Allow Me to Interrupt: The ADHD Episode You Didn’t Know You Needed


Listen Later

Buckle up for a mind-bending chat with Dr. Gilly Kahn, the psychologist who’s flipping the script on women’s ADHD. In this electric episode, we dive into her game-changing book Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women’s ADHD.

Think ADHD is just “can’t sit still”? Think again. Dr. Kahn exposes the hidden emotional rollercoaster—shame spirals, rejection sensitivity, and the secret superpower of hyperfocus—that society’s been misdiagnosing for decades. From late diagnoses to masking mastery, she spills the tea on why women are slipping through the cracks… and how to finally see ourselves.

Warning: Side effects include “aha” moments, tears, and the urge to interrupt everyone with your new ADHD wisdom.

Hit play. Your brain will thank you.
