Today, I bring you a deeply personal message through a solo episode.As I take a break from releasing new content for a few weeks while I have some time off over the summer, this episode is an invitation to surrender and notice, without judgment, where you are right now, where you've been for the past few months, and what you're crying out for as we move towards the last few months of 2024.In this message, I discuss whether, despite the chaotic external climate, we are able to try to slow down, remove pressure, and release some of the heavy burdens we are all carrying within us.

Navigating the ADHD diagnostic pathways while being neurodivergent is not easy. It can be incredibly challenging when we're also doing this to support and advocate for our children.

Dyslexia and ADHD - The ALMIGHTY Connection!

Check out all of Kate's online ADHD on-demand resources here.Did you know that many people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, even in childhood, may also be living with undiagnosed ADHD? ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions that frequently overlap, confusing the nature of these two conditions. It is (very cautiously) estimated that 30% of those with dyslexia have coexisting ADHD. Neurodiversity experts now believe that neurodivergence NEVER travels alone, meaning that there will always be at least another coexisting condition. So, if you have an ADHD diagnosis, there's a high chance of another overlapping neurodiversity, such as dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and vice versa. ADHD doesn't cause dyslexia; it's simply a co-existing trait. Likewise, if you have a dyslexia diagnosis, get curious about whether ADHD may also be in the mix, especially if you have suffered from other issues such as overthinking, anxiety, RSD or PMDD.This week's guest is Natalie Brooks, founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a company that aims to help ambitious dyslexic adults thrive in the workplace.On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Natalie speak about:Natalie's experience of growing up with dyslexia Natalie's dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD journey The interplay of ADHD and Dyslexia Looking at the intersectionality of neurodiversityTaking a more holistic approach to diagnosis How dyslexia shows up for different people What you can ask for at work when you have dyslexia Dealing with other people's expectations of you when you are DyslexicNatalie's dyslexic role modelsGet access to Natalie's free download: Decode Dyslexia at Work here >> https://dyslexiainadults.myflodesk.com/bwxf930nnsLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.

What you Need Know About the ADHD Gut-Brain Connection

Despite many of us feeling challenged by undiagnosed ADHD for most of our lives, there is also a way to thrive alongside our ADHD. On today's episode, I talk to Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, known affectionately as "The Creative Scientist," a distinguished clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher in the UK. His expertise centres on the intricate gut-brain connection, drawing on a rich, real-world scientific foundation rather than purely academic pursuits. Dr. Miguel's academic journey includes degrees in Nutritional Medicine and Clinical Neuroscience, culminating in a Doctorate focused on Mental Health and the Gut Microbiome. Navigating life with ADHD and autism, Dr Miguel possesses a deep, personal understanding of the specific dietary needs of neurodivergent individuals. He emphasises the critical role of dietary choices in enhancing executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. His philosophy is captured in his words: “By understanding and addressing the nuanced relationships between what we eat and how our brains operate, we empower ourselves to make choices that not only nourish our bodies but also support our neurodivergent minds in navigating daily tasks and interactions more smoothly.”On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Miguel and Kate spoke about:Miguel's journey to his ADHD diagnosis Bringing a more feminine softer energy to science The relationship between the gut and the BrainADHD and disordered eating ADHD tendencies toward extreme behaviour Having self-compassion around your diet and what you eatHow self-compassion can actually help your gut health Identifying sources of rejection sensitivity dysphoria Dr Miguel offers personalized clinical consultations and has crafted a comprehensive course titled "Thrive with ADHD," available at drmiguelmateas.com/thrive-with-adhd-course.

The POWERFUL technique that CHANGED my life AND helped my ADHD!

As many of you who have followed me for a while will know, EFT or tapping is something I talk about a lot!I began my training in 2019 and continue to use tapping on myself, my kids and many of my clients most weeks. I have combined EFT in many of my workshops, and I love making tapping as accessible as possible for all of my community. I'm always blown away by the results and how effective a short amount of tapping can be. And on this week's episode, I have Pearl Lopian, a Psychotherapist, EFT Master Trainer and Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience.

