    Kate's Mindfulness Tips for an ADHD Busy Brain

    In this week’s More Yourself episode, I’m sharing something that’s felt really present for me lately, inspired by an email I received from Dr Megan Anna Neff: the challenge of engaging in mindfulness on the go with a brain that can't slow down. We’re often told about the benefits of mindfulness, but for those of us with ADHD, being still, clearing our minds, and “just breathing” can feel almost impossible. And instead of feeling calm, we’re left feeling like we’ve failed at yet another task that we've set out for ourselves. So in this episode, I wanted to share a different perspective. Rather than trying to force our brains to use techniques that don't align with our brains, we can take time to explore mindfulness and find tools that are softer, more compassionate, and made for ADHD brains. Inside the episode, I explore: Why traditional mindfulness can feel inaccessible for ADHD and what to try insteadHow overthinking, anxiety, judgment and rumination pull us out of being presentThe power of validating your emotions instead of trying to ignore or quiet themTools for grounding in overwhelming moments without forcing yourself to be stillHow to name, accept, and respond to what your nervous system is truly asking for This conversation is here to remind you that mindfulness doesn’t have to look like silence or stillness. It can be a gentle walk, a sensory moment with essential oils, a few deep breaths in between tasks, or even just noticing how you’re feeling, with kindness.

    Self-Advocacy During The ADHD Assessment Process: What You Need to Know

    Getting an ADHD diagnosis isn’t always a straightforward path, and for many, it can feel confusing, overwhelming, or simply out of reach. In this week's episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Vicki George, specialist nurse and founder of The ADHD Nurse, who’s working to make ADHD assessments more accessible, inclusive and compassionate, especially for women and adolescents. This is a practical, myth‑busting and empowering episode for anyone who feels stuck or confused by the ADHD assessment process, is unsure who can assess them or whether their past diagnosis was thorough enough, feels uncomfortable being asked to involve family, is exploring non‑medication approaches, or is navigating perimenopause and wondering how hormonal changes affect ADHD and treatment.

    Making Sense of Executive Functions for ADHD Women with Belinda Edington

    In this week's More Yourself episode, I wanted to share a snippet from a recent guest workshop in the More Yourself Community. In this clip, Belinda Edington, executive functioning coach and director of MindSpark CIC, joined the More Yourself Community to offer a gentle yet powerful reframing of what executive functioning really is and what it means for women with ADHD. If you’ve ever wondered why things that seem simple for others, like starting tasks, managing time, or staying focused, feel impossibly hard, this session brings clarity, compassion, and hope. Belinda breaks down the science behind executive functioning and helps us move away from shame or self-blame towards understanding and support. In this clip, we explore: How executive function skills show up in everyday lifeThe difference between knowing what to do and being able to do itThe connection between ADHD, emotional regulation, memory and motivationWhy struggles with focus, planning or impulsivity are not personal failingsThe role of compassion and scaffolding in building executive functioning skills Timestamps: 05:46– What is Executive Functioning?07:03 – Metacognition and Memory Explained13:00 – Time Blindness16:18 – ADHD and Misdiagnosis17:00 – Reframing Laziness17:55 – Neuroplasticity and Building New Skills18:35 – Tools to Support Executive Function This is a reminder that your challenges are not about willpower; they’re about brain function. And the more we understand, the more we can begin to support ourselves in ways that actually work.

    Peaceful Parenting for PDA Kids: Compassionate Strategies That Help Them Thrive

    Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), pervasive drive for autonomy, is a deeply misunderstood and often overlooked profile within the neurodivergent spectrum. For many families, living with PDA can feel confusing, isolating, and emotionally overwhelming, especially when traditional parenting approaches seem to make things harder, not easier. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Casey Ehrlich, a researcher, coach, and mother to two PDA children, who brings both personal insight and professional expertise to help us reframe what’s really going on beneath the behaviours. If you’ve ever been told your child is “oppositional” or “defiant,” or your child resists even basic everyday requests, from brushing their teeth to getting dressed, or you're exhausted from trying to get it “right,” and you’re starting to question the very foundations of what parenting is “supposed” to look like... This conversation is for you. With the right support and education, children with PDA can thrive. And as parents, we can begin to feel more resourced, more connected, and far less alone in supporting our kids. Tickets to our first LIVE ADHD Women's Wellbeing Event are ON SALE!Click here to book your ticket for a full day of community, connection, awareness and growth. Key Takeaways: Why Casey prefers the term "pervasive drive for autonomy"How PDA can override even basic needs like eating, hygiene and safetyWhy traditional parenting approaches often backfire and what to try insteadThe four observable PDA traits: survival drive for autonomy, equalising, masking, and need for undivided attentionHow PDA differs from Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)What nervous system dysregulation looks like in PDA children and how to support itThe emotional toll on parents and how to care for yourself tooHow animals can support emotional regulation for PDA kidsWhat PDA can look like in adulthood (and why it's often misread as narcissism or avoidance) Timestamps 07:01: A Deep Dive into Pervasive Drive for Autonomy12:22: Understanding Oppositional Defiance and PDA18:13: The Journey of Parenting Neurodivergent Children23:34: A Paradigm Shift to Parenting PDA Kids26:51: Understanding PDA and Burnout35:57: Nervous System Activation in Parenting and Adult Life41:21: The Impact of PDA on Relationships47:54: Navigating Parental Challenges Tickets to our first LIVE ADHD Women's Wellbeing Event are ON SALE!We're so excited to be offering you a full day of real-life connection, calm, and community for late-diagnosed women ready to feel understood, supported, and seen.

    Making Inner Peace Your 2026 Priority and Finding Your Flow

    For our first More Yourself episode of the year, I wanted to share with you the quiet but powerful commitment I have made to myself to prioritise my inner peace above everything else this year. In this episode, I reflect on the pull I felt to be productive and perform in 2025, and how this year I am choosing to follow invitations that are aligned with my values, that encourage a state of flow, and to step into the version of me which feels most true. This year, I am hopeful that more of us will begin to drop the mask, give ourselves permission to follow what lights us up and to reclaim peace as a daily, radical act of self-trust. In this episode, I explore:How I’m actively prioritising inner peace, and what that looks like in practiceWhy I’ve stopped making decisions that go against my nervous systemWhat flow means to me, and how the podcast became a surprising example of itThe power of doing more of what feels effortless, energising and easefulWhy this year isn’t about fixing or achieving, but about remembering what brings us aliveHow ADHD awareness continues to evolve and the links to hormones, inflammation, pain, anxiety, addiction and more I hope this episode helps you to reflect on what brings you peace and a sense of flow, so that you can move through this year with more softness, more honesty, and more joy?
