This special bonus episode features an insightful conversation between Kate and Alex Partridge, host of the ADHD Chatter Podcast. Originally recorded for Alex’s show, this episode delves into the realities of being a woman with ADHD, the emotional toll it can take, and how Kate’s new book, The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit, was born out of her personal and professional experiences as an ADHD wellbeing coach.

Alex founded 2 social media giants, UNILAD and LADBible, aged just 21 and was then diagnosed with ADHD at 34. Since then, he has become a powerful advocate for neurodiversity online, reminding us all that we're not broken; we're different and have always been enough.

Key Takeaways:

• Why understanding ADHD is crucial for women and girls to dismantle shame and stigma
• How ADHD impacts women’s mental and physical health, often in overlooked ways
• The emotional toll of being misunderstood, judged, or feeling like you don’t fit in
• Common ADHD struggles like overwhelm, anxiety, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic
• How ADHD shows up uniquely for women, especially across life stages and hormonal changes
• The importance of neuro-affirming support, creating a sense of safety, and building self-trust
• The power of boundaries, self-awareness, and community for women with ADHD
• Kate's heartfelt advice for her younger self and women recently diagnosed with ADHD

This episode is a powerful reminder that awareness, compassion, and connection can transform the ADHD journey for women, helping them to feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

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.

Cycle tracking isn't a fad or something you can only do if you menstruate. Rooted in ancient wisdom, modern science, and female empowerment, understanding your cycles is key to helping you channel and nurture your energy, enhance your strengths, honour your needs and boost emotional well-being.

Many of us are navigating the complex interplay between our hormonal cycles and ADHD, and this conversation aims to shed light on how cycle tracking can help us reconnect with our bodies. We’ll explore how hormonal fluctuations impact our well-being and the importance of recognising these changes, not just as symptoms to endure, but as valuable insights into our overall health.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, co-authors of The Cycle Book. Together, they offer practical insights, personal stories, and expert guidance on how understanding your hormonal cycle can transform your wellbeing.

Laura, a certified sex and couples therapist, and Morgan, a seasoned midwife and reproductive care advocate, share their unique perspectives on navigating hormonal health through PMDD, endometriosis, postnatal depression, and beyond.

What You'll Learn:

• The power of cycle tracking as a tool for self-understanding, self-advocacy, and healing
• Why no two cycles are the same, and how learning your hormonal patterns is essential
• The emotional and physical realities of conditions like PMDD, endometriosis, and postnatal depression (especially in neurodivergent women)
• How to begin advocating for yourself in a medical system that often overlooks women's hormonal health
• What to do when you’re not getting the support you need from healthcare providers, and how to persist without burning out
• Why it’s vital to start these conversations young, empowering girls to understand and trust their bodies
• The value of community, curiosity, and consistency in your hormone health journey

This episode is a compassionate call to action: your body is not a mystery, it’s a source of wisdom. With the right tools and support, every woman can learn to track, understand, and advocate for her hormonal wellbeing.

In this week’s 'Wisdom' episode, we explore Chapter 5 (Live in Sync With your Hormones) of my upcoming new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, focusing on the often-overlooked hormonal factors (particularly progesterone) that can influence ADHD symptoms, especially during our menstrual cycles, perimenopause and menopause.

In this conversation, we revisit Kate's chats with Dr. Emma Ping, a menopause specialist, and Adele Wimsett, a women’s health practitioner and author. Together, they unpack how hormones like progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone interact with the ADHD brain, and why understanding this link is crucial for women’s wellbeing.

🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here🌟

What You’ll Learn:

• Why perimenopause can amplify ADHD symptoms, and how to spot the signs.
• The role of progesterone acts as a mood stabiliser, the impact of reduced levels during perimenopause, and why it’s often misunderstood in women’s health.
• How to distinguish between ADHD symptoms and hormone-related changes to get the right support.
• How HRT, including oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, can support cognitive and emotional wellbeing.
• The difference between synthetic progestins and body-identical progesterone, and why it matters.
• Why perimenopause can be the “perfect storm” for late-diagnosed ADHDers, and what needs to change in medical care.
• The empowering role of symptom tracking and cyclical awareness to support ADHD traits and emotional regulation.
