What 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:

1. The misunderstandings behind dyslexia and how it impacts more than reading and writing
2. What a late dyslexia diagnosis can mean for adults
3. How understanding dyslexia helps you to work strategically, instead of against yourself
4. How dyslexia and ADHD often coexist, and how to begin to untangle the two
5. The truth about colour overlays and why they are so often incorrectly associated with dyslexia
6. The impact of dyslexia on automaticity, working memory and executive functioning
7. How masking shows up in dyslexia and promotes avoidant behaviours
8. The lesser-known ways dyslexia can present that even healthcare professionals need to know
9. Tips to support long-term memory and how teachers can encourage real, lasting learning
10. Jacob's advice for anyone who is currently wondering whether dyslexia might be part of their story

Through 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.

If you have ever started a task with the best intentions, yet 4 hours later your sat doing something completely different wondering how you got there... this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, clinical psychologist and ADHD expert Dr Hannah Cullen talks us through the Default Mode Network, how it is impacted in those of us with ADHD, and the tools we can use to support our brains!

If you're normally scared by the term neuroscience, this episode offers a warm, funny and brilliantly clear perspective on information that could really help you to make sense of a brain you may have spent a lifetime fighting against.

In this episode, we explore:

1. What the Default Mode Network actually is and why understanding it is so crucial for managing ADHD symptoms
2. Why do so many of us start tasks and struggle to finish them, and what this has to do with working memory
3. How Dr Hannah brings the DMN to life by demonstrating in real time just how hard it is for our brains to stay focused
4. Pacing techniques that can genuinely reduce burnout and help with task completion
5. The power of microstarts and real examples of how they can help you finally begin
6. How outsourcing tasks and body doubling can ease overwhelm and boost productivity
7. Simple systems like planners and diaries can make daily life feel more manageable
8. Why ADHD shows up differently in women, including the impact on stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem

This session offers something that good therapy often takes years to uncover — and Hannah delivers it with so much warmth, humour and clarity that you'll want to listen twice.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of community during the grieving process.

In this week's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Alex Spencer for a deeply moving conversation regarding her experience of grief and ADHD, following the death of her beloved son, Declan, in 2023.

Alex is a holistic therapist, bereavement coach-in-training, and host of The Functioning Griefster podcast. Alex was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, after years of being labelled “ditzy,” “stupid,” or “the class clown” at school due to undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia. Alex now uses her lived experience to speak openly about neurodiversity, grief, and resilience and has channelled her energy into creating a safe space for honest conversations about loss, mental health, and carrying on while still carrying grief.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the importance of community during the grieving process.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Alex's experience of ADHD, including misunderstanding as a child
2. How being Declan's Mum changed Alex's mindset and understanding of neurodivergence
3. Why Alex never related to her ADHD diagnosis until one TV programme changed everything
4. How being Declan's Mum supported Alex's ADHD without her even knowing it at the time
5. Alex's fierce sense of right and wrong and her love for Declan drove her to advocate for his needs
6. The impact of grief and losing Declan on Alex's day-to-day life, ADHD and career
7. How Alex is finding her place in the world again and using her voice to make Declan proud
8. The role of RSD in ADHD and the desire to help others instead of self
9. More information regarding Alex's podcast,
10. Why creative outlets like Alex's podcast, The Functioning Griefster, can be so powerful when navigating loss and ADHD

You Don’t Have to Fight Alone: The Truth About SEN Support (and Your Rights as a Parent)

I keep hearing the same thing from parents lately: “I feel like I have to become an expert overnight… just to get my child the support they need.”

And honestly? They’re not wrong.

This week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Rebecca Gray, a SEN advocate and parent who has lived every step of the journey she now helps others navigate.

This episode covers something so many parents of neurodiverse children desperately need: a clear, compassionate guide to understanding the SEN system, knowing your rights, and learning how to fight for the support your child is legally entitled to, without feeling like you have to do it all alone.

Rebecca speaks openly about her own experience advocating for her children within a complex and often challenging education system. Her approach is grounded, warm, and a reminder that knowledge is power, and that parents deserve to feel equipped, not exhausted.

In this episode, we explore:

1. What a SEN advocate is and their role in securing educational provisions for children
2. Rebecca's experience of becoming a qualified SEN advocate and how SEN law became her special interest
3. EHCPs explained: what they are, what they should contain, and why they are legally binding documents
4. How having a SEN advocate in your corner can transform your experience of the system
5. The challenges and overwhelm that families face in securing support
6. Why the burden of advocacy so often fall on parents
7. How SOS!SEN supports securing the right educational provision for children
8. What good specialist school provision looks like for children with ADHD and autism
9. Why the school system needs and reform and what we can do
10. The difference between home education and EOTIS (Education Otherwise Than In a School)
11. The various options for children who cannot thrive in a traditional school setting

For so many parents of neurodiverse children, the system doesn't just feel difficult, it feels like the world is fighting against you. Rebecca's experience and expertise offer real clarity, practical tools, and a compassionate reminder that you don't have to navigate this alone.

