This week's episode: How often do you feel completely exhausted all day, yet when you get yourself to bed early, your brain switches on, and you're unable to sleep?

You do everything you're told to: no screens, no caffeine, a cool dark room, yet your brain is still filled with thoughts, to-do lists and the things you said 5 years ago.

But the reality is, for ADHD brains, sleep isn't a habit problem... It's a neurological problem. And the standard advice around skeeo hygiene and behaviour was never built with us in mind.

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by ADHD sleep expert, Heather Darwall-Smith, a psychotherapist specialising in sleep, with a particular focus on adults with ADHD.

Heather was herself diagnosed with ADHD late in life, and that lived experience sits alongside her clinical expertise in everything she does. Her new book, The ADHD Sleep Book: A Compassionate Guide for the Wired and Overtired Brain, is the first book dedicated specifically to ADHD and sleep.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why 75% of people with ADHD experience chronic sleep problems
• Chronotypes, body clocks, and ADHD sleep disorders explained
• Heather's late ADHD diagnosis: from panic attacks and bipolar misdiagnosis to clarity
• How the ADHD stress response causes hyperarousal and disrupted sleep at night
• ADHD medication timing and sleep: why getting both right is so complex
• How family sleep beliefs and intergenerational patterns affect ADHD rest
• Phone addiction, sleep, and navigating different sleep needs as a couple
• The hidden link between ADHD, binge eating, and sleep apnea
• Why perfectionism and insomnia feed each other in the ADHD brain
• Hormones, perimenopause, and ADHD, sleep, and when to get your bloods checked

Heather brings a unique blend of neuroscience, psychology, personal experience and genuine compassion to a topic that so many of us have struggled with in silence. If you have ever felt like you're the only one who can't sleep or just need to try harder, this episode is for you.

Building a business with an ADHD brain can feel less like following a carefully laid plan and more like learning to work with ever-changing waves of energy, focus, and creativity. How do you create something sustainable for you, and what are the best foundations to start from?

This episode is part of a workshop I delivered called Just Because You Can Solve It Doesn't Mean You Should. It's a gentle but powerful reframe for ADHD women building businesses who want to work with their nervous system rather than constantly pushing against it.

You'll discover why trying to force consistency, productivity, and motivation every day may be working against you, and how understanding your natural energy patterns can help you build a business that feels more sustainable and supportive.

This episode explores:

• Why coming to understand that ADHD energy is not linear can help you embrace fluctuations in your productivity and creativity.
• How hormonal cycles greatly influence your motivation and energy levels, which is important to recognise in business.
• Why you should practice self-compassion on low-energy days and reframe motivation
• Listening to your nervous system as crucial burnout prevention method to maintaining a sustainable pace of business.

By the end of the episode, you'll have simple reminders to help you tune into your nervous system, make decisions from a place of self-awareness, and build a business that supports your wellbeing as much as your success.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly trying to keep up, this conversation offers a different approach to honour your unique rhythms and helps you create success that feels true to you.

Does thinking about money make something in your body tighten? Your chest pound and throat close?

Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay.

You are not bad with money.

You just haven't had a system built for your brain.

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Esther Bangura, neurodivergent financial educator, ADHD and money coach, and host of the Neurodivergent Money Management podcast. After years of debt, stress spending, and burnout, Esther paid off £18,000 and bought her own home. Instead of following conventional financial advice, she used systems that actually worked with her ADHD brain; and now she helps other high-earning neurodivergent women do the same.

For so many of us, spending isn't really about the thing we're buying, it's about control, relief, and finding calm for a nervous system caught in overwhelm.

In this episode, we explore:

• Esther's realisation of her spending habits and gaining a sense of control
• Why her own ADHD diagnosis transformed the way she supports her clients
• Why the same money systems doesn't work for everyone, and how to find what actually works for you
• How to understand your spending patterns and energy levels and use that data to build a strategy that sticks
• How burnout and financial stress affected Esther's fertility and her experience of miscarriage
• What needs to change in financial education for neurodivergent people
• Practical tips for ADHD business owners managing their finances

This episode is for every woman who has ever felt shame around money or avoided the conversation because it felt too exposing. Esther brings warmth, honesty and genuine practical wisdom to a topic that our community doesn't talk about anywhere near enough.

Financial peace is possible for our brains and this episode shows you what that can look like.

How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?

For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June.

What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why women have historically been excluded from research, and what that has cost us clinically
• Lotta's new research on ADHD medication during pregnancy, lactation, and across the menstrual cycle
• Why neurodivergent women may experience perimenopause symptoms earlier, and why this so often goes unrecognised
• The critical window of opportunity for hormone therapy
• Why a hormonal assessment should come before receiving ADHD medication
• The link between postmenopausal oestrogen loss and heart attacks in women
• The connections between ADHD and endometriosis, PCOS, burnout, pain and sick leave
• Why every doctor (regardless of specialism) needs to be asking about hormones
• How we can use the predictable hormonal risk windows across a woman's reproductive life to support her
• Testosterone, perimenopause, and what the research does and doesn't yet tell us
• How Lotta's new book can help you advocate for yourself in the doctor's office

This episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems.

Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening.

Have you ever stood in your own kitchen, holding a perfectly ordinary object (like a wooden spoon), and completely frozen? Not because anything dramatic happened, but because your brain just couldn't work out what to do next.

In this week's episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I have something a little different for you! It’s called ADHD Aha!, by Understood.org, and shares real, relatable stories from people with ADHD, about how their symptoms impact their lives.

