    ADHDtime on Air: You're Not the Problem

    ADHDtime on Air #14: You're Not the Problem ⭐ Late Diagnosis, Invisible Pressures, and Self-Understanding In this episode of ADHDtime on Air, Daniella Karidi, PhD, sits down with Liz Lewis, writer, researcher, coach, and author of You Are Not the Problem: Late-Diagnosed ADHD Women and the Invisible Forces That Shape Us. Together, they explore why so many women are diagnosed later in life, the invisible pressures that shape the ADHD experience, and how understanding ADHD through a broader lens can help move women from self-blame to self-understanding. About Liz LewisLiz Lewis is a writer, researcher, and ADHD coach dedicated to supporting women and mothers with ADHD. For more than a decade, she has written about ADHD, motherhood, relationships, and mental health, helping women better understand themselves and their experiences. Episode SummaryWhy are so many women diagnosed with ADHD later in life? According to Liz Lewis, ADHD is only part of the story. Social expectations, gender roles, caregiving responsibilities, and the pressure to "hold it all together" can make ADHD more difficult to recognize and even harder to live with. In this conversation, Liz shares insights from her new book and discusses late diagnosis, masking, motherhood, relationships, hormones, and self-understanding. Together, Liz and Daniella explore how we can move beyond viewing ADHD as an individual problem to solve and begin examining the invisible forces that shape women's lives. Key Takeaways• Being diagnosed later in life does not change the past, but it can change how you understand it. • Many challenges attributed to personal failure may actually reflect the interaction between ADHD and unrealistic expectations placed on women. • Moving from self-blame to self-understanding creates space for greater self-compassion, support, and growth. Topics Discussed• Why women are often diagnosed later in life • The emotional impact of late diagnosis • Gender expectations and invisible pressures • Motherhood, relationships, and ADHD • Hormones, perimenopause, and ADHD • Moving from self-blame to self-understanding Subscribe to ADHDtime on AirEnjoying ADHDtime on Air?

    ADHDtime on Air: CBT for Neurodivergence with Kristen Baird Goldman

    In this episode of ADHDtime on Air, Daniella Karidi, PhD, sits down with Kristen Baird Goldman, LMFT, ADHD-CCSP, CIMHP, ATR, author of The CBT Workbook for Adults with ADHD. Kristen is an ADHD-informed psychotherapist and founder of the Neurodiversity Care Center, where she specializes in supporting adults with ADHD, Autism and AuDHD. Together, they explore how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help adults with ADHD better understand the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Kristen explains why many ADHDers struggle with the gap between intention and action, how negative childhood messages shape adult self-perception, and why self-compassion may be one of the most important skills for long-term wellbeing. Using examples from The CBT Workbook for Adults with ADHD, Kristen shares practical exercises and strategies that help adults with ADHD move from insight to action, build self-compassion, and develop systems that support lasting change. Takeaways• CBT can help adults with ADHD understand and interrupt unhelpful thought patterns. • Self-compassion is not optional. It is a critical skill for reducing shame and supporting growth. • Mindfulness-based exercises can help regulate attention, emotions, and the nervous system. • ADHD is not simply an attention deficit. Many people experience an abundance of competing attention demands. • The intersection of ADHD and autism (AuDHD) is becoming increasingly recognized and understood. • Diagnosis can provide valuable information, self-understanding, and access to appropriate support. • Sustainable support often requires a collaborative care model that addresses both mental and physical health. emorable Quotes"ADHD is not an attention deficit. It's an attention surplus condition." "Feeling seen, heard, and understood is the goal." "Stop and smell the roses in the future."

    ADHDtime on Air with Caroline Maguire

    Today I’m joined by Caroline Maguire, ADHD coach, author, and host of The ADHD Social Playbook podcast, to talk about her new book Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults. In this conversation, we explore why friendship can feel so complicated for neurodivergent adults and why social connection is often treated like something people should “just know” how to do. Caroline shares practical insights about building friendships, navigating social anxiety, understanding social cues, and balancing authenticity with masking. We also discuss the difference between practice friendships and deeper relationships, the fear of reaching out, and why friendship is not a personality trait but a skill that can be learned and strengthened over time. Whether you have ADHD, identify as neurodivergent, or have ever felt unsure about where you fit socially, this conversation offers thoughtful, compassionate, and practical strategies for creating more meaningful connections. Takeaways • Friendship is a skill that can be developed • Neurodivergent adults often need explicit social strategies • Authenticity and masking are different experiences • Reading the room is a learnable skill • Building friendships requires practice and vulnerability Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Book and Author08:02 Understanding Social Cues and Reading the Room15:29 Transitioning from Practice to Leveled Up Friendship22:40 Advice to Younger Self and Future Self28:51 Key Takeaway: Friendship is a SkillConnect with Connect with Caroline MaguireInstagram: @authorcarolinecm LinkedIn: Caroline Maguire on LinkedIn YouTube: Caroline Maguire YouTube Channel Connect with Daniella Karidi, PhDDK@ADHDtime.com Instagram: @ADHDtime https://www.adhdtime.com/ Free Book Club https://bookclubs.com/clubs/5960965/join/dc42f3 Buy the book: https://amzn.to/4nb3AXbkeywordsADHDtime, ADHD, Neurodivergent, Friendship Skills, ADHD Podcast, Friendship, Masking