How to Live a Well Lived Life with Dr Gladys McGarey

It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a neurodivergent doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation. She tells me her secrets to a fulfilled life of gratitude, acceptance and authenticity.I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who was 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared—I had many epiphanies after each chapter. After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain—she shares her dyslexia, learning, and education journey—I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! During our conversation, Dr Gladys shared her story of being held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how, through her different learning styles and curiosity, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.

Embracing a more integrated, holistic and spiritual approach to ADHD

An integrative and more holistic healthcare approach is something you hear me talking about a lot on the Podcast. You've probably heard how passionate I am about helping people with ADHD weave more lifestyle-orientated practices alongside Western healthcare in their daily routine, and I'm delighted to welcome someone who embraces this approach with her patients, Dr Gemma Newman (The Plant Power Doctor), a best-selling author, podcast host, and GP. Although Gemma is a medical GP, she's also interested in holistic health, plant-based nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. In her practice, she has come to understand that body, mind, and soul are not separate and that only by addressing the root causes of stress and disconnection can we truly heal from the inside out. She is a founding member and ambassador for Plant-Based Health Professionals UK and a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.Gemma's second book, Get Well, Stay Well: The Six Healing Health Habits Everyone Should Know (Ebury, 2024), combines medicine, psychology, and nutrition. It provides simple, actionable tips and a unique wellness template to help you transform your life.On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Gemma and Kate speak about:Gemma's GLOVES framework for holistic and lifestyle wellbeingThe role of functional medicine and ADHDHow to talk to your GP regarding an ADHD diagnosisSelf-compassion as a neurodivergent person Gemma's journey to spiritual practice, holistic and functional healthEmotional Freedom Technique or Tapping and the many benefits for ADHDThe benefits of plant-focused eating Knowing the areas of health that will help YOU the mostHow does our emotional and spiritual wellbeing impact our physical health You can find out more about Gemma on her website, gemmanewman.com.Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.Mentioned in this episode:Regulating Your ADHD Nervous SystemKate's new four-part workshop series is available via this link Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System Workshop

The Powerful Connection Between Migraines and ADHD

Migraines and ADHD are something I hear about a lot in my ADHD female community. I also relate to this from a personal perspective with one of my ADHD daughters suffering from migraines, as well as quite a few friends. Migraines can be a lifelong debilitating condition alongside the many other symptoms that come with them. Today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode explores the very powerful connection between migraines and neurodivergence in women with my guest, Diane Ducarme, the contemporary master of migraine investigation. Her unique approach combines the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting-edge technology to unearth the intricate root causes of migraines weaving on top of genetics. Diane’s relentless inquisitive mind for highly complex problems is what allows her to deliver life-transforming results, which is the fuel to her energy.What sets Diane apart is her emphasis on the power of functional foods. Unlike conventional approaches focusing on eliminating foods, Diane adds new elements to the equation. Her dedication to unravelling the mysteries of migraines has inspired a podcast, "Migraine Heroes," and her company, Nectar Health, is at the forefront of this remarkable journey towards migraine relief and wellness.On this episode, Kate and Diane speak about:A digestive superfood that could help your migrainesThe vagus nerve and the connection to migrainesWhy migraines could be related to your ADHD How your digestive system can hold the keys to health The connection between your brain function and your food The profound wisdom of Chinese traditional medicineHow Hormonal shifts affect your gut and brainHaving period cycles that can actually feel goodThe effects of endometriosis on the digestive system What chinese traditional medicine can teach you about ADHDFind out more about Diane and her work on her website www.mynectarhealth.comKate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.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. Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereFind Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine hereMentioned in this episode:20% off Kate's content for Neurodivergent celebration week Use the code NDWEEK20 ND Week 20

The power of hope after an ADHD diagnosis with Gail Muller

The word 'hope' to so many of us can feel ambiguous and distant and yet in this conversation, my guest Gail Muller, a Cornish adventurer, author, speaker, and coach, breaks down the power of hope through a late in life ADHD diagnosis. This is a riveting conversation where we learn that we can always choose hope from the depths of life's challenges. Gail has spent twenty years in education: teaching, leading, and consulting globally, helping raise aspirations and encouraging life-long learning for all. She passionately advocates for the belief that our broken bits can also be superpowers. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, she also struggled for fifteen years with debilitating chronic pain.

