Healing Your Money Trauma: Why Finances Feel So Overwhelming with ADHD
2d ago00:53:12Tap to summarizeDid you grow up feeling like you were “bad with money” before you ever understood your ADHD?What if the overspending, the avoidance, the paralysis, the guilt are actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do in response to fear, long before you ever had a bank account of your own?This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Morgan, a global speaker, author, and founder of The Money Panel®.Catherine spent 17 years as a financial adviser, so she knows the technical side of money inside out. But over time, she kept noticing the same thing: people would get the "right" advice but not be able to act on it.Catherine recognised that something else was getting in the way, which is what her work is all about now. She founded The Money Panel®, wrote the international bestseller It's Not About the Money, and has built a whole framework around the idea that our money patterns don't live in our spreadsheets... They live in our bodies.In this episode, we explore:Why money feels like a difficult conversation, and what it's really aboutHow fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial livesThe concept of "money as energy"Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real stepWhy women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs usHow financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somaticallyWhy 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one openingHow AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living insideHow EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the bodyWhat it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionaryCatherine brings a rare combination of financial expertise, deep psychological understanding, and lived experience to this conversation. For those of us whose relationship with money has always felt bigger, heavier, and more personal than it should, this episode offers something genuinely different to the standard budgeting apps and hacks that just don't work.This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

The Messy Reality of Parenting Neurodivergent Kids - 'Everyone Gets A Juice Box' Takeover
5d ago00:34:45Tap to summarizeHave you ever looked back at the parent you were before you understood your child's neurodivergence and felt a quiet, heavy wave of regret? Not because you were a bad parent, but because you just didn't have the information you needed yet.In this week's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re doing something a little different! I want to share an episode of another podcast (from Understood.org) with you called Everyone Gets a Juice Box, and I want to share it with you as I know so many of you not only have ADHD, but are also raising kids who are neurodivergent.In this episode, Jessica is joined by Dion Chavis. A few years ago, Dion's son was diagnosed with autism, his teenage daughter received an ADHD diagnosis, and shortly after, in his early 40s, Dion was diagnosed with ADHD himself. Instead of looking away, he looked back with honesty, compassion, and a willingness to do things differently.In this episode, we explore:Why a late diagnosis so often sends us back through our children's childhoods and why that grief is validThe difference between parenting from selfishness and parenting from selflessness, and how awareness changes everythingWhy social connection matters just as much as academic achievement for neurodivergent childrenHow Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria shows up in ADHD teenagers and what it looks like in friendshipsThe power of openly normalising conversations about diagnosis, medication and therapy within your familyWhy giving your child grace starts with giving yourself grace firstHow fathers of neurodivergent children are finding each other — and why that community changes everythingIf you've ever whispered "I should have known better" to yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were doing the best you could, with what you had, in the moment you were in. And that is enough.This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

Were You ‘Too Much’ — Or Just Misunderstood? ADHD, Trauma & Finding Your True Self
1w ago00:51:57Tap to summarizeWhat if the labels you’ve carried throughout your life didn't have to define your story?In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Miranda Arieh, a multi-award-winning motivational speaker, mental health educator, and transformation coach. Miranda is the founder of the pioneering HEROES Programme and an advocate for changing how we view mental health, neurodiversity and emotional regulation.Miranda uses her lived experience to fuel her passion for helping others make lasting transformations to their lives by learning how to effectively work with all our human experiences of emotional suffering.This conversation is an invitation to look back at your past through a lens of neurodivergence—not to find "fault," but to find the compassion and forgiveness needed to move forward.In this episode, we explore:How turning anger into passion can shift the narrative around emotional dysregulation and neurodivergence.What "trauma-informed care" actually looks like in practice and why it’s vital for the ND community.Miranda’s perspective on how high-masking ADHD and autism intersect with complex childhood trauma.Why Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) feels different in a neurodivergent nervous system and why "not everyone feels it" the same way.The cost of masking for safety, the pain of forgetting your true self, and the beauty of rediscovery.Learning the importance of coregulating with ourselves to find internal stability.How a formal diagnosis can be the "missing piece" that provides clarity and self-acceptance.The SAVE Method - a practical strategy for regulating emotions and practising effective self-advocacy.How to create healthy boundaries and space for the right people without abandoning yourself in the process.This episode is a vital reminder that your emotional experiences are valid, and by understanding the "why" behind your brain and your history, lasting transformation becomes possible.Timestamps02:15 - Exploring Trauma and Neurodivergence15:00 - Understanding Rejection Sensitivity in Neurodivergence33:37 - The Journey to Authenticity40:53 - Navigating Relationships with Others and Self44:36 - Introduction to the SAVE MethodThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

