  • The ADHD Sweet Spot: How to Find Work and a Life You Don’t Need to Recover From

    The ADHD Sweet Spot: How to Find Work and a Life You Don’t Need to Recover From
    Oct 29 2026
    You understand your ADHD. But what happens when you’re ready to live differently? Join me live in Manchester this December for The Next Chapter — an immersive event for women ready to move beyond understanding their ADHD and explore what comes next with more confidence, self-compassion and permission to be themselves. All surrounded by neurodivergent women who truly get it.Ready for your next chapter? Find out more and book your place. ______________________________________ In today’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I sit down with Amy Marie Hann, author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home and Family as a Mom with ADHD. And this conversation is for anyone who can do really big, complicated, creative things… but still feels completely floored by the dishwasher, laundry, meals, forms, life admin and all the tiny repetitive jobs that somehow never stop coming. Amy was diagnosed with ADHD at just five years old, and ADHD runs through her whole family. But even with that early diagnosis, medication and years of understanding her brain, adulthood still brought a whole new layer of challenges. The mental load. The overwhelm. The pressure to keep everything running. The feeling that everyone else seems to be managing it better. Then perimenopause hit, and everything got harder. We talk about why so many ADHD women swing between over-functioning and burnout, why complicated productivity systems rarely stick, and why the answer might not be becoming more organised or disciplined at all. Amy shares how she learned to simplify, work with her actual capacity and focus on the small number of boring-but-important things that keep life moving. This is a very practical conversation, but it’s also such a compassionate one. Because if you’ve ever looked around your house, your to-do list or your family life and thought, Why can’t I just keep on top of this? — there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You may just be trying to carry far too much. In this episode, we cover: Being diagnosed with ADHD at five, and what Amy understood — and didn’t understand — about ADHD growing up Why medication helped with school and focus but didn’t teach the life skills needed for adulthood How perimenopause can intensify ADHD symptoms, even when you already understand your diagnosis ADHD medication alongside sleep, exercise, lifestyle support and practical strategies Losing confidence in your abilities and choosing an “easier” path because of ADHD Finding the ADHD “sweet spot” between intense challenge, boredom and burnout Why ADHD brains may need meaningful challenge without an unsustainable pace Building work and a life around your energy instead of expecting eight-hour-a-day productivity Why ADHD mothers carry such a heavy mental load Unrealistic expectations, perfectionism and the feeling of never doing enough Why everything can feel urgent when prioritisation is difficult The cycle of long to-do lists, overdoing it and burnout Applying compassionate parenting strategies to yourself Amy’s “taxing tasks” approach and identifying the boring things that genuinely matter Why new planners and complicated systems often work temporarily because novelty is doing the heavy lifting Reducing daily executive-function demands by making basic routines repeatable Defining “good enough” instead of aiming for a perfectly organised home Why understanding your capacity matters more than copying someone else’s routine Simplifying when outsourcing isn’t financially realistic ADHD, motherhood and the shame attached to domestic expectations Sharing the load with partners and finding the household tasks that suit each person The power of ADHD women finding spaces where they can ask honest questions without shame Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome and introducing Amy Marie Hann 02:00 - Being diagnosed with ADHD at five 03:00 - What an early diagnosis did — and didn’t — explain 04:00 - ADHD, adulthood and perimenopause 05:00 - Medication, school and self-belief 08:00 - Medication, lifestyle and practical strategies 09:30 - Finding the right pace for an ADHD brain 10:30 - The cycle of challenging work, boredom and burnout 11:30 - Finding your ADHD sweet spot 13:00 - Trying different paths and discovering what fits 15:00 - Building work around your actual energy 16:00 - Why your best work may not require eight-hour days 17:00 - Finding something you can stay interested in 18:00 - ADHD, organisation and the myth that every ADHD woman looks the same 20:00 - Perfectionism, over-functioning and coping behaviours 21:00 - The mental load of ADHD motherhood 22:00 - Unrealistic expectations and the endless to-do list 23:00 - Parenting yourself with more compassion 24:00 - The six or seven boring things that matter 25:00 - Why complicated systems fail 26:00 - Executive-function energy and removing daily decisions 27:00 - Amy’s three daily “taxing tasks” 28:00 - Working full-time, ...

