  • ADHD THROUGH A FEMAIL LENS | Kate Moryoussef | ADHD Beyond the Label
    Nov 15 2025

    From the very first day of ADHD Beyond the Label, one name kept coming up, Kate Moryoussef.


    Kate often describes herself as the well behaved one. Quiet, shy, and always keeping her head down, but inside, the noise never stopped.


    ADHD is as hereditary as height. Understanding that helps us make sense of experiences like Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. Instead of assuming someone is too emotional or overly sensitive, we can begin to understand what those feelings are really telling us.


    Masking and not living authentically can be exhausting. For many people it catches up with you until you feel there is nowhere left to turn. Kate recognised that and decided to create a space for women to feel seen, supported and safe.


    Her book The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit is more than a read. It is a guide to understanding ADHD through the female lens, helping women explore triggers behind burnout, overwhelm and emotional sensitivity. It offers practical tools to regulate the nervous system, live in sync with hormones, embrace creativity and build a life that truly works for them.


    Join Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds as they sit down with Kate Moryoussef for an open and moving conversation about her journey, her work and the message behind The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit in this week's episode of ADHD Beyond the Label.

  • Dodge Woodall | THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE | ADHD Beyond the Label
    Nov 2 2025

    "So you survived school, but you did not just survive, did you? You thrived."


    In this week's episode of ADHD Beyond The Label, join Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds as they sit down with Dodge Woodall, entrepreneur, festival creator and risk taker, to explore the highs and lows of chasing dopamine, risk and success.


    From earning thousands a week at university to selling 30,000 tickets for a festival that was suddenly made illegal, Dodge's story is as unpredictable as it is inspiring.


    Beneath the chaos lies a fascinating truth. What happens when the ADHD brain finds its thrill in risk, challenge and uncertainty?

    - Is it addiction or ambition?

    - Can risk really be a form of focus?

    - And is there such a thing as being addicted to adrenaline?


    Do not miss this powerful conversation where entrepreneurship meets extreme sport and the Artful Dodger himself reveals the secret behind his success.
