The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

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.

Same Diagnosis, Different Journeys with You’re Wrong About ADHD's Sam Pittis & Katie Breathwick

In this episode of More Yourself, I'm sharing a clip from a recent SEED Talk I presented back in July, focusing on how we can work with our uniquely wonderful ADHD brains, rather than against them. 

Understanding our ADHD brain is a key element of healing, but we don't have to face this as though it is something new. We have always been neurodivergent, but we may not have had the language or awareness to understand it before. 

The modern world asks us to constantly perform, engage in challenging environments and overcompensate to fit in, but this can be exhausting. When we begin to find self-compassion, honour our unique experiences, we can tune into our bodies and take small, intentional steps toward self-care, self-regulation, and authenticity. In turn, self-trust releases the need for external validation and reclaims a life that feels more aligned, more spacious, and more true to who we are.

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

What I discuss:

 • Some of the deepest pressures we carry come from within, shaped by internalised expectations and perfectionism.
 • How to better understand your personal bandwidth by noticing the people, environments, and choices that either energise or deplete you.
 • How to break intergenerational cycles of burnout, overwhelm and people pleasing through creating a supportive environment.
 • Understanding your priorities and asking yourself what you want to let go of.
 • How creativity, breathwork, and other self-regulation tools can gently support you through anxiety and depression.
 • The healing power of self-advocacy, and what can happen when you give yourself full permission to rest, take up space, and just be.

Burnout, Boundaries and Bandwidth: ADHD-Informed Decision Making and Self-Trust with Anna Mathur

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we're unpacking the emotional and relational challenges many ADHD women face, especially when it comes to productivity, partnership dynamics, and understanding how ADHD shapes our daily lives.

I'm joined by Ari Tuckman, a leading psychologist, sex therapist, ADHD specialist and author of The ADHD Productivity Manual. Ari takes a realistic, compassionate approach to managing ADHD by helping individuals and couples find what truly works for them, rather than quick-fix, unhelpful ADHD hacks.

We discuss how recognising and understanding ADHD can transform both productivity and personal connection, from romantic relationships to how we respect ourselves. Ari shares powerful tools from his latest book, The ADHD Productivity Manual, and offers practical guidance for living with more clarity, communication, and compassion.

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

Key Takeaways:

 • How couples can navigate ADHD together and build stronger, more understanding relationships.
 • The turning point in a relationship when ADHD becomes a lens for explanation, not blame.
 • The impact of a non-ADHD partner empowering their partner, while the ADHD partner takes active responsibility.
 • The truth about "productivity hacks": why they often fall short, and what really helps in daily life.
 • Exploring the ADHD-autism crossover and what it means to be AuDHD.
 • What to do when your partner isn’t interested or supportive of your diagnosis.
 • Why having an ADHD-affirming therapist can be transformative for both individuals and couples.

The Truth About ADHD Productivity Hacks with Ari Tuckman

In this episode of More Yourself, I wanted to share a clip from a recent ADHD Women's Wellbeing live session that explored the concept of generativity versus stagnation —a theme that is very prevalent among late-diagnosed ADHD women.

This concept, rooted in Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and contribute to our own lives and to others as we move through the different stages of adulthood. For those of us who received a diagnosis later in life, this understanding can be transformative. It reminds us that our diagnosis isn’t the end, it’s the beginning of a new chapter.

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

What I discuss:

 • Erikson’s 8 stages of psychosocial development viewed through a neurodivergent lens.
 • The impact of unconscious masking on ADHD traits and energy levels.
 • The concept of generativity vs. stagnation for late-diagnosed ADHD women.
 • Seeing a late diagnosis as a new chapter for authenticity and evolution.
 • The role of meaningful connection in women's reconnection with their identity post-diagnosis.
 • The power of embracing change in midlife and beyond.

Creating Meaningful Connections: How ADHD Awareness Can Transform Your Life

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we're unpacking the emotional and practical challenges many ADHD women face, from struggling to plan meals to dealing with shame around eating habits, and how to begin healing with grace and self-compassion.

