ADHD with Confidence

Why don't we feel good enough as women with ADHD? I believe it stems from these two categories:

(1) We measure ourselves by external expectations (social media, family, culture), and

(2) We fail to recognize our own strengths and contributions. 

Today's episode will help you explore where your expectations are coming from, how to let of of unhealthy or unrealistic expectations and how to finally recognize that you've been good enough all along.

I hope you enjoy it!

In today's episode, I am joined by Dr. Jennie Byrne — psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author of ADHD in Professionals — for a practical, research-based conversation about why “ADHD” is a misleading name and how to adopt a strengths-focused view.

We discuss how ADHD shows up differently in adults, the overlap with anxiety, and why it’s better framed as a brain variant rather than a disorder.

The episode covers stigma (especially for adults and women), the challenges high-achieving professionals face—masking, household management, health maintenance, and the toll of modern attention-draining technology—and the surprising strengths of many ADHD minds, including creativity, hyper-focus, and resilience under pressure.

Dr. Byrne shares concrete recommendations: know your brain and body, prioritize movement, consider formal assessment and treatment options, delegate and rewrite cultural assumptions, minimize attention-grabbing tech, and structure work around peak focus times.

Nobody likes rejection. Especially for those of us with ADHD where it stings even more as we navigate Rejection Sensitivity or Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.

But, here's the reality. We will have to deal with rejection at some point or another.

In today's episode, I will give you 5 questions you can ask yourself to figure out how you want to respond to rejection in ADHD.

Because we can't choose other's thoughts or actions, but we can choose our own.

When you are met with rejection or failure, I want you to ask yourself these two things:

Is this true (what are the facts)?

How else could I view this situation?

I hope you enjoy today's episode!