2w ago00:54:48Tap to summarizeWhat happens when you’re both a doctor… and the patient who isn’t being listened to?In this episode of ADHD Women’s Wellbeing, I’m joined by Dr Liz Murray, a doctor, activist, artist, and founder of Mortal + Strong. After 15 years navigating chronic illness, including lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriage, Liz shares what it’s like to experience the healthcare system from both sides.This conversation is about what often gets missed, female health symptoms that are normalised, the moments of dismissal that stay with you, and why for many neurodivergent women, why navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming, invalidating, and exhausting.In this episode, we explore:Liz's journey of living with lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriageLiz's experience of navigating the healthcare system as both doctor and patientThe impact of normalising heavy and painful periods on delayed endometriosis and fibroids diagnosesThe gaps in menstrual health education and what doctors aren’t taught to look forThe reality of medical gatekeeping and the “micro-traumas” of feeling dismissedWhy GPs are under pressure to know everything, and how that impacts patient careThe challenge for women with ADHD may experience in communicating symptoms in short appointmentsHow ADHD can make women more sensitive to hormonal changesPractical advice for appointments to communicate more effectivelyThe importance of self-advocacy in medical settingsWhy a holistic approach to women’s health matters (including diet, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle)How we can better support the next generation to advocate for their healthThis episode is both validating and practical, offering insight, language, and tools to help you feel more confident advocating for your health.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing07:41 - Navigating the Challenges of Endometriosis14:11 - Understanding Women's Health: The Overlap of Hormones and Neurodiversity23:21 - Navigating Hormonal Health: The Patient's Perspective37:47 - Addressing the Rift in Doctor-Patient Relationships40:03 - Understanding Endometriosis and Women's Health49:17 - Managing Health Holistically: The Interconnection of ConditionsSupport and information on topics raised in today's episode: The Miscarriage Association Website The Miscarriage Association helpline and support servicesEndometriosis UK Support NetworkThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

ADHD Isn’t Laziness: Understanding Neurodivergence at Work, in Parenting & Within Yourself with Kristen Pressner
3w ago00:50:21Tap to summarizeFor so many women, ADHD has been misunderstood for decades — often internalised as laziness, failure, or not trying hard enough.But what if that story was never true to begin with?In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Kristen Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity for a conversation on ADHD, leadership, parenting, and why understanding your brain can change how you live, work, and relate to yourself.Kristen brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation, sharing what it’s been like raising four neurodivergent children while navigating a high-powered career, and how this journey has reshaped the way she understands ADHD, both at home and in the workplace.This is a conversation that gently challenges some of the narratives many of us have grown up with, particularly the idea that ADHD is about laziness or lack of discipline, and instead invites us to explore what might be possible when we approach ourselves (and others) with more curiosity, compassion, and understanding.In this episode, we explore:Kristen's experience of supporting her family through their neurodivergence diagnosisThe different emotions that can come with an ADHD diagnosisWhy understanding the biology of ADHD can help us work with our brainsThe impact of undiagnosed neurodivergence on mental health and relationshipsWhy so many people may not recognise themselves in traditional narrativesHow creating non-judgmental environments can reduce shame in those with ADHDHow to feel safe to survive, which allows you to thriveWhy knowing your needs can be tricky, and how to gently explore thisPractical ways workplaces and managers can support neurodivergent employees with meaningful, individualised accommodationsHow Kristen has brought her lived experience into her leadership work to support others more effectivelyThe concept of a “brain friend” and how having someone alongside you can make navigating life with ADHD feel less overwhelmingHow tools like AI can support neurodivergent people to process thoughts, communicate needs, and better understand themselvesThis episode is a reminder that there is nothing “wrong” with your brain, and that with the right support, understanding, and space to explore what actually works for you, things can begin to feel a little more possible.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing00:48 - Kristen's Family's Journey of Neurodivergence12:30 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Family Dynamics29:40 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Parenting37:51 - Understanding Neurodivergence and Its Impact on RelationshipsThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

Dyslexia, ADHD & Why Life Feels Harder Than It Should (Even When You’re Capable)
Apr 1500:50:22Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason life feels harder than it “should” isn’t a personal failing… but something that’s been missed all along?In this eye-opening episode, Dr Jacob Santhouse reveals how dyslexia goes far beyond reading and writing, and why so many women with ADHD may be living with an undetected piece of their story.If I asked you to describe dyslexia, what would you say? Letters, reading and numbers? You're not alone, but this week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Jacob Santhouse is here to show us just how much more there is to the story.Dyslexia touches learning, self-esteem, executive functioning, and the exhausting daily admin of simply getting through life, and often goes hand in hand with ADHD, creating a unique and complex set of challenges for those navigating life with both.Dr Jacob Santhouse is a dyslexic counsellor and coach, who supports dyslexic individuals in developing self-esteem, understanding their brains, and figuring out how to navigate life more effectively. So, if you've ever wondered why life feels so much harder than it seems to for everyone else, this episode might just give you the answer you have been waiting for.In this episode, we explore:The misunderstandings behind dyslexia and how it impacts more than reading and writingWhat a late dyslexia diagnosis can mean for adultsHow understanding dyslexia helps you to work strategically, instead of against yourselfHow dyslexia and ADHD often coexist, and how to begin to untangle the twoThe truth about colour overlays and why they are so often incorrectly associated with dyslexiaThe impact of dyslexia on automaticity, working memory and executive functioningHow masking shows up in dyslexia and promotes avoidant behavioursThe lesser-known ways dyslexia can present that even healthcare professionals need to knowTips to support long-term memory and how teachers can encourage real, lasting learningJacob's advice for anyone who is currently wondering whether dyslexia might be part of their storyThrough this conversation, Jacob's knowledge and awareness will help you develop strategies and a deeper understanding of your experiences, and potentially provide the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing02:42 - Understanding Dyslexia Beyond Reading and Writing11:25 - Understanding Dyslexia and ADHD28:19 - The Intersection of Dyslexia and Gender: Challenges Faced by Women35:14 - Exploring the Nuances of Dyslexia39:21 - Understanding NeurodivergenceThe ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!My first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event sold out, and now the full experience is available to you wherever you are, whenever it feels right.Alongside three neuro-affirming experts, we spent four hours exploring the questions that matter most to late-diagnosed women.
