Moira Maybin is opening up about life with late-diagnosed ADHD, a mom of children with ADHD, and her knowledge gained as an educator and advocate for people with ADHD. Life was completely overwhelming until learned she had ADHD, she kept trying harder, with increasing problems in her self-care, physical and mental health. She’s re-shaped her life completely for a better fit, based on current research—and necessity, after falling off a cliff in 2018. On the ADHD Friendly Lifestyle, you can expect humor, stories, information, and support to help you to do the same. Have a question or topic you’d like answered on a future podcast?

50: the one about talking so a doctor will listen
“A weird trick to get doctors to listen to you,” by journalist Carolyn Liddell caught Moira’s eye when she was considering how to successfully raise another medical concern. People with ADHD are at higher risk of gaslighting and not receiving adequate medical support. Moira shares her journey with multiple health conditions & self-advocacy. When we can figure out what might be wrong, how do we bring it up to our doctors without offending them and be heard?

49: the one about starting
Moira is continuing the series on getting things done--starting can be hard. When creating a schedule or trying to build habits isn't working, maybe it's time to consider expanding our repertoire to include comfortable and workable options to get to the starting line, ways to start, ease in, and be ready for potential roadblocks.

48: the one about setting the stage
It's so easy when we have ADHD to skip, jump ahead, forget or avoid any stages needed to get something done. So, we're not spending any time on what happens then! Instead, we are returning to some unfinished business from Episodes 40 and 41 to look at how preparation can help. When we set the stage for success, we consider including preparation in ways we like to increase our ease, ability and happiness.

46: the one about getting real with time
It’s true: ADHD significantly impacts our ability to care for our needs and responsibilities and to do so on time. Today we’re talking about how to get out of that bind. Life feels lighter when we are more accurate about how long things take and what is possible in a day. Getting real with time includes questioning what doesn’t work with typical advice, how it can lower stress and overwhelm, and allow more of you in your day. It’s time to experiment with what works for us to end the fight with time.

45: the one about time awareness
How do we struggle with time? Let’s count the ways. Today we are talking about not knowing where it goes, being surprised by the time and some small steps to increase our time awareness. This includes sharing Moira’s struggle to see and accept limitations such as 24 hours in a day, and things we can do to make time awareness easier by continuing our series on ADHD & Time, following ep. 44, the one about time blindness.

Customer Reviews
It’s not just you…or me. Phew!
Moira, just found your podcast, jumped into ep 40 and jumped out suddenly feeling less alone.
I was diagnosed 3.5 years ago, and went from zero adhd knowledge (it’s a bit unknown in Australia) to excited early changes to family issues, 2 years of pandemic lockdowns and feel like I’m restarting the journey of creating an adhd friendly life from scratch again.
Listened to many ADHD podcasts, but gotta say the ‘late diagnosed woman’ experience is nuanced and your calm, practical advice on the minutiae that matters with adhd really hit the spot.
Thank you for investing your time into sharing with us 🙏🇦🇺 Looking forward to bingeing the rest!
I feel seen
Moira clearly explains the very confusing feelings associated with late diagnosis, female adhd, and much much more.
She is amazing and this podcast is exactly what I need in my life to help me navigate the late diagnosis world.
So helpful
First episode so relevant and so helpful.
