ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

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 ADHD
Why shame is so deeply woven into the female ADHD experience, and how understanding changes everything
How ADHD symptoms can be mistaken for anxiety, depression, or personality disorders
The particular challenges of mothering with ADHD — especially when your children have it too
Why asking for help isn't a weakness
Creative ways to access support even when money is tight
How 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.

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 it
The ecological lens Pippa uses to understand performance and why nature is the master teacher
How elite sport prioritises not just performance, but also rest and renewal to optimise output and prevent burnout
The power of honesty to reduce masking and burnout
The four principles of regenerative performance and listening to your needs
Moving off autopilot and learning to check in with your nervous system by asking what it needs, rather than pushing through
Why diversifying your modes and speeds is especially powerful for ADHD brains
Why pulling back is not a failing, it's a smart performance strategy
What Pippa learned from her own burnout and how she works differently now
Three types of honesty and the subtle ways we are unfaithful to ourselves without realising
Why "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.

Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity.

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 is
The cultural history of plant-based medicine in Central America
How modern-day life demands, such as high expectations, family demands, and constant task-switching, contribute to overwhelm in ADHD
Small things you can weave into your day alongside herbal medicine as a scaffold for support
Why people come to Ellen, what she can help with, and how she works collaboratively alongside GPs
How to start supporting yourself without access to a medical herbalist, including German and Roman chamomile
Herbs for calming down in the evening, and herbs for when you need to wake up and focus
How 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.

Have you reached perimenopausal age and started to notice that the scaffolding and coping mechanisms you may have used for so long are not working as they used to?
If you're confused about hormones and keep hearing lots of different information on social media, this week's More Yourself episode is for you.
In this clip from our first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event, Adele Wimsett, whose groundbreaking Perfect Storm study explores the intersection of perimenopause and ADHD, cuts through the noise with clarity, warmth and real practical insight.
So many of us don't realise the science behind why our coping mechanisms stop working during perimenopause. We think it's an "us" problem. Adele is here to gently talk us through the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD in a genuinely eye-opening way!
In this episode, we explore:
What hormones actually are and what they do in your body
How hormones change throughout your cycle and the impact this has on ADHD
Why misinformation around progesterone exists and what Adele's study "The Perfect Storm" teaches us about ADHD and perimenopause
Why tracking your hormones can be a game-changer for ADHD
Why old coping mechanisms stop working when women reach perimenopause
The power of advocating for women's health and personalised treatment If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, this conversation might be the one that finally makes it make sense.

Did you grow up feeling like you were “bad with money” before you ever understood your ADHD?
What if the overspending, the avoidance, the paralysis, the guilt are actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do in response to fear, long before you ever had a bank account of your own?
This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Morgan, a global speaker, author, and founder of The Money Panel®.
Catherine spent 17 years as a financial adviser, so she knows the technical side of money inside out. But over time, she kept noticing the same thing: people would get the "right" advice but not be able to act on it.
Catherine recognised that something else was getting in the way, which is what her work is all about now. She founded The Money Panel®, wrote the international bestseller It's Not About the Money, and has built a whole framework around the idea that our money patterns don't live in our spreadsheets... They live in our bodies.
In this episode, we explore:
Why money feels like a difficult conversation, and what it's really about
How fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial lives
The concept of "money as energy"
Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real step
Why women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs us
How financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somatically
Why 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one opening
How AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living inside
How EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the body
What it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionary

Catherine brings a rare combination of financial expertise, deep psychological understanding, and lived experience to this conversation. For those of us whose relationship with money has always felt bigger, heavier, and more personal than it should, this episode offers something genuinely different to the standard budgeting apps and hacks that just don't work.
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. Their podcast, AHA Aha! Shared candid stories about ADHD realisations, including the unexpected, emotional and even funny ways ADHD symptoms can surface!
