    Fighting for an Autism Diagnosis: What the System Still Gets Wrong About AuDHD Women with Dr Samantha Hiew

Kate is hosting a 'Ask Me Anything' Q&A workshop on Monday, 13th July at 6.30 pm, where you can submit your question ahead of time and join the conversation live on Zoom. Book your space here. 🌟 Kate's also opening a small number of 1-2-1 sessions, a chance to bring whatever's on your mind and get some focused time together. Book your session here. This week's episode: When we finally receive a diagnosis, it can feel like the missing piece. But for so many AuDHD women, it's only the beginning of a much longer journey — one that takes us back through everything we thought we knew about ourselves. This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Samantha Hiew, AuDHDer, scientist, and founder of ADHD Girls. Diagnosed with ADHD at 40, Sam has since received a working autism diagnosis after a seven-month struggle with clinicians who focused on developmental delays and trauma, rather than listening to her experiences. Since we last spoke, Sam has launched a major lived experience survey, and the findings are both validating and hard to sit with. This is a rich and honest conversation about what it really means to be a neurodivergent woman navigating identity, relationships, midlife, and a healthcare system that still doesn't fully see us. In this episode, we explore: Sam's seven-month fight for an autism diagnosis and what it reveals about how the system fails womenWhat a lived experience survey of 400+ AuDHD women found about masking, identity and emotional safetyWhy AuDHD women are predisposed to abandon themselves and how masking becomes survivalRelational trauma, sexual trauma, and patterns of conditioning in neurodivergent womenPerimenopause, unmasking, and what the hormonal shift revealsRebuilding self-trust and building community after a lifetime of masking as an AuDHD womanThe seasons of womanhood framework and how perimenopause represents autumnThe neuroscience of RSD and the salience network in ADHD and autismWhy psychiatry prescribes without brain scans, genetic testing, or hormonal context and the harm this causesSelf-advocacy tool for ND women navigating healthcare systemsSam's AuDHD women's advanced practitioner programme Listen to our previous episodes with Samantha below: Episode 28: Advocating For Your Neurodiversity In The Workplace with Samantha Hiew Episode 108: The Intersection Between ADHD and Autism with Dr Samantha Hiew Support and information on topics raised in today's episode: Refuge website and support link Women's Aid Website The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!

She's hosting an Ask Me Anything Q&A workshop on Monday 13th July at 6.30pm, where you can submit your question ahead of time and join the conversation live on Zoom. Book your space here. 🌟 Kate's also opening a small number of 1-2-1 sessions, a chance to bring whatever's on your mind and get some focused time together. Book your session here. This week's episode: How often do you feel completely exhausted all day, yet when you get yourself to bed early, your brain switches on, and you're unable to sleep? You do everything you're told to: no screens, no caffeine, a cool dark room, yet your brain is still filled with thoughts, to-do lists and the things you said 5 years ago. But the reality is, for ADHD brains, sleep isn't a habit problem... It's a neurological problem. And the standard advice around skeeo hygiene and behaviour was never built with us in mind. This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by ADHD sleep expert, Heather Darwall-Smith, a psychotherapist specialising in sleep, with a particular focus on adults with ADHD. Heather was herself diagnosed with ADHD late in life, and that lived experience sits alongside her clinical expertise in everything she does. Her new book, The ADHD Sleep Book: A Compassionate Guide for the Wired and Overtired Brain, is the first book dedicated specifically to ADHD and sleep.

    Sustainable ADHD Success: Creating an Aligned Career According to your Energy and Natural Rhythms