Gail advocates for living a life that’s courageous and true to oneself. She runs popular online courses and residential retreats in Cornwall and gives talks and workshops worldwide, encouraging people to dig into their creativity, build resilience, and grow in confidence.

Harnessing our ADHD Intuition and Inner Wisdom

Trusting our native intuition, learning about how our gut feelings show up, and harnessing and accessing more of it can be vital energy for those of us who are neurodivergent and often think only with our (busy!) minds.Having such overactive brains means we can often detach from our bodies and gut or intuitive feelings and become burdened with self-doubt. By trusting in our deep intuition and inner wisdom, we can give our brains and overthinking some time out and go back within and learn to trust our body's signalling.This week’s guest is Dr Robyn Mckay. An authority on spiritual intelligence, Robyn McKay is a top advisor to high EQ executives and leaders at Fortune 500 companies and elite-level performers in entrepreneurship, sports and entertainment.Robyn is known as a “whole brain” coach and has a PhD in counselling psychology, where she studied diverse concepts ranging from spiritual intelligence and personal development to positive psychology and creativity.

Processing and Healing After a Late-in-Life ADHD Diagnosis

Acceptance and self-compassion play a huge part in processing our late-in-life ADHD diagnosis.Piecing together the various components to which we have attributed shame and judgement and reframing that through an updated neurodivergent lens does take time, healing and patience. The 'after process' of an ADHD diagnosis can bring up lots of deep-rooted and painful emotions, which can take time to acknowledge and release.On this week’s episode of the ADHD Womens Wellbeing Podcast, we have Dr Fiona Peters, a former BBC journalist who left to pursue a PhD at the University of London between two periods of maternity leave. Dr Peters has also published an academic book and is a speaker and trainer for schools. She is touring with her talk entitled 'Perfectionism and Anxiety'. She is also a consultant for diversity, equality, and inclusion in the workplace, specialising in ADHD.Since being diagnosed with ADHD herself, Dr Peters is using her creativity, drive and ambition to create a new online community for entrepreneurs ADHDLIFE and to grow awareness of the impact of ADHD on business and personal life, both positive and negative.On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Peters speak about:Why it's ok to not finish every project you start How having an understanding of ADHD frames your healing Why meditation and therapy might not be working for you Fiona's path to her Ph.D. and why she loved following a different path Trying a failing to fit in and doing it your way Self-worth, self-acceptance and Being an ADHD entrepreneurBeing a work in progressYou can connect with Dr Peters on social media via Instagram or LinkedIn. For more information on all of Kate's ADHD resources, workshops and programmes, check out her website: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) women find more calm, balance, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereHave a read of Kate’s articles in ADDitude magazine here

Breaking ADHD Perfectionism and Burnout Cycles

Perfectionism combined with ambition, control, over-achievement, restless energy, productivity-guilt and burnout are tendencies I see and hear about a lot in ADHD women.

