In Episode 89 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy talks about how she receives numerous emails and DMs from young women with ADHD who have been positively affected by this podcast. This makes her want to feature more young women on the podcast because the younger we start to see our ADHD brains for the brilliant brains that they are, the better. Tracy wants them to hear stories of young, inspiring women who are just like them.

In this episode, she introduces you to Jade Le Quesne, who just turned 23 yesterday. Jade is from the U.K. and was diagnosed with ADHD at the beginning of the year. Jade struggled through school and was always behind her classmates academically, but since childhood, she had a dream. Her dream was to attend college in the U.S. Jade achieved this and graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s in International Studies from the University of Tampa.

Jade is currently back in the U.K. studying nutrition and fitness, which she uses as a way to manage her symptoms. She believes that mental and physical health are intrinsically linked and looks forward to starting her own business very soon.

In this podcast, Jade shares her life-long battle with anxiety and emotional dysregulation, the circumstances surrounding her ADHD diagnosis, and how she always felt different from others. She talks about her interest in motocross, what has changed for her since being diagnosed, and why she decided to write for ADDitude Magazine. Jade also discusses the ADHD traits that she feels are responsible for her success, how she manages her ADHD symptoms, the link between empathy and emotional dysregulation, the key to living successfully with ADHD, and her number one ADHD workaround.
