The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of our top episodes of 2025 with clinical psychologist, Dr Russell Ramsay.

Together, we explore the powerful link between ADHD and anxiety, and why so many women experience both. This conversation offers a validating look at how ADHD’s constant uncertainty can fuel anxious thoughts, self-doubt and overthinking, and why there is nothing “wrong” with you for feeling this way.​

We unpack how anxiety can act as an alarm system, what it might be trying to signal based on past experiences, and how tools like CBT, emotional labelling and distanced self-talk can help you move through anxious moments with more clarity and self-compassion.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

 • Why anxiety and ADHD are so often intertwined stemming from a fear of uncertainty 
 • An explanation of why stimulants (for some people) can lower anxiety by improving focus and reducing mental chaos
 • Understanding what your anxiety is trying to protect you from and how to build self-confidence 
 • Where RSD and social anxiety come from and why it they can feel more intense for ADHD women
 • Seeing anxiety as an alarm system rather than a personal failing to support more confident choices 
 • How tolerating discomfort can help you get started with anxiety-provoking tasks
 • Simple tools like emotional labelling and distance self-talk to calm your inner chatter and reduce catastrophic thinking

ADHD and Anxiety: Understanding the Overlap and How We Can Help Ourselves

In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of this year’s most listened-to conversations with ADHD coach Meredith Carder, all about redefining what rest really looks like for our ADHD brains. 

The holiday season can feel especially intense and overwhelming, so this Christmas Day replay is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow down, honour your needs, and choose rest that actually works for you.​

Together, we explore why traditional ideas of “rest” often don’t work for ADHD women and how you can start redefining recovery, energy, and self-care in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable.​

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

 • What rest can look like for ADHD beyond just lying on the sofa
 • Different types of rest including mental rest, active rest, and energising activities that help you reset rather than shut down
 • How to experiment with what truly recharges you instead of defaulting to what you think you “should” be doing
 • Why building confidence and self-trust is essential so you can give yourself permission to rest differently and honour your own rhythms
 • The role of self-compassion in navigating low days, burnout, and motivation dips without spiralling into shame or self-criticism
 • Challenging societal expectations about productivity, careers, and “how life should look”
 • Honouring your needs to live in a way that genuinely supports their wellbeing
 • The impact of common ADHD co-occurring conditions (like anxiety and depression) 
 • How releasing shame and judgement around your needs, work, and pace can create more space for your full potential to emerge

Together, we explore how occupational therapy (OT) can be a game-changer for adults with ADHD to help us understand our sensory needs, emotional responses, and daily rhythms. We also explore Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), two powerful frameworks that offer tools for navigating emotional ups and downs with more ease and self-compassion.

Holistic Tools for ADHD Self-Regulation, Distress Tolerance & Mood with Vanessa Gorelkin

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re joined by Nick Potter, consultant osteopath and head of health and wellbeing at Brevan Howard Asset Management. 

Nick brings a fresh perspective on what’s really going on in our bodies, especially for neurodivergent women navigating stress, sensory overload, pain, and misdiagnosis.

We talk about how the brain processes pain, why hypermobility might be affecting your nervous system more than you think, and the powerful link between chronic conditions like fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, and hormonal symptoms and ADHD. 

Key takeaways:

 • What
 • proprioception is and why ADHD women need to understand it
 • The science behind pain perception and why your brain might interpret things as worse than they are
 • How hypermobility and collagen differences affect proprioception (a unspoken 6th sense)
 • Why neurodivergent women experience more chronic fatigue, pain, and hormonal symptoms
 • The emotional relief and reduced pain that come with a proper diagnosis
 • The body budget theory: how burnout happens when your energy runs low, and what to do about it
 • How childhood stress and trauma can change the way your nervous system responds to the world
 • Using HRV (heart rate variability) as a signal for stress, illness or burnout
 • The additional stress women go through from having an additional hormone (the womb), and its impact on health 
 • The importance of using anxiety and fear as a signal, not something to ignore
 • Simple, free tools to support your nervous system, such as resistance training, breathwork, and rest

This is an empowering and validating episode which explains why your body feels like it's constantly in overdrive and help you connect the dots between your body and brain in a whole new way.

Unpacking the Complexities of ADHD, Stress, Pain and Hypermobility with Nick Potter

In this week's More Yourself episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate explores one of the biggest and most powerful shifts that happens after a late ADHD diagnosis: learning to trust yourself again.

This clip from the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Summer series workshop, Boosting your Self-Belief and Self-Trust after a late-in-life ADHD Diagnosis, is all about rebuilding self-belief, understanding your inner dialogue, and shifting the unhelpful stories we’ve been telling ourselves, often our whole lives.

Many women diagnosed later in life carry years of internalised shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, we explore how to recognise and rewire limiting beliefs that have become your reality for so long, but may not actually be true. 

This conversation will help you embrace life with self-compassion, clarity, and trust in who you are, what you believe, and how you want to navigate your life.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

 • Learning how to recognise, rewire, release, and rebuild beliefs to develop stronger self-trust after an ADHD diagnosis
 • How what we believe often shapes how we see ourselves and our reality
 • Understanding how internal criticism and old thought patterns influence our choices, confidence, and emotional wellbeing
 • The power of self-trust and how to reconnect with your inner voice, which knows who you truly are
 • Using affirmations and mantras to gently shift how you speak to yourself, moving from self-doubt to self-support
 • Understanding how you want to show up, speak to yourself, and regulate your emotions with compassion and clarity
 • Why self-acceptance starts with awareness to make space for growth
 • How to reframe limiting beliefs to move towards healing and self-confidence

Creating Mindful ADHD Tech Habits for a Calmer Life

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the complex and often overlooked intersection of ADHD, hormones, and women’s mental health, particularly during pivotal life transitions like perimenopause.