If the word "purpose" has ever felt overwhelming, out of reach, or simply not built for the way your brain works, this week's More Yourself episode is for you.

In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing live event, Purpose Expert, Author and Accredited Coach Hannah Miller strips purpose back to something personal, practical, and actually possible, without the overwhelm and panic!

Whether you're newly diagnosed, recently self-identifying, or simply in a season of life that is making you feel more unsure than excited, Hannah's framework will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, we explore:

Why purpose has nothing to do with job titles or grand ambitions, and what it's actually about instead

The concept of being 'directionally correct' and why moving toward the right thing matters more than having it all figured out

Why knowing where you are right now is the essential first step before any meaningful direction can be found

The four seasons of life and how identifying your current season shapes what's possible for you moving forward

How the traits ADHD women have long seen as flaws are often their most powerful and underused strengths

The difference between good tired and bad tired, and how to use this recognition to find your purpose

It's okay to take information from all different areas as long as you're using it to go in the right direction

This is just a taste of what was captured on the day. The full audio experience goes so much deeper into helping you piece all this information about your hormones, brain, identity and purpose together! You deserve to have it all in one place. Now you do.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

This week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Jennifer McKenzie, a somatic trauma therapist and holistic educator.

This week's episode covers something we haven't explored before: the impact of trauma, abuse, addiction and neurodivergence on the body resulting from years of masking, not fitting in, surviving and never quite feeling safe enough to stop.

Jennifer speaks openly about her trauma and surviving homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse, and rape, raising four children whilst living with chronic pain and disability, and receiving her AuDHD diagnosis later in life. Jennifer's approach to healing is unapologetic and rebellious, reminding us that recovery and self-improvement are possible for everyone, no matter where they start.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Jennifer's personal story, the labels she received growing up, and how her lived experience shaped her path and her purpose
2. How alcohol and substance use became a way of masking, functioning, and navigating a world that wasn't built for Jennifer
3. Why AuDHD women can be particularly vulnerable to risk-taking behaviours, manipulation, and abusive relationships
4. The impact of ADHD and autism on female relationships and the ongoing struggle for authentic connection
5. How trauma and pain live in the body, from posture and digestive issues to emotional weight and chronic pain
6. The role of fascia as the body's second nervous system, how it stores trauma, and its links to conditions like EDS
7. The power of movement and somatic therapy in nervous system regulation and genuine, embodied healing

For so many neurodivergent women, the trauma and pain they carry aren't just emotional. It lives in the body, in the nervous system. Jennifer's perspective offers real tools and a deeply compassionate belief that healing is always possible.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

This week on the podcast, we're talking about something that so many women quietly experience but that very few of us actually talk about...

Sex... Perimenopause...Libido... Desire...Orgasms... How our attraction changes as our hormonal levels shift. It's a big topic and one to listen to in a safe space away from small ears!

So many women notice changes in their libido, attraction, intimacy or sexual confidence during perimenopause and menopause. For late-diagnosed neurodivergent women, these understanding shifts can feel even more confusing as hormones, attention, the nervous system and relationships all intersect.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Angela Wright, a trauma-trained clinical sexologist, sex medicine practitioner and menopause clinician with a specialist interest in the overlaps between trauma, ADHD, PMDD and menopause.

Together we explore the often unspoken intersection between hormones, menopause, libido and sexual wellbeing, particularly for neurodivergent women. Many women notice shifts in their bodies, desire, or relationships during perimenopause and menopause, yet these changes are rarely explained in a way that helps them understand what’s really happening.

This conversation opens up space to talk honestly about the changes women may experience during this stage of life, and how understanding the relationship between hormones, the nervous system and ADHD can help make sense of shifts in intimacy, attraction and connection.

In this episode, we explore:

1. How hormonal changes during perimenopause can impact libido and sexual desire
2. Why techniques or dynamics that once worked sexually may change as hormones shift
3. The connection between ADHD, novelty and desire in long-term relationships
4. How hormones, the nervous system and attention interact to shape sexual experience
5. Why some people experience a loss of interest in sex during midlife
6. How orgasms can support relaxation, tension release and hormone regulation
7. The importance of communication in relationships, including using “I” statements to express needs
8. How treatments such as vaginal oestrogen and hormonal support can help during perimenopause
9. The impact of progesterone and testosterone

This episode offers reassurance, insight, and practical language for women navigating changes in their bodies and relationships, helping to reduce the confusion and isolation that can accompany these experiences.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

In this week's More Yourself episode, we explore the connection between personal growth, guilt, and the nervous system and the impact this interaction can have.