I'm joined by Dr. Helen Lawal, an NHS doctor, nutritionist, and neurodivergent health coach with over 15 years of experience in women’s health, nutrition, and neurodiversity. Helen takes a neuroaffirming, compassionate approach to simplify nutrition and help ADHD women work with their brains, not against them. Helen's private practice supports late-diagnosed ADHD women who feel out of control with food, helping them reduce cravings, emotional eating, and lose weight without diets, shame, or overwhelm.

From executive function challenges around cooking to the emotional rollercoaster of bingeing and restricting, we dive deep into the real-life struggles and strategies that support your day-to-day life and healing after a late diagnosis.

How To Improve Your ADHD Lifestyle Without Pressure OR Guilt

In this episode of More Yourself, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and sometimes uncomfortable) tools in the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit, developing self-trust.

We’ll explore how so many of us late-diagnosed ADHD women have been conditioned to doubt ourselves, to mask, and to override our inner knowing. But what happens when we start listening to our bodies, following our curiosity, and letting go of the need to get it all “right”?

This conversation is about experimenting without pressure, embracing the lessons in things not going to plan, and gently tuning in to your own guidance. It's about creating a life that works for you, not what the world expects.

So here’s your invitation: What would it feel like to trust yourself... even just a little more?

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

What I discuss:

 • Thriving with ADHD by embracing your ADHD, not performing or masking.
 • Leaning into self-trust (despite fear) to build clarity, confidence, and resilience.
 • The role of playful trial-and-error to learn without the pressure to be perfect.
 • Using failures to learn, grow and discover new information.
 • Using somatic tools and breathwork to regulate and reconnect.
 • What setting unapologetic boundaries looks like.
 • Taking small steps and recognising how your body responds.

Leaning Into Self-Trust: A More Yourself Episode

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re shining a light on the critical but often ignored intersection between ADHD and the criminal justice system.

I’m joined by Sarah Templeton, CEO of ADHD Liberty, counsellor, author of The Prison Counsellor, and tireless campaigner for ADHD awareness in prisons, probation, and homelessness services. Sarah shares how her powerful personal and professional journey of late diagnosed ADHD has led her to dedicate her work to supporting those misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by a system that labels ADHD traits as “bad” behaviour rather than unmet needs.

With a fierce belief in rehabilitation, Sarah discusses common ADHD traits that can trigger "bad behaviour", practical ways ADHD can be managed behind bars without medication, and how improved understanding of ADHD can transform self-esteem, life outcomes, and even steer individuals from criminality to entrepreneurship.

Her work is paving the way for a world where ADHD isn’t punished but supported, and where young people are guided away from the school-to-prison pipeline.

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

What You'll Learn:

 • Why society must stop labelling ADHD as “naughty” and start supporting it as a neurological condition
 • Why ADHD traits like impulsivity and boundary-pushing are often misread as “bad behaviour”
 • How poor self-esteem and shame in undiagnosed ADHD can drive offending
 • Sarah's work to create ADHD awareness videos in prisons 
 • How parenting can be the turning point between criminality and creativity
 • The urgent need for ADHD screening in schools, prisons, probation, addiction and homelessness services
 • What managing ADHD without medication or exercise looks like in prison (e.g. breathwork, mindset strategies)
 • The role of ADHD awareness in rehabilitation 
 • The importance of research into ADHD and criminality, and the transformational effects of diagnosis and rehabilitation

Understanding ADHD as a condition rather than a moral failing can significantly enhance self-esteem and promote recovery for those affected, as well as improve the criminal justice system. To help the School-to-Prison Pipeline, click here.

In this episode of More Yourself, we're opening up The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit and flicking to Chapter 7 to build a life that works for you.

This conversation is rooted in the idea that your ADHD isn’t something to fix, it’s something to understand, embrace, and honour. We explore what happens when we release the guilt, shame, and constant striving, and instead begin to create a compassionate blueprint that supports who we truly are.

This episode is a gentle invitation to ask: What am I ready to let go of? What boundaries do I need to protect my energy? And most importantly, what kind of life do I want to build, just for me?

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

What I discuss:

 • How guilt, shame, and masking can disconnect us from our true ADHD selves.

 • How to create an ADHD-informed, compassionate blueprint for life.
 • What you’re no longer willing to accept, and the unapologetic boundaries you’re ready to set.
 • Letting go of the pressure to do more and finding energy in simplicity and self-trust.