    Building a business with an ADHD brain can feel less like following a carefully laid plan and more like learning to work with ever-changing waves of energy, focus, and creativity. How do you create something sustainable for you, and what are the best foundations to start from? This episode is part of a workshop I delivered called Just Because You Can Solve It Doesn't Mean You Should. It's a gentle but powerful reframe for ADHD women building businesses who want to work with their nervous system rather than constantly pushing against it. You'll discover why trying to force consistency, productivity, and motivation every day may be working against you, and how understanding your natural energy patterns can help you build a business that feels more sustainable and supportive. This episode explores: Why coming to understand that ADHD energy is not linear can help you embrace fluctuations in your productivity and creativity.How hormonal cycles greatly influence your motivation and energy levels, which is important to recognise in business.Why you should practice self-compassion on low-energy days and reframe motivationListening to your nervous system as crucial burnout prevention method to maintaining a sustainable pace of business. By the end of the episode, you'll have simple reminders to help you tune into your nervous system, make decisions from a place of self-awareness, and build a business that supports your wellbeing as much as your success. If you've ever felt like you're constantly trying to keep up, this conversation offers a different approach to honour your unique rhythms and helps you create success that feels true to you.

  4. From Debt to Financial Peace: An ADHD Woman's Story of Money, Spending and Self-Trust

    From Debt to Financial Peace: An ADHD Woman's Story of Money, Spending and Self-Trust

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift! Does thinking about money make something in your body tighten? Your chest pound and throat close? Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay. You are not bad with money. You just haven't had a system built for your brain. This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Esther Bangura, neurodivergent financial educator, ADHD and money coach, and host of the Neurodivergent Money Management podcast. After years of debt, stress spending, and burnout, Esther paid off £18,000 and bought her own home. Instead of following conventional financial advice, she used systems that actually worked with her ADHD brain; and now she helps other high-earning neurodivergent women do the same. For so many of us, spending isn't really about the thing we're buying, it's about control, relief, and finding calm for a nervous system caught in overwhelm. In this episode, we explore: Esther's realisation of her spending habits and gaining a sense of controlWhy her own ADHD diagnosis transformed the way she supports her clientsWhy the same money systems doesn't work for everyone, and how to find what actually works for youHow to understand your spending patterns and energy levels and use that data to build a strategy that sticksHow burnout and financial stress affected Esther's fertility and her experience of miscarriageWhat needs to change in financial education for neurodivergent peoplePractical tips for ADHD business owners managing their finances This episode is for every woman who has ever felt shame around money or avoided the conversation because it felt too exposing. Esther brings warmth, honesty and genuine practical wisdom to a topic that our community doesn't talk about anywhere near enough. Financial peace is possible for our brains and this episode shows you what that can look like.

    Latest Research on Hormonal ADHD Women's Health from Dr Lotta Borg Skogland

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift! How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit? For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating. This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June. What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health. In this episode, we explore: Why women have historically been excluded from research, and what that has cost us clinicallyLotta's new research on ADHD medication during pregnancy, lactation, and across the menstrual cycleWhy neurodivergent women may experience perimenopause symptoms earlier, and why this so often goes unrecognisedThe critical window of opportunity for hormone therapyWhy a hormonal assessment should come before receiving ADHD medicationThe link between postmenopausal oestrogen loss and heart attacks in womenThe connections between ADHD and endometriosis, PCOS, burnout, pain and sick leaveWhy every doctor (regardless of specialism) needs to be asking about hormonesHow we can use the predictable hormonal risk windows across a woman's reproductive life to support herTestosterone, perimenopause, and what the research does and doesn't yet tell usHow Lotta's new book can help you advocate for yourself in the doctor's office This episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems. Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening. You can also listen to our previous conversations with Lotta here: E120 Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD women E174: Breaking down ADHD Neuroscience, Menstrual Cycles, Hormones and Anxiety This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

