    Roberta Dombrowski: Breaking up with burnout
    Mar 2 2026
    Episode 207 with Roberta Dombrowski“Work is one of the only socially acceptable forms of addiction. We get rewarded for not having boundaries and for always taking on more and more things.”Roberta is an executive coach and founder of Learn Mindfully, where she helps leaders and teams thrive from the inside out.After rising quickly through leadership roles to become a VP in the tech world at age 29, Roberta realized her success was coming at a cost — she found herself burned out, anxious, and physically affected by the pressure to prove herself constantly. On the outside, she was the high‑performing executive. On the inside, she was white‑knuckling her way through burnout, complex trauma, and the isolation of often being the only woman or person of color in the room.In this conversation, Roberta and I discuss:How her late ADHD diagnosis helped her finally make sense of her childhood and school experienceThe overlap between ADHD, trauma, and burnout, especially for high‑achieving women, mothers, and entrepreneursWhat trauma‑informed leadership actually looks like day‑to‑day (hint: it’s not just more bubble baths)Why work is “one of the only socially acceptable forms of addiction” — and how to step out of that cycleHow to start loosening your grip on control, micromanagement, and over‑functioning without letting everything fall apartIf you’ve ever felt like your “success” is built on overfunctioning, perfectionism, and people-pleasing — and you’re desperate to break up with burnout but not sure how — this episode is definitely for you.Website: learnmindfully.coInstagram: @learn_mindfullyLinks & Resources:In Her Words (Roberta’s podcast)Free resource: Leadership Energy AuditFree resource: Reclamation JournalStrong Ground: The Lessons of Daring Leadership, the Tenacity of Paradox, and the Wisdom of the Human Spirit by Brené BrownTrauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky with Connie Burk- - - - - Episode edited by E Podcast ProductionsFind the transcript of this episode at www.womenandadhd.com/transcripts- - - - -Women & ADHD coaching: www.womenandadhd.com/coaching- - - - -Work 1-on-1 with Katy: www.womenandadhd.com/katy- - - - -Order the “Hey, it’s ADHD!” course: www.womenandadhd.com/adhdcourse- - - - -Did you love this episode?

  • Madeline Grace Matthews & Karla Pretorius: Finding our neurodivergent voice

    Madeline Grace Matthews & Karla Pretorius: Finding our neurodivergent voice
    Feb 2 2026

    Episode 206 with Madeline Grace Matthews & Karla Pretorius


    “I'm learning more and more how to be myself.”


    Madeline is 23, and she was diagnosed with autism and a mild cognitive disability as a child. Originally from the U.S., she currently lives with her missionary family in Thailand. She is also the author of the recent book “Nineteen Letters to Myself: Guided Reflections and Prompts for Hope and Healing from a Neurodivergent Perspective.”


    Madeline’s book started as a series of letters to her younger self — originally as a coping tool, and eventually as a way to make sense of her neurodivergence, as well as childhood trauma, big emotions, religious faith, and learning to see herself as “different, not less.”


    Karla is a psychotherapist and PhD candidate who began working with Madeline in 2021 and helped her write and publish the book. In the first half of the episode, the three of us discuss the process of writing the book and the healing power of showing our younger selves kindness and acceptance.


    In the second half of the episode, I sit down with Karla and hear a little more about her research on women and ADHD and the incredible work she’s doing in the neurodivergent community. Karla, who has ADHD herself, shares how she’s working to bridge academic research with lived experience.


    If you’re the parent of a neurodivergent teen or if you’ve been diagnosed in adulthood and you’re on a journey of reparenting your inner child, or if you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or simply misunderstood — this episode is definitely for you.

  • Jen Fry: Setting boundaries & saying no

    Jen Fry: Setting boundaries & saying no
    Jan 5 2026

    Episode 205 with Jen Fry.


    “I like to tell people that I’m not nice. I’m kind, but I’m not nice. I think niceness is weaponized way too much against people.”


    Jen is an educator, speaker, and author of the book “I Said No: How to Have Boundaries and Backbone While Not Being a Jerk.”


    Saying no is supposed to be simple — but for so many women with ADHD, it feels loaded with guilt, overthinking, and the fear of disappointing everyone around you.


    Jen is a former college volleyball coach with a PhD in sports geography, and she now works at the intersection of conflict, culture, and sport, speaking to teams and organizations around the country.


    We talk about the ADHD tendency to be a people-pleaser, and why Jen proudly says she’s kind, not nice. In this conversation, we talk about ADHD, hyperfocus, time blindness, imposter syndrome, and why so many high-achieving women end up chronically overcommitted, burnt out, and resentful.


    We also explore what it really takes to say no — not just to other people, but to our own overexcited ADHD brains, our endless ideas, and our impulse to fill every spare moment.


    If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, overcommitting, or worrying that saying no makes you “difficult,” this episode is going to hit very close to home.

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.

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.

I Relate!!!

Dr. Rosier was fantastic. Such a great interview. Her phone in the trash story reminded me of the time I threw away the full med bottle, rather than the empty one. Who does that?!? Was so grateful for my husband, who dug it out while I tried to hold it together for work. It was a terrible moment for me. Hearing both of your stories was healing for me. Thank you, both.

Threw away my full ADHD med bottle
