  • Danielle Elliot: The rise in diagnoses: Why women? Why now?
    Apr 7 2025

    Episode 197 with Danielle Elliot.


    “I would love to see the conversation move towards less questioning of women when they talk about having ADHD.”


    Danielle is a health and science journalist, documentarian, and creator and host of Climbing the Walls, a new 6-part podcast series produced by Understood.org that releases April 9 (in 2 days!).


    Danielle was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 36 amid a surge of ADHD diagnoses in women since the pandemic. In her podcast series, she travels the country speaking with mental health professionals and women with ADHD to get answers to her big questions, like “Why women?” “Why now?” — and are we as a society equipped to support these many recently diagnosed women?


    In today’s interview, Danielle shares her own diagnosis story as well as what she discovered throughout this investigative journey. She shares what surprised her most, and where she feels the conversation around neurodivergence — especially among women — needs to be headed.

  • You Might Also Like: ADHD Aha! from Understood.org
    Mar 31 2025

    Hey friends! I'm excited to share something different with you - an episode from another podcast called ADHD Aha! It’s produced by the people at Understood.org, and it’s hosted by Laura Key.


    (In fact, you might remember Laura as my guest in Episode 90 of Women & ADHD.)


    This episode features Jessica McCabe, the brilliant woman behind the popular YouTube channel and New York Times best-selling book, How to ADHD. Jessica talks to Laura Key about motherhood, social anxiety, and ADHD medication …


    - - -


    How to ADHD creator Jessica McCabe has been the source of many ADHD “aha” moments — so what were her ADHD “aha” moments?


    Jessica was diagnosed when she was 12 years old but didn’t start to look into what ADHD meant for her until she was 32. Taking ADHD medication felt like putting on glasses — experiencing the world as everyone else did. But she didn’t have the skills and strategies to cope with ADHD.


    So, she started making YouTube videos...and the rest is history. Listen in as Jessica answers Laura’s many questions, including: What’s it like for her to be a new mom with ADHD? Does she ever get a vulnerability hangover? And why doesn’t she think she’s cool?

  • Lisa Dee: Yes, you can be happy and healthy with ADHD
    Mar 3 2025

    Episode 196 with Lisa Dee.


    “ADHD girls deserve to be healthy and happy. I refuse to subscribe to the doom-and-gloom narrative. I wanted something better, and I knew others did, too.”


    Lisa is an Irish health and fitness coach based in London, and the founder of “Healthy Happy ADHD.” After building a successful fitness enterprise, Lisa's ADHD diagnosis at 31 sparked a personal health and nutrition transformation. She soon became inspired her to share her story and a message for other ADHD women: You can be healthy and happy with ADHD!


    Her message certainly resonated — she has built a social media community of more than 400,000 followers, and at the end of 2022, she grabbed the attention of a book editor at Random House.


    Lisa's new book, “Happy, Healthy ADHD,” is more than just another wellness guide — it’s a game-changer for ADHD women who have struggled with rigid health advice that simply doesn’t work for their brains.


    Lisa blends personal experience, cutting-edge research, and practical strategies to help women break free from shame and build sustainable, ADHD-friendly habits.


    Unlike conventional fitness and nutrition plans that rely on willpower and discipline, Lisa’s approach embraces flexibility, self-compassion, and fun. She dives into the science of how ADHD affects motivation, energy, hormones, and habits — offering simple, adaptable solutions that work with your brain, not against it.


    In this episode, Lisa shares how to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset, find joy in movement, and nourish your body without overwhelm. Whether you’ve struggled with consistency, burnout, or guilt around health and fitness, this conversation is packed with insights and encouragement to help you feel your best — on your own terms.

Terminology

I am 48-yr professional technical single mom of 3 girls, and I am about 3 yrs since my adhd diagnosis. I found this podcast about 6 months ago. Here are select ways I find this podcast helpful…
-Terminology around the experience of being a woman with adhd. I will hear a word in this context and I can look it up and know it’s a thing.
-I get ideas for strategies I can try.
- I get validation of my experiences.
- Sometimes gives me the words to express my experience and struggles.
-Reflect on my experience and process. Helps to answer some of my questions about my experience, or even to identify things I don’t struggle with is helpful.
-Hearing the real voices of real women describing the things I struggle with is very powerful and reassuring about my experience.

You have helped me find myself!

You have helped me beyond words! I finally feel like I am beginning to understand who I am. I knew I was a hot mess but couldn't figure out why I was always so overwhelmed in what should have been normal situations...even having someone over to my house caused incredible anxiety. Thank you for helping me understand why my brain works the way it does and I finally don't feel so alone!

Greatful

I really appreciate the story of bad student. Most of the stories I hear of women are usually working extra hard or just being natural at it. I was a horrendous student and just could not get it right until as an adult when diagnosed and putting measures in place to keep things stable.

SOO much love!!

I was diagnosed before the pandemic shut everything down. In the beginning it was more of an answer to why I felt "lazy". After finding your podcast on a whim and binge listening, I am learning that I need to stop looking at ADHD as an excuse and look at it as it is who I am! Every episode that I have listened to so far is eye opening and very "I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!" Thank you so much for creating this slice of community.

I'm learning so much

I listened yesterday and am amazed that this describes me. I've been on meds for years but never knew how to explain myself to others. I'm so happy to learn more tips and tricks to manage this amazing crazy life.

I Relate!!!

I really enjoyed saying, "that's me" so many times or "yep". Ms Propok inspired me and listening to you ladies talk as two women with neurodivergent.
