  • Embracing Imperfection: Navigating Perfectionism with ADHD
    Dec 19 2024

    Perfectionism can significantly impact women with ADHD, often serving as both a coping mechanism and a source of shame. In today's ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast episode, I speak with Natalie Englander, an accredited senior CBT therapist, about the complexities of perfectionism and its connection to ADHD. Natalie shares her journey of discovering her own ADHD diagnosis at 33 and how her perfectionist tendencies influenced her professional focus.

With practical strategies and a compassionate approach, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone looking to understand and manage their perfectionism more compassionately.

    Natalie combines her professional experience with her lived experience of ADHD to help women navigate the complexities of perfectionism, self-criticism, and mental health.

    In this episode, you’ll learn…

    ✨ How ADHD and perfectionism intersect – particularly for women

    ✨ The emotional toll of perfectionism: anxiety, depression and self-criticism

    ✨ Why perfectionism develops – and how it can become a coping mechanism

    ✨ Practical ways to manage perfectionism

    ✨How to harness the positive aspects of perfectionism

  • From Diagnosis to Empowerment: Creating Community and Connection for Women with ADHD
    Dec 5 2024

    I get asked all the time if we're ever too old for an ADHD diagnosis. I always reply the same: of course not. No one is ever too old to finally lean into their most authentic version of themselves. I discuss this with Terry Matlen, an internationally recognised expert on ADHD in women with over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, author, and coach.

    Terry’s expertise and personal insights offer practical advice and hope for women navigating ADHD, no matter their stage of life. This conversation reminds us that it’s never too late to reclaim our narrative and lead a fulfilling life.

    Author of The Queen of Distraction and Survival Tips for Women with ADHD, Terry runs ADDconsults.com, a global resource supporting women with ADHD and empowers women with ADHD to navigate life’s challenges and thrive.

    Terry has kindly shared a bonus resource exclusive to all podcast listeners. Click here to access it: https://addconsults.com/bonus-for-km-podcast/

    Together, we explore the unique experiences of women with ADHD and how societal changes have shaped the journey to diagnosis and treatment.

    On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we discuss:

    • How ADHD in women has been historically misunderstood and overlooked
    • The critical role of community support and online forums for women with ADHD
    • How hormone fluctuations during life stages like motherhood and menopause impact ADHD symptoms
    • Practical coping strategies for managing the emotional toll of ADHD
    • Women with ADHD often face societal stigma and self-doubt, impacting their self-esteem and well-being.
    • The ADHD community has evolved significantly over the past 25 years, largely due to increased awareness.
    • Hormonal changes during menopause can exacerbate ADHD symptoms, necessitating tailored treatment approaches.
    • Coaching and community support are essential for women navigating the challenges of ADHD.
    • Late diagnosis can provide a new perspective, allowing women to reclaim their potential and happiness.
    • Self-care strategies are crucial for women with ADHD, especially when managing co-existing conditions.

    Takeaways:

    • ADHD in women has often gone undiagnosed, leading to feelings of isolation.
    • Social media and community spaces provide vital support for women with ADHD.
    • Hormone changes can exacerbate ADHD symptoms, highlighting the need for tailored strategies.
    • Knowledge and connection are key to managing ADHD and thriving.

Great podcast.

I suspect I have ADHD and I'm in my 40s. After listening to some of these episodes I feel confident enough to seek an assessment and hope to get answers to a life long battle of confusion.