Many women carry guilt quietly in their bodies. It can show up as chronic illness, pain, and other physical sensations. Over time, these emotions can settle into the nervous system and begin shaping how safe or unsafe change feels.

In this clip from a recent More Yourself episode, we explore how learning to notice the physical sensations in our bodies can help us understand what we’re holding onto, and where growth might be trying to emerge.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Why growth and change can feel activating for the nervous system
2. How guilt can show up physically in the body
3. The emotional weight many women carry without realising
4. How guilt can quietly influence our decisions
5. Why being a woman can add extra layers of expectation and pressure
6. How to recognise the blocks that can appear when we start thinking about change
7. How recognising sensations in the body can help release stuck emotions
8. Creating space for new intentions, possibilities and directions

This episode is a reminder that sometimes growth doesn't come from pushing yourself harder, but by gently noticing what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Why not start by asking yourself this question: If guilt wasn’t leading the way, what might growth feel like instead?

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Ella Jack, founder of She Moves Community, a growing community that brings women together through movement in nature.

Ella shares how the idea began during a difficult period with her mental health. As a 23-year-old navigating ADHD and early adulthood, Ella started hiking to support her mental health after beginning therapy. This quickly grew into something much bigger and created a supportive space where women can connect, move their bodies and spend time outdoors together.

Together, Kate and Ella explore the powerful impact of movement, routine, nature and community, and why these elements can be particularly supportive for women with ADHD.

Key Takeaways

1. Ella’s experience of ADHD and mental health in early adulthood
2. Starting Girls That Hike and overcoming fears about launching something new
3. How movement in nature can significantly support mental wellbeing
4. The role of routine and regular physical activity for ADHD regulation
5. Why community and shared experiences help women feel less alone
6. The challenges of making new friends as an adult woman
7. How group activities can foster authentic connection and belonging
8. Being okay with adapting, change and growth
9. Turning personal struggles into purpose and community impact

This conversation is such an inspiring reminder that sometimes the ideas born from our hardest moments can grow into something that supports many others, too.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Kati Peditto, Founding Researcher at the Built Experience Lab and a leading voice in neuroaffirming design - an approach that centres lived experience and views neurodivergence as an identity to be supported, not a problem to be solved.

As an Autistic woman with ADHD, Kati brings both lived experience and research insight to a conversation many late-diagnosed women will recognise, the quiet, everyday ways our environments can either support our nervous systems or leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and “too much”.

Together, they explore the hidden impacts of our built environments and the origins of common design practices, as well as the design assumptions made and their contribution to stress, burnout, and self-doubt for neurodivergent women.

This episode offers validation, language and practical ways to think differently about your environment and your needs.

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

In this episode, we explore:

1. What neuroaffirming design is and the assumptions built into most spaces
2. The difference between neuroinclusive and neuroaffirming
3. Why standard accessibility checklists often miss neurodivergent needs
4. Common sensory challenges: fluorescent lighting, noise, acoustics, open-plan offices, and lack of windows
5. How open-plan design and modern workplaces impact attention, energy and regulation
6. Why sensory rooms can become a tick-box rather than true inclusion
7. The importance of choice, control and agency based on your sensory profile
8. What neuroaffirming workplaces and schools could look like in practice
9. The role managers and leaders play in creating supportive environments
10. Understanding cognitive accessibility and how to audit your space
11. Moving beyond one-size-fits-all design to support individual needs

Kati is currently writing a book that explores how the hidden curriculum of our built environments impacts neurodivergent individuals and how spaces can be designed to foster true flourishing. Find out more information via her website www.katipeditto.com

When you hear the word growth, what happens in your body?

For many ADHD women, growth has become tied to pressure. Doing more, achieving more, and constantly pushing forward, even when your nervous system is already stretched.

In this episode, we explore how to reframe growth so it feels gentle, aligned and sustainable, not driven by urgency, but guided by self-trust. By relearning growth, we start to understand it's not about doing more, it’s about reconnecting with a part of you that feels fluid, authentic and open to possibility.

This conversation comes from a recent More Yourself live, where we explored what growth can look like beyond productivity, career or external expectations, and how to define expansion in a way that actually works for your brain and your life.

In this episode, we explore

1. Why traditional ideas of growth can feel pressurising, especially for ADHD minds
2. The impact of constant expectations on your nervous system
3. Reframing growth as expansion into authenticity, ease and possibility
4. The invisible blocks that can limit your potential, including fear, self-doubt and internalised beliefs
5. What the word "change" brings up for you, and the worries or resistance that may sit underneath
6. How breath and body awareness can support decision-making and help you tune into your desires
7. What could growth look like if it didn't mean doing more
8. Reflecting on what you may be holding onto out of habit, pressure or expectation
9. Learning what you might be ready to let go of