ADHD Loud and Proud with Kara Marni

I've always been a firm believer that once we're aware of our neurodivergence, we all need to be 'Tapping into our ADHD Gold'. I even created a workshop (check it out here) specifically about this, as I believe that when we reframe our strengths and stop focussing as much on all our challenges and what we can't do, the ADHD genius is given more space to expand!And this is what we talk about in today’s episode with my guest, Kara Marni, a rising soul and R&B vocalist who has been on a steady ascension since 2019 when she headlined the Pussy Parlure stage at Glastonbury before embarking on a sold-out UK & European tour. In this period, the singer/writer has gone on to support many notable artists, from Lewis Capaldi to Rita Ora, Raye and Ray BLK to name a few, with a string of festivals and high-profile performances to her name, including Reading & Leeds and Glastonbury. Kara is a family girl who grew up in a house of music (& food) lovers and credits her Greek ancestry for a confident personality, big appetite and big hair. Seldom short of something to say, Kara is a self-professed chatterbox, injecting her creativity and high energy into her lyricism. A self-taught guitarist, Kara recently partnered with supporters Fender as a part of their impressive roster.On today's ADHD women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Kara speak about:Focusing the energy of ADHD children in schoolFinding the right educational environment for ADHDKara's passion for music and perfromingThe joy of channelling your hyper-focus positively Being creative over academic in the school systemBeing mindful without meditation Leaning into self-care to prevent burnoutKnowing your energy and how to work with it Choosing to be sober with ADHDYou can find out more about Kara on Instagram, @karamarni Try Get Dopa here with 10% discount: https://bit.ly/adhdwomenswellbeing10Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) women find more calm, balance, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereHave a read of Kate’s articles in ADDitude magazine here

Changing neurodivergent lives through education reform

Our guest today wants to reform education to support neurodiverse students better. She believes empowering individuals to learn about their unique intelligence will change their lives. Today's guest is Simran Deol, a student at Harvard University who graduated with a Master's Degree in Human Development & Education and has spent many years working in Developmental and Educational Psychology.Before attending Harvard, Simran was a struggling student, failing school. She barely graduated high school and was put on academic probation during undergrad. When she was 19, she was diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorder in reading, writing, math, and ADHD. After this significant life change, she understood how her brain worked and got her needed support to turn her life around.Since then, she has been working on a series of neurodiversity awareness projects, such as creating her organization, "The Abstract Genius", speaking on podcasts and conferences and writing articles. In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Simran speak about:Struggling in the educational system Having to work extra hard and still failingHow ADHD affects sleep, noticing and working with your sleep patternsMedication personal choices Trusting our intuitive instinctsThe way Simran's diagnosis changed her educational experience Healing from past "failures" once you know it's ADHDHow Simran's parents reacted to her diagnosisHow Simran wants to transform education and learning techniquesMaking learning more neurodivergent friendly * All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here *Thanks to my sponsor, Brain.FM: You can start your free trial via https://brain.fm/adhdwomenswellbeing Discount code: adhdwomenswellbeingKate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled (many with ADHD like her) women find more calm, balance, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereHave a read of Kate’s articles in ADDitude magazine here

Wisdom from a 102-year-old neurodivergent doctor

**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk**It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a still-consulting doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation.I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who is 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared - I had many epiphanies after each chapter. After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain - she shares her dyslexia, learning and education journey - I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! This episode was recorded at 8 am Dr Gladys's time in Arizona and she was as fresh as a daisy, with all the recording tech in place.During our conversation, Dr Gladys shares her story of having been held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how through her different way of learning and being curious, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. She is also the co-founder and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, and the founder of The International Academy of Clinical Hypnosis. She has spoken at TEDx.In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Gladys discuss:How love improves all aspects of lifeWhat Gladys believes to be the true life force Being a pioneer of Holistic medicineSpeaking out for what you believe inAccepting what you can't change Positive reinforcements in childhood The power of being accepted Gladys's experience of education while being undiagnosed dyslexic in a rural Indian village If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Big Picture ADHD Thinking: plant the seed and watch it grow

**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk**When we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles. We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail. Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!Andrea is a former TV director from London who escaped to the Oxfordshire countryside with her family in 2013 for a better life. She ran a successful wedding video company with a team of six and produced nearly 300 weddings a year until Covid hit, and she was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to close the business. To support her mental wellbeing and give her something to focus on during this time, she poured her heart and soul into her garden, which eventually became her next venture, Dahlia Beach - a Plant Your Own Flower Garden based in Oxfordshire. During this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode, I chat with the inspiring Andrea all about: Being a multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneur Seeing gaps in the marketOwning our failures, why we shouldn't be afraid to fail and accepting the mistakes we make Following our dreams with ADHD and harnessing our ADHD traitsBeing a maverick and staying true to our convictionsUsing hyper-focus to flourish and being brave in our choices Perimenopause, HRT and ADHDAdmin breakdowns in business and finding people to help fill the gapsCreating an ADHD-friendly business**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk**If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

** All details of how to sign up for my brand-new, groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series are now on my website**Do you feel your nervous system is constantly heightened and dysregulated?