  • 40 Years of ADHD: What Pioneer Dr Kathleen Nadeau Has Learned About ADHD Women, Late Diagnosis & Thriving

    40 Years of ADHD: What Pioneer Dr Kathleen Nadeau Has Learned About ADHD Women, Late Diagnosis & Thriving
    Oct 21 2026
    You're understanding your ADHD. But what happens when you’re ready to actually live differently? Join me live in Manchester this December for The Next Chapter — an immersive event for women ready to move beyond understanding their ADHD and explore what comes next with more confidence, self-compassion and permission to be themselves. All surrounded by like-minded neurodivergent women who truly get it. Ready for your next chapter? Find out more: Book your place here⁠. ________________________________________ For decades, ADHD research focused overwhelmingly on hyperactive boys while girls and women with ADHD were missed, misdiagnosed or told they were anxious or depressed. ADHD expert, Dr Kathleen Nadeau has spent more than 40 years helping to change our understanding of ADHD in women. On this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by internationally recognised clinical psychologist, author and ADHD pioneer Kathleen G. Nadeau, PhD. Kathleen has written or co-authored 18 books on ADHD and was awarded the CHADD Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025. Her ground breaking work has helped bring ADHD in girls, women and older adults into a conversation that once centred almost entirely on hyperactive young boys. And having ADHD herself, alongside decades of clinical experience and generations of ADHD within her own family, Kathleen brings a perspective that goes far beyond diagnostic criteria. We talk about what ADHD looked like when Kathleen entered the field in the 1970s, why so many intelligent girls and women were missed and what happens when a woman spends her life believing she simply needs to try harder. We also get into hormones, perimenopause and postpartum mental health, the physical conditions increasingly being seen alongside ADHD and why our healthcare systems still struggle when women’s physical and mental health needs intersect. But this isn’t only a conversation about what has gone wrong. Kathleen talks beautifully about finding the environment in which your ADHD brain can thrive, the healing that can come with a later-life diagnosis and why women need connection with other women who finally understand. You do not have to spend the rest of your life trying to make yourself fit the wrong environment. Sometimes, you need to plant yourself in a different garden. ________________________________________ In this episode, we cover: How our understanding of ADHD has changed since Kathleen began working in the field in the late 1970s Why ADHD was once seen almost entirely as a condition affecting hyperactive young boys The moment Kathleen began recognising ADHD in parents, adults and within her own family Why bright, high-achieving children can have ADHD even when they're doing exceptionally well academically Looking beyond traditional ADHD diagnostic criteria to understand the wider experience How girls and women with ADHD were overlooked and the work that began changing that Rejection sensitivity, feeling different and the impact of growing up without an explanation for your ADHD Why ADHD can be both challenging and a source of curiosity, connection and different ways of thinking Whether our schools and workplaces are asking ADHD brains to function in environments that don't suit them ADHD hormones, puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and why the research is still catching up Why women's ADHD symptoms have so often been misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression What happens when psychiatry, women's health and other areas of medicine operate in separate silos The physical conditions and health difficulties increasingly being seen alongside ADHD Why connection with other ADHD women can be such an important part of healing Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in your 60s, 70s or later, and navigating grief for the life you might have lived Why a late diagnosis can offer more healing than regret Kathleen's “right garden” approach and finding the environments, relationships and work where you can thrive High-achieving ADHD women who hold everything together at work before collapsing behind closed doors The invisible expectations still placed on women to manage families, homes, relationships and emotional labour Why ADHD treatment needs to go beyond medication, coaching or therapy in isolation Learning to care for yourself, follow your heart and stop measuring yourself by how well you meet everyone else's needs Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome and introducing Dr Kathleen Nadeau 02:25 - Kathleen's personal ADHD “learning lab” 04:00 - Working with ADHD since the late 1970s 06:00 - How ADHD diagnosis and treatment looked in the early days 07:00 - Realising adults didn't simply grow out of ADHD 09:30 - Writing some of the earliest books about ADHD 11:20 - Who was being missed? 12:00 - Gifted children, hidden ADHD and looking beyond school performance 13:00 - Looking beyond the diagnostic criteria 15:00 - What the early ADHD criteria left out 16:00 - Rejection sensitivity ...

Amanda has spent 18 years building businesses, 13 of them undiagnosed. Burnout after burnout. Bankruptcy. A marketing agency that grew from five people to 40 in three months. After her ADHD diagnosis at 42, she sold it and started again, this time brain first. Champagne dreams and lemonade energy. The fear of burning out again. God mode and the crash that follows. And why so many of us end up building a prison instead of a business. Recorded live, with your questions answered in real time.
