My book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is OUT!

You're not alone in sensing the overwhelming pressures women face today, especially those of us navigating the complexities of ADHD and perimenopause. In today's episode, both Adele Wimsett and I are feeling the weight of societal expectations and the exhaustion that comes with trying to balance it all. To celebrate the release of my new book, today's episode features a powerful discussion with my friend Adele Wimsett, exploring why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.

While the feminist movement opened important doors, it also encouraged many of us to succeed within systems built by and for men. Systems which are shaped by patriarchal values that don’t consider the cyclical nature of women’s bodies. The pressure to constantly do, achieve, and keep up has left many of us burnt out, especially those navigating ADHD and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause.

Adele is a Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner who specialises in the powerful link between ADHD and hormonal health. Adele has dedicated her work to helping women and girls reconnect with their cycles and honour their rhythms, blending science with holistic tools to support women from menarche to menopause.

What You'll Learn:

• The impact of societal pressures on women leading to deep exhaustion and overwhelm.
• The impact of the feminist movement, the shift to more masculine characteristics and the pressure to ignore our cyclical nature.
• How historic patriarchal structures have evolved into the modern exhaustion we see today in women.
• The lack of support in modern work structures for women’s health, especially during hormonal changes like perimenopause.
• Capitalism's reliance on women’s insecurities and how to break free to find your inner calm.
• Progesterone's role in calming our nervous system, the treatments available and natural ways to support it.
• The role of stress management and caring for your adrenals to support wellbeing.
• Understanding what fulfils you, and what can be stripped back to find clarity.
• How to set compassionate boundaries, protect your energy, and gently prevent burnout.

In this week’s 'Wisdom' episode, we explore the connection between ADHD, perfectionism, and burnout, and how these patterns often shape our daily lives without us realising.

I've also written about this deeply personal topic in Chapter 6 (Prevent Burnout) of my upcoming new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit. On today's episode, we revisit conversations with Natalie Englander, an accredited senior CBT therapist and Michaela Thomas, a Clinical Psychologist, coach and author.

From procrastination and people-pleasing to self-criticism and the pressure to keep going, we unpack the emotional toll perfectionism can take. We also discuss practical tools like mindfulness and how reframing perfectionism with curiosity and compassion can help us work with our brains, not against them.

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.

Cycle tracking isn't a fad or something you can only do if you menstruate. Rooted in ancient wisdom, modern science, and female empowerment, understanding your cycles is key to helping you channel and nurture your energy, enhance your strengths, honour your needs and boost emotional well-being.

Many of us are navigating the complex interplay between our hormonal cycles and ADHD, and this conversation aims to shed light on how cycle tracking can help us reconnect with our bodies. We’ll explore how hormonal fluctuations impact our well-being and the importance of recognising these changes, not just as symptoms to endure, but as valuable insights into our overall health.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, co-authors of The Cycle Book. Together, they offer practical insights, personal stories, and expert guidance on how understanding your hormonal cycle can transform your wellbeing.

Laura, a certified sex and couples therapist, and Morgan, a seasoned midwife and reproductive care advocate, share their unique perspectives on navigating hormonal health through PMDD, endometriosis, postnatal depression, and beyond.

Preorder my book: The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit here.

What You'll Learn:

• The power of cycle tracking as a tool for self-understanding, self-advocacy, and healing
• Why no two cycles are the same, and how learning your hormonal patterns is essential
• The emotional and physical realities of conditions like PMDD, endometriosis, and postnatal depression (especially in neurodivergent women)
• How to begin advocating for yourself in a medical system that often overlooks women's hormonal health
• What to do when you’re not getting the support you need from healthcare providers, and how to persist without burning out
• Why it’s vital to start these conversations young, empowering girls to understand and trust their bodies
• The value of community, curiosity, and consistency in your hormone health journey

This episode is a compassionate call to action: your body is not a mystery, it’s a source of wisdom. With the right tools and support, every woman can learn to track, understand, and advocate for her hormonal wellbeing.

Do you notice yourself falling into patterns of people pleasing, masking, putting our partner’s needs first when it comes to sexual desires, sensory needs, intimacy, and relationships?

In this episode, I sit down with AuDHD authors and advocates Bontle Senne and Sara-Louise Ackrill for a validating, honest, and deeply important discussion about what it means to connect with others when you’re still learning to connect with yourself.

What You'll Learn:

• How masking, people pleasing, and putting your needs last can quietly erode intimacy.
• Why it’s valid and vital to talk about what feels good, what doesn’t, and what you need when it comes to sex.
• The impact of sensory sensitivity on sex, and how to advocate for your body and boundaries.
• What psychological safety in a relationship really means for neurodivergent people.
• When it's time to walk away from a relationship that doesn't understand or honour your neurodivergence.
