Thank you for creating this podcast, and for your wonderfully genuine conversations with inspiring guests. I feel like I’m building “my tribe” through listening to this (and some other) podcast, and wish you all weren’t just “imaginary friends” 😂
Not alone anymore

I’m a 36 year old mom of three who was just diagnosed with ADHD. For years, I felt an intense amount of shame and embarrassment and always felt inadequate. It felt as though everyone else in the world was handed some secret Handbook of Life and had it all figured out. Meanwhile, I was struggling to shower and perform basic daily tasks. Ive always had this incredible amount of energy, so many creative ideas, and passion for life but could never execute any of it without feeling like a complete failure. It’s led to me retreating from others, giving up, and not trying new things. I have felt deficient, like a horrible mother and wife and friend in every way, unable to really communicate or even understand what was going on in my brain for so long. This has all led to so much frustration, depression, and emotional dysregulation. I randomly stumbled across Episode 15 in which Katy shares her own story. For the first time, I felt like someone really knew what it felt like to be me. She articulated so many of the feelings I had struggled to communicate. I sent this episode to my husband, my parents, my friends saying “Look! This is how I’ve felt for years and didn’t know how to tell you!”. Thank you, Katy, for this podcast and for being a voice for so many of us who are just starting out this diagnosis journey. Because of this podcast, I don’t feel alone anymore. I’m sure lots of other women feel the same.
Thank you for educating me, led to diagnosis!

I stumbled on your podcast after searching “Women ADHD” a couple months ago. The rabbit hole I fell into was your recent episode regarding PMDD and ADHD- it validated so many of my experiences and emboldened me to seek out my own diagnosis of ADHD. Lo and behold the deep valleys of emotional deregulation (anxiety, depression) I face are very well timed to my cycle… turned out I also have PMDD. I’ve binged about 50 episodes, and my goal is to consume all 200. I am learning so much from you and your guests’ experiences of ND tendencies, and building my vocabulary is helping with my low self esteem. I have struggled with rejection fear my entire life as well, having always been told by parents, “friends”, bosses, teachers, romantic “partners”, that I am overly sensitive, too emotional. I’ve never felt accepted(able) and it has been an incredible journey to discover myself and to find meaning in my experiences. I’m on a path toward medication and CBT to improve my life now, and I just wanted to share this note to share my gratitude for your work. You are helping people change their lives. Thank you.
So transformative

I cannot believe I found this episode today! 🤯 When Jes was explaining her story and experience, it felt like she was telling my story. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 15 and I was put on an antipsychotics until I was 20 when I decided there’s no way this is working. I had to fight for the last 3 years to get a PMDD diagnosis on top of my ADHD all the while refusing hormonal birth control. (It made everything worse) For so long, I was told you just have to deal with it. You can make it through. I was suicidal throughout my entire adolescence and then at various points in my 20s and now my 30s. I’m so brokenhearted that I can’t save all the women who get to the point where they can no longer justify “just making it through”. I have to admit that I still suffer those last two days before my period starts every month. After today though, I have more information and resources to help myself as well as others. I cannot thank you enough! 🙏
Thank Goodness

I have learned so much from Katy and her guests. It is refreshing to take a deep dive into the differences in ADHD females as there are SO many. This podcast has been a big source of validation and offered me practical tips as I continue to navigate the landscape of ADHD as a woman.
Inspiration and Encouragement

When I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 33, I immediately set out as much as I could about the way my brain works. Katy Weber’s Women and ADHD is the very first podcast I found on this topic, and I have been listening ever since! As an adult woman and a mother, I find so much inspiration and encouragement from hearing about other women who navigate their daily professional and personal lives with an ADHD mind. Thank you Katy, for this wonderful resource!