My ADHD insights on prioritising time out, rest and our hormones for better mental wellbeing

Welcome back to a new series of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast. In this intro solo episode before the official start of the series on Thursday, I wanted to share my insights from taking some time out.With ADHD, we can find it difficult to stop, slow down, pause, rest and breathe.Very often, we only stop when an external factor stops us. Maybe that’s an injury, illness, ill family member, work crisis or even a pandemic!Our ADHD nervous system has been fine-tuned to keep running on high alert, despite feeling fraught and exhausted most of the time.But with awareness of ADHD comes power. Power to prevent. Power to see what we haven’t been able to understand before. Burnout cycles we thought were because we couldn’t keep up. Always more to do, be, produce, create and show. Never enough. Never on top of things. I must keep doing more. And then what? We break down, we collapse and we burn out and we’re no good to anyone. And then the cycle of shame happens.I took a break and for the first time, I didn’t feel guilty. I knew I deserved this break. I was worthy of relaxing and restoring. I knew that this was in the best interest of everyone around me, including my clients, family and friends. It was needed and it was wonderful. I felt rejuvenated and re-energised—no guilt or fear of judgement.In this solo episode (guest episode returning on Thursday) I talk about how to find a break if you can’t escape for a few days. I call them micro pauses that we can all do and become more intentional about every day. I am actively retraining myself to find more time to breathe, pause and recalibrate every day so I can show up for my family and my work - both of which are hugely important to me. Not only this, but also for my mental health, mood regulation, anxiety, nervous system and physical health (my back). I’m finally ready to prioritise this and invite you to do the same.I also talk about ADHD, women's health and hormones and will be talking about this more in the next few months. Watch this space for a new project that I'm working on.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed yet unfulfilled ADHD women find more calm, balance, energy, health, compassion, creativity and clarity in their lives. Join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective here.Have a look at some of Kate's free resources here.Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereHave a read of Kate’s articles in ADDitude magazine here

Making life work for you after an ADHD diagnosis

"Don't try to fit into the world; make the world fit into you."This week’s guest is Sarah Templeton, author of the hit book ‘How NOT to Murder Your ADHD Kid – Instead Learn to be Your Child’s Own ADHD Coach’ released in 2021. She realised the key to stopping ADHD adolescents from becoming homeless, unemployed, on drugs and in prison was to educate the parents.  If parents could recognise their kids getting into these sorts of issues very early on and change their child’s life path by pursuing an early diagnosis, medication and managing their ADHD properly from the start, the result would mean the prisons, homeless hostels and rehabs would NOT be packed to the rafters with ADHD. Sarah is a vocal advocate for change and believes The ADHD Act is long overdue. She is on the APPG for ADHD at the Houses of Parliament and has vowed to be the voice for the tens of thousands of young offenders and adult offenders with undiagnosed ADHD – who cannot get their voices heard within the prison system. Yet without the correct ADHD diagnosis and medication, their life is destined to be one spent persistently in and out of prison.During this episode, Kate and Sarah speak about:ADHD within the prison systemHarnessing ADHD to re-focus your lifeWhy you may not recognize your amazing skills and abilities with ADHDWomen coping with an ADHD diagnosisThe relief after getting a diagnosis The price of ignoring our ADHDCriticism and the impact that has on us historicallyLeaning into our strengths and listening to the positives Making the world work for you The pressure on un-diagnosed ADHD women to cope Using your dopamine-seeking ADHD brain for goodSarah's plans for the ADHD Act in the prison system and policeYou can connect with Sarah via her websites www.sarahtempleton.org.uk and www.headstuffadhdtherapy.co.uk. If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you get access to monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