In this episode, Laura is joined by Terry Matlen, a psychotherapist, ADHD coach, and one of the true pioneers in understanding ADHD in women. Terry has spent over 25 years helping women make sense of a brain the world never quite designed for them. And in this conversation, she is refreshingly honest about her own brain in ways I think a lot of us will relate to.

In this episode, we explore:

• The moment a wooden spoon became the symbol of a lifetime of undiagnosed ADHD
• Why shame is so deeply woven into the female ADHD experience, and how understanding changes everything
• How ADHD symptoms can be mistaken for anxiety, depression, or personality disorders
• The particular challenges of mothering with ADHD — especially when your children have it too
• Why asking for help isn't a weakness
• Creative ways to access support even when money is tight
• How to gently shift your expectations of yourself without giving up on the things that matter

If you've ever wondered why life feels inexplicably harder for you than it seems to for everyone else, I hope this conversation feels like finally coming home.

Have you spent years pushing through, overriding what your body is telling you, performing at full capacity, and wondering why you keep burning out?

For so many women with ADHD, the drive to do more, prove more, and be more is relentless. We have the passion, the ambition, the energy. But when that inner motor collides with a nervous system that desperately needs rest and renewal, something eventually gives way.

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Dr Pippa Grange, a doctor of performance psychology, culture coach, author, and the psychologist behind England's renaissance World Cup campaign of 2018. You may also know of Pippa Grange through her portrayal in the recent Dear England, played excellently by Jodie Whittaker!

Pippa has spent 25 years working with elite athletes, teams, and leaders across sport and industry, and her new book, Life Reclaimed: Find Freedom from Chronic Overperformance, is the culmination of everything she has learned, including from her own experience of burnout.

Pippa's framework for what she calls regenerative performance feels like it was made for our community, and it challenges everything we've been taught about what it means to be "successful".

In this episode, we explore:

• Why chronic overperformance is so prevalent in neurodivergent people and what keeps us stuck in it
• The ecological lens Pippa uses to understand performance and why nature is the master teacher
• How elite sport prioritises not just performance, but also rest and renewal to optimise output and prevent burnout
• The power of honesty to reduce masking and burnout
• The four principles of regenerative performance and listening to your needs
• Moving off autopilot and learning to check in with your nervous system by asking what it needs, rather than pushing through
• Why diversifying your modes and speeds is especially powerful for ADHD brains
• Why pulling back is not a failing, it's a smart performance strategy
• What Pippa learned from her own burnout and how she works differently now
• Three types of honesty and the subtle ways we are unfaithful to ourselves without realising
• Why "wholebeing" matters more than wellbeing

Pippa brings a rare combination of elite performance experience and genuine human warmth to this conversation. For those of us with restless minds and high ambitions who keep burning out despite doing everything right, this episode offers a completely different way of thinking about what sustainable success can look like.

After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing.

Plants have been supporting human health for thousands of years. But could they support your ADHD brain, too?

This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Ellen Rowland, a Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist who works 1:1 with neurodivergent people.

Ellen isn't here to replace anything that's already working for you. Instead, she uses evidence-based plant medicines, diet and lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system, support focus, balance energy, address hormonal, gut or other health issues, and ease emotional overwhelm, in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

In this episode, we explore:

• Ellen's personal journey, what led her to herbal medicine, and what it actually is
• The cultural history of plant-based medicine in Central America
• How modern-day life demands, such as high expectations, family demands, and constant task-switching, contribute to overwhelm in ADHD
• Small things you can weave into your day alongside herbal medicine as a scaffold for support
• Why people come to Ellen, what she can help with, and how she works collaboratively alongside GPs
• How to start supporting yourself without access to a medical herbalist, including German and Roman chamomile
• Herbs for calming down in the evening, and herbs for when you need to wake up and focus
• How essential oils and aromatherapy work, and the remarkable healing power of scent

Ellen brings a whole-person, neurodivergent-informed approach to this conversation. For those of us who feel like we're still missing something despite doing all the "right" things, this episode offers a gentle and genuinely interesting new layer of support.

Have you reached perimenopausal age and started to notice that the scaffolding and coping mechanisms you may have used for so long are not working as they used to?

If you're confused about hormones and keep hearing lots of different information on social media, this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, Adele Wimsett, whose groundbreaking Perfect Storm study explores the intersection of perimenopause and ADHD, cuts through the noise with clarity, warmth and real practical insight.

So many of us don't realise the science behind why our coping mechanisms stop working during perimenopause. We think it's an "us" problem. Adele is here to gently talk us through the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD in a genuinely eye-opening way!

In this episode, we explore:

• What hormones actually are and what they do in your body
• How hormones change throughout your cycle and the impact this has on ADHD
• Why misinformation around progesterone exists and what Adele's study "The Perfect Storm" teaches us about ADHD and perimenopause
• Why tracking your hormones can be a game-changer for ADHD
• Why old coping mechanisms stop working when women reach perimenopause
• The power of advocating for women's health and personalised treatment If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation might be the one that finally makes it make sense.

Did 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 about
• How fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial lives
• The concept of "money as energy"
• Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real step
• Why women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs us
• How financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somatically
• Why 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one opening
• How AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living inside
• How EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the body
• What it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionary

Catherine 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.

Have 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 valid
• The difference between parenting from selfishness and parenting from selflessness, and how awareness changes everything
• Why social connection matters just as much as academic achievement for neurodivergent children
• How Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria shows up in ADHD teenagers and what it looks like in friendships
• The power of openly normalising conversations about diagnosis, medication and therapy within your family
• Why giving your child grace starts with giving yourself grace first
• How fathers of neurodivergent children are finding each other — and why that community changes everything

If 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. If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, I’d recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it’s full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!

What 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.
