Ep. 15: Women, Work, & ADHD. Finding your THING with Special Guest Mellanie Parry

Ever wondered how ADHD affects women juggling a career, parenting, and daily life struggles? Tune in as we are joined by our guest Mellanie, to hear her personal journey of dealing with ADHD in the workplace. Still coming to terms with her late diagnosis, she describes the constant fight to fit into a world that seems so effortlessly managed by others, and the challenges of making a mark in the corporate setup.
She shares how transitioning from office spaces to working from home has significantly affected her productivity and mental health. Mellanie, with her fascinating insights, leads the conversation about the intriguing world of network marketing and how its particular challenges seem tailor-made for people living with ADHD.
She then turns the spotlight on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and its incredible impact on her mental health. We rage over how many individuals are denied medical assistance for peri-menopause symptoms purely based on their age, and throw light on the detrimental effects of menopause on a woman's career, especially when they are at its height. So sit tight, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready for an enlightening, emotional, and humorous journey into the world of ADHD, work, and women's health.