Advocating for your neurodiversity in the workplace

"Embracing and working with our strengths teaches us to thrive with ADHD."Speaking about an autism or ADHD diagnosis within the workplace can feel daunting, exposing and scary. However, when we advocate for ourselves within our work setting, we are enabling the support, care and accommodations we deserve. Working with - and no longer - against our brains means we can excel more in our careers without the burnout and exhaustion that typically comes with neurodiversity. Often the way we work can look different to others, but that doesn't mean it's less effective. The more we talk about this and allow different options to be implemented, the healthier, happier and more productive we feel within our work environment. This week’s guest, Samantha Hiew is the Director of ADHD Girls, a company founded with a social mission to empower girls and women with ADHD through effective advocacy, education and specialists’ insights.With a background in healthcare communications and a PhD in Cancer Research, Samantha is passionate about helping individuals with ADHD access employment and training organisations to provide the support they need to thrive in their circumstances, thereby increasing happiness and wellbeing and improving productivity.During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Samantha spoke about: Feeling alone after an ADHD diagnosis The power of anecdotal experiencesThe benefits of being around others like you and community  Sam's autism diagnosis and her surpriseADHD and Autism often going hand in handNeeding to have a passion, fulfilment to stave off depressionSam's mission with ADHD diagnosisRecognition Responsive Euphoria and what it is and looks like Navigating ADHD and Neurodiveristy in the workplaceHow employers can boost their ADHD employee's confidence Advocating for yourself in the workplaceEmbracing our strengths and interests to thrive with ADHDYou can connect with Samantha via adhdgirls.co.uk or on social media via Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter, @adhd_girlsThanks to our sponsor, Brain.

Rediscovering yourself after years of medication

"Find something you're passionate about...and you're going to do it really well."This week’s episode is with Audrey Stimpson, an internationally published master photographer by trade who has now made it her sole mission to share her story of Adderall addiction and how she freed herself after 23 years. Memphis-based Audrey, trained as a fashion photographer, working in the elite fashion and modelling industry of NYC for 8 years. She had the privilege of shooting for top brands and major publications like Vogue, Elle, Forbes, and Robb Report to name a few. In 2018, she co-founded Madison and Melrose, an A-Z digital marketing/branding company that specializes in content creation. She has a growing platform of over 23k followers, the majority based in NYC and the MidSouth. Audrey had been prescribed Adderall to treat her ADHD since the age of seven, the same year the drug first entered the market, making her one of the longest case studies. For a while, Adderall made her feel invincible. From the photoshoot straight to the after-party, Audrey was using Adderall to slay! But, after 23 years of use, the amphetamine had taken its toll, leading to psychosis, gut health issues, body dysmorphia, Addorexia, and a never-ending cycle of shame. Now trained as a functional medicine coach, she helps others on their Adderall-free journey and writing the guidebook that she wished she’d had. She is developing an ADHD nutrition coaching program, and she recently launched a blog dedicated to helping those directly affected by Adderall addiction. She is also addressing real fears in real-time on TikTok, the preferred social media for those with ADHD,  reaching upwards of 80,000 people per post. Kate and Audrey talked about: Being medication-free after 23 years of being on ADHD medsHow she came off the meds and being scared of operating without themHer training as a Functional Nutrition Coach to help with ADHDUsing EMDR therapy for addiction Overcoming her dependency on medicationGut healing and autoimmune issues alongside ADHDThe power of our diet and lifestyle to help with ADHDHer book, How-To-Thrive-Off-Adderall guidebook, Accidental ADDict.Connect with Audrey via Instagram or on her website Audreystimpson.com, where you can also sign up for her FREE video guide on how to become Adderall free using EMDR Therapy.This is not medical advice.
