“Girls with ADHD are unstoppable. We can achieve anything we want to, as long as we have the right support, the right community, the right people around us.”— Sarah Gaunt

Jenn Wilson is joined by guest Sarah Gaunt. Sarah Gaunt is the founder of Unstoppable Girls CIC, a unique youth‑work organisation supporting ADHD and neurodivergent young women and AFAB people aged 13–25 through digital communities, courses, and compassionate, inclusive support.

Episode Overview

In this inspiring conversation, Sarah Gaunt joins Jenn to discuss the work of Unstoppable Girls CIC—an organisation unlike any other in the UK. Sarah shares why digital youth work is so powerful for ADHD girls and AFAB young people, the importance of creating inclusive spaces, and how understanding the ADHD brain transforms confidence and self‑esteem. Together, Jenn and Sarah explore masking, rejection sensitivity, emotional regulation, body doubling, hyperfocus, and why traditional expectations of productivity simply don’t work for neurodivergent brains. This episode shines a light on the strengths, creativity, and resilience within ADHD communities, and how supportive environments can help young people thrive.

About Sarah Gaunt:

Sarah Gaunt founded Unstoppable Girls CIC after years of seeing girls with ADHD misunderstood and under-supported. A professionally qualified youth worker with over 20 years’ experience, Sarah is passionate about creating spaces where girls and young women can be understood, build confidence, and feel less alone. Through youth groups, workshops, and online communities, Unstoppable Girls supports girls aged 13–25 while also equipping parents and professionals with the knowledge and tools to better support them. Sarah’s work focuses on helping girls with ADHD recognise their strengths, grow in confidence, and realise that their brains are not a problem to fix but a power to understand.

Episode Takeaway

This episode is a warm, affirming reminder that ADHD is not a deficit—it’s a different way of being. When young people are given community, compassion, and tools that actually work for their brains, their confidence can grow and their potential becomes limitless. Sarah’s work shows just how powerful it is when we stop asking ADHD brains to fit a rigid system and instead shape environments that work for them. Whether you’re a parent, practitioner, or neurodivergent yourself, this conversation offers validation, practical insights, and hope.
