADHD feel less overwhelming
    12. How tools like AI can support neurodivergent people to process thoughts, communicate needs, and better understand themselves

    This episode is a reminder that there is nothing “wrong” with your brain, and that with the right support, understanding, and space to explore what actually works for you, things can begin to feel a little more possible.

  • Dyslexia, ADHD & Why Life Feels Harder Than It Should (Even When You’re Capable)

    What if the reason life feels harder than it “should” isn’t a personal failing… but something that’s been missed all along?

    In this eye-opening episode, Dr Jacob Santhouse reveals how dyslexia goes far beyond reading and writing, and why so many women with ADHD may be living with an undetected piece of their story.

    If I asked you to describe dyslexia, what would you say? Letters, reading and numbers? You're not alone, but this week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Jacob Santhouse is here to show us just how much more there is to the story.

    Dyslexia touches learning, self-esteem, executive functioning, and the exhausting daily admin of simply getting through life, and often goes hand in hand with ADHD, creating a unique and complex set of challenges for those navigating life with both.

    Dr Jacob Santhouse is a dyslexic counsellor and coach, who supports dyslexic individuals in developing self-esteem, understanding their brains, and figuring out how to navigate life more effectively. So, if you've ever wondered why life feels so much harder than it seems to for everyone else, this episode might just give you the answer you have been waiting for.

    In this episode, we explore:

    1. The misunderstandings behind dyslexia and how it impacts more than reading and writing
    2. What a late dyslexia diagnosis can mean for adults
    3. How understanding dyslexia helps you to work strategically, instead of against yourself
    4. How dyslexia and ADHD often coexist, and how to begin to untangle the two
    5. The truth about colour overlays and why they are so often incorrectly associated with dyslexia
    6. The impact of dyslexia on automaticity, working memory and executive functioning
    7. How masking shows up in dyslexia and promotes avoidant behaviours
    8. The lesser-known ways dyslexia can present that even healthcare professionals need to know
    9. Tips to support long-term memory and how teachers can encourage real, lasting learning
    10. Jacob's advice for anyone who is currently wondering whether dyslexia might be part of their story

    Through this conversation, Jacob's knowledge and awareness will help you develop strategies and a deeper understanding of your experiences, and potentially provide the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for.

  • The Neuroscience Behind Why Your ADHD Brain Won't Switch Off

    If you have ever started a task with the best intentions, yet 4 hours later your sat doing something completely different wondering how you got there... this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

    In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, clinical psychologist and ADHD expert Dr Hannah Cullen talks us through the Default Mode Network, how it is impacted in those of us with ADHD, and the tools we can use to support our brains!

    If you're normally scared by the term neuroscience, this episode offers a warm, funny and brilliantly clear perspective on information that could really help you to make sense of a brain you may have spent a lifetime fighting against.

    In this episode, we explore:

    1. What the Default Mode Network actually is and why understanding it is so crucial for managing ADHD symptoms
    2. Why do so many of us start tasks and struggle to finish them, and what this has to do with working memory
    3. How Dr Hannah brings the DMN to life by demonstrating in real time just how hard it is for our brains to stay focused
    4. Pacing techniques that can genuinely reduce burnout and help with task completion
    5. The power of microstarts and real examples of how they can help you finally begin
    6. How outsourcing tasks and body doubling can ease overwhelm and boost productivity
    7. Simple systems like planners and diaries can make daily life feel more manageable
    8. Why ADHD shows up differently in women, including the impact on stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem

    This session offers something that good therapy often takes years to uncover — and Hannah delivers it with so much warmth, humour and clarity that you'll want to listen twice.
