The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast Kate Moryoussef

Did you know that we can create new neural pathways using neuroplasticity by activating a part of the brain called the cerebellum? By enhancing this part of our brain - over the pre-frontal cortex - we can ease and lessen our ADHD symptoms and create a more effortless daily life.
This week's guest is Wynford Dore, an entrepreneur on a mission to change the lives of one million children. Wynford is the founder of Zing Brain Development programmes, the owner of Arnold Lodge School and also formed Educational Development International plc.
For the last 20 years Wynford has focused on changing the world, one brain at a time. He's funded many research projects and now works with the leading academics to determine the best solutions that successfully accelerate and develop learning in the brain - which finds our hidden potential and increases mental capacity…. including creating greater, stronger emotional regulation.
During today's conversation, Kate and Wynford talked about:

Healing from financial abuse or trauma can feel scary. Our nervous system may have been used to being hypervigilant and disempowered around money due to generational trauma and not understanding our neurodivergence. Many of us don't understand the energy of money, and so much shame can be attached to our sense of self, self-worth and our unconscious relationship to money.
This week's episode features the incredible Catherine Morgan, a multi-award-winning qualified Financial Adviser, Certified Financial Coach, Financial Abuse Specialist ®, Inherited family trauma healer, and financial therapist who specialises in helping women feel more deserving of holding money through somatic, therapeutic, and practical tools. Catherine is on a mission to reduce financial anxiety and increase financial empowerment & resilience for 1 million people worldwide.

The connection between your nervous system and your wealthWhy practising gratitude can increase your ability to hold money How to explore your past family trauma around money Letting go of old beliefs you have about your ability to make moneyCatherine's mission is to empower women to hold and attract wealth How Catherine came to her diagnosis of ADHDUnderstanding our financial core beliefs and healing for the next generationUsing somatic practices to heal from financial traumaHer inspiring journey to want to help women with their finances What financial control and abuse can look like

Looking for a fulfilling and fun career that doesn't lead to burnout and boredom, with full awareness of your ADHD? Amanda Perry is the person to listen to and this clip is as wise as they get!
As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years.
We discuss this with guest Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realized she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy, and money.
In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:
Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes themDeciding how you want your work to make you feelNon-negotiable values for our ADHD careersHaving fun, creating systems and making money!Amanda's journey in business being undiagnosed ADHDCreating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easierHaving the courage to change and pivot in businessUpper limiting ourselves as self-protectionPutting our nervous system firstHaving autonomy over your mental health