I’m joined by Dr. Helen Wall, a GP and registered menopause specialist with the British Menopause Society. Helen is also a resident GP on BBC Breakfast, a columnist for Woman magazine, and public health clinical director in Greater Manchester. She therefore brings both clinical expertise and real-world empathy to bridge the gap between professional healthcare and accessible, compassionate advice to ensure women feel heard, understood, and properly supported.

We explore why so many women feel dismissed or misdiagnosed when seeking help for emotional and physical symptoms related to hormone fluctuations, and touch on everything from progesterone sensitivity and HRT, to advocating for yourself at the GP, and the growing need for women’s health education that takes neurodiversity seriously.

I discuss the crossover of ADHD and hormones in my new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, which is now available. Grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

 • Why so many women with ADHD report mental health declines during perimenopause, including PMDD, anxiety, and mood disorders.
 • The connection between hormonal sensitivity and neurodivergence, and why it's often overlooked by mainstream medicine.
 • How stereotypes and stigma contribute to late ADHD diagnosis in women, especially in midlife.
 • The shift in how menopause is being discussed and treated post-COVID.
 • The dangers of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to HRT and why personalised prescriptions matter.
 • Why clinicians must join the dots between long-term anxiety and depression and undiagnosed ADHD or hormonal issues.
 • The growing importance of patient-led care and better GP education around menopause and neurodiversity.
 • How to advocate for yourself at the doctor’s office when your concerns have been dismissed.

Advocating for Your ADHD Hormonal Health: What Women Need to Know with Dr Helen Wall

Have you been struggling to get out of bed lately, stick to your routines or noticed a shift in your mood as the days have got shorter? If your answer is yes, this episode is for you! 

In this More Yourself episode, we revisit a clip from my recent workshop about Resting Through the Seasons. We discussed the impact of natural light and seasonal shifts on sleep, circadian rhythm and emotional regulation for women with ADHD. As well as exploring the small changes you can make to have a big impact.

This isn’t about quick wins or productivity hacks. It’s about understanding your body, honouring your needs, and finding rhythms that feel good to you. 

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

 • How seasonal changes impact sleep, mood, and energy, especially for women with ADHD

Navigating Winter with ADHD: Tips for Seasonal Affective Disorder

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the emotional complexities of female friendship through the lens of ADHD!

I'm joined by Dr. Gilly Kahn, a clinical psychologist and author of Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women's ADHD, to explore how emotional dysregulation, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), and masking impact our ability to form and maintain healthy social connections, but also help us develop the deepest and most supportive friendships. 

We discuss why friendships can feel overwhelming, how the fear of being left out (or left behind) can trigger deep emotional responses, and how self-awareness and communication can help us nurture more authentic relationships.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!
Key Takeaways: • How emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity (RSD) can impact female friendships, often leading to misunderstandings and emotional overwhelm.
 • Why ADHD women often prefer direct, meaningful communication.
 • How small talk or indirect social norms can feel confusing or exhausting.
 • The common experience of feeling excluded or disconnected in group friendships, especially during times of emotional sensitivity.
 • The pressure to mask or people-please in social settings, and the toll that takes on mental wellbeing.
 • The power of gently “filtering” through friendships to focus on quality over quantity.
 • Why FOMO, birthday anxiety, and fear of people not showing up are amplified for women with ADHD.
 • How to honour your social battery by setting boundaries and creating space to recharge.
 • Building self-awareness around your social patterns can help reduce RSD triggers and protect your emotional energy.

Female Friendships and ADHD: How to Find Your Tribe and Build Meaningful Neurodivergent Connections

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the emotional, relational, and creative realities of living with ADHD, both before and after diagnosis.

I'm joined by Sam Pittis and Katie Breathwick, Classic FM broadcasters and hosts of You’re Wrong About ADHD. Sam and Katie share their very different personal journeys with ADHD, showing that everyone experiences ADHD differently. They also discuss how it’s shaped everything from relationships to their professional lives in broadcasting and beyond.

We talk about the power and impact of late diagnosis, the emotional shifts that follow, and how understanding ADHD has helped them create stronger relationship, with others and themselves. They also reflect on the unique ways ADHD shows up in creativity, especially in fast-paced careers like media and music.

Key Takeaways:

 • Katie's journey of receiving an ADHD diagnosis, from relief and understanding to grief and anger, and how it brought parts of her personality to life.
 • Sam’s experience of undiagnosed ADHD, including school struggles, sensory overload, and not fitting typical ADHD stereotypes due to overcompensation.
 • How masking and structure delayed Sam’s diagnosis, until routines broke down after becoming a parent.
 • The importance of acceptance, awareness, and open conversations after diagnosis.
 • How different treatment approaches shaped Katie and Sam’s post-diagnosis experiences in distinct ways.
 • Learning to balance stimulation and rest to avoid burnout or emotional dysregulation from boredom by developing personal coping mechanisms. 
 • The way partners can blend their strengths and skills to support each other through ADHD challenges.
 • Why broadcasting is a supportive career for ADHD by offering connection, stimulation, quick thinking, and dopamine boosts.
 • The crash that follows hyperfocus or overworking due to intense energy output.
 • Noticing signs of ADHD in famous creatives like Mozart, and what that reveals about neurodiversity across history.