    Why Everyday Tasks Feel Overwhelming with ADHD - ADHD Aha! Takeover Episode

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift! Have you ever stood in your own kitchen, holding a perfectly ordinary object (like a wooden spoon), and completely frozen? Not because anything dramatic happened, but because your brain just couldn't work out what to do next. In this week's episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I have something a little different for you! It’s called ADHD Aha!, by Understood.org, and shares real, relatable stories from people with ADHD, about how their symptoms impact their lives. In this episode, Laura is joined by Terry Matlen, a psychotherapist, ADHD coach, and one of the true pioneers in understanding ADHD in women. Terry has spent over 25 years helping women make sense of a brain the world never quite designed for them. And in this conversation, she is refreshingly honest about her own brain in ways I think a lot of us will relate to. In this episode, we explore: The moment a wooden spoon became the symbol of a lifetime of undiagnosed ADHDWhy shame is so deeply woven into the female ADHD experience, and how understanding changes everythingHow ADHD symptoms can be mistaken for anxiety, depression, or personality disordersThe particular challenges of mothering with ADHD — especially when your children have it tooWhy asking for help isn't a weaknessCreative ways to access support even when money is tightHow to gently shift your expectations of yourself without giving up on the things that matter If you've ever wondered why life feels inexplicably harder for you than it seems to for everyone else, I hope this conversation feels like finally coming home.

    Why High-Achieving ADHD Women Keep Burning Out: a Regenerative Conversation with Pippa Grange

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift! Have you spent years pushing through, overriding what your body is telling you, performing at full capacity, and wondering why you keep burning out? For so many women with ADHD, the drive to do more, prove more, and be more is relentless. We have the passion, the ambition, the energy. But when that inner motor collides with a nervous system that desperately needs rest and renewal, something eventually gives way. This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Dr Pippa Grange, a doctor of performance psychology, culture coach, author, and the psychologist behind England's renaissance World Cup campaign of 2018. You may also know of Pippa Grange through her portrayal in the recent Dear England, played excellently by Jodie Whittaker! Pippa has spent 25 years working with elite athletes, teams, and leaders across sport and industry, and her new book, Life Reclaimed: Find Freedom from Chronic Overperformance, is the culmination of everything she has learned, including from her own experience of burnout. Pippa's framework for what she calls regenerative performance feels like it was made for our community, and it challenges everything we've been taught about what it means to be "successful". In this episode, we explore: Why chronic overperformance is so prevalent in neurodivergent people and what keeps us stuck in itThe ecological lens Pippa uses to understand performance and why nature is the master teacherHow elite sport prioritises not just performance, but also rest and renewal to optimise output and prevent burnoutThe power of honesty to reduce masking and burnoutThe four principles of regenerative performance and listening to your needsMoving off autopilot and learning to check in with your nervous system by asking what it needs, rather than pushing throughWhy diversifying your modes and speeds is especially powerful for ADHD brainsWhy pulling back is not a failing, it's a smart performance strategyWhat Pippa learned from her own burnout and how she works differently nowThree types of honesty and the subtle ways we are unfaithful to ourselves without realisingWhy "wholebeing" matters more than wellbeing Pippa brings a rare combination of elite performance experience and genuine human warmth to this conversation. For those of us with restless minds and high ambitions who keep burning out despite doing everything right, this episode offers a completely different way of thinking about what sustainable success can look like.

    The Gentle Power of Herbal Medicine for ADHD Women: Natural Ways to Support Sleep, Focus and Hormonal Health

    After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing. Plants have been supporting human health for thousands of years. But could they support your ADHD brain, too? This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Ellen Rowland, a Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist who works 1:1 with neurodivergent people. Ellen isn't here to replace anything that's already working for you. Instead, she uses evidence-based plant medicines, diet and lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system, support focus, balance energy, address hormonal, gut or other health issues, and ease emotional overwhelm, in a way that feels safe and sustainable. In this episode, we explore: Ellen's personal journey, what led her to herbal medicine, and what it actually isThe cultural history of plant-based medicine in Central AmericaHow modern-day life demands, such as high expectations, family demands, and constant task-switching, contribute to overwhelm in ADHDSmall things you can weave into your day alongside herbal medicine as a scaffold for supportWhy people come to Ellen, what she can help with, and how she works collaboratively alongside GPsHow to start supporting yourself without access to a medical herbalist, including German and Roman chamomileHerbs for calming down in the evening, and herbs for when you need to wake up and focusHow essential oils and aromatherapy work, and the remarkable healing power of scent Ellen brings a whole-person, neurodivergent-informed approach to this conversation. For those of us who feel like we're still missing something despite doing all the "right" things, this episode offers a gentle and genuinely interesting new layer of support.
