About this listen

If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've probably known - all your life - that you're different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways-from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents.

Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It's time for a change.

A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you'll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life.

Found last two chapters useful. Overall found it to be quite American centric for an Australian listener. Did not relate to most of the stories and the story telling style.

Thank you so much for writing this book. It has given me great clarity and understanding myself and why I have suffered so much through life and felt so lost, felt so much shame and like I don’t belong. Embracing my beautiful brain and celebrating what makes me different around people where I’m loved and safe to be myself is my biggest takeaway. Thank you again !

So very grateful I found this book!

a great, positive yet realistic exploration of being a woman with ADHD. REALLY helped me to be more forgiving of myself and see how I could engineer my life to smooth out some of the ADHD speed bumps

a handbook on finding me

Such a great read and shares so much empowerment amd reframes any shame and guilt carried around by women with ADHD.
Certainly a book I'm going to dip back into time and time again.

OMG Amazing

what a great toolkit! as a woman recently diagnosed with ADHD, this book shone a light onto so many aspects of my life that I didn't even think stemmed from ADHD. so empowering and full of good advice. highly recommend :)

Amazing resource both for women with ADHD and anyone in their lives. I don't have ADHD myself but my mother does, and came to her diagnosis later in life. This book is a beautiful insight into the life of women with ADHD and I know my mum has resonated with it a lot. It has helped me understand more about the unique challenges it brings, and the way so many negative self perceptions are generated and internalised by being neurodiverse in a sometimes unfriendly world. Highly recommend it for women with ADHD and those who love them. It isn't a strategy book as such, but focuses more on fundamental self beliefs, growing confidence and authenticity, which are the foundation for everything!

Incredibly enlightening

I was hoping for something a little more scientific and descriptive of ADHD. But it's really a book about low esteem caused by ADHD . if that is you, this book might help.

Hoping for more

This book wasn't bad but I just didn't get much from it because of where I am in my own journey. I do think if you are much earlier into your ADHD journey you might benefit more from this book though or if you are a lot less accepting of your ADHD traits and behaviours.

Didn't find it that helpful for me...
