Episode 57 with Gloria Joy Sherrod
"People look at me and think, 'You’re so calm.' And I’m like, 'It’s chaos in here.'"
Gloria is a licensed professional counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults. In addition to her counseling work, she also provides ADHD coaching services.
Gloria is passionate about advocating for equity in education, access to care, and ending mental health stigma.
We talk all about how to know whether it’s ADHD or something else entirely, as well as some of the stigmas around stimulant medications, and we also discuss her book, “Adulting with ADHD,” and her new documentary of the same name, which releases this week and tells the real-life stories of 5 adults navigating life with ADHD.

Episode 136 with Georgia Yexley.
“After my diagnosis, I was flooded with memories. There was all this footage that I was scrolling through and analyzing with a new lens.”
Georgia is an inclusive sustainable mobility expert and advocate based in London. Having worked with hundreds of cities across the globe on achieving their sustainable transport aims, she now advises the public, private, and third sector on achieving inclusive sustainable mobility, through her business, Loud Mobility.
Following the sudden loss of a loved one, Georgia went on a journey of self-discovery that led to her ADHD diagnosis. She wrote an open letter to her industry peers opening up about her experiences and diagnosis, and has begun the process of integrating this new awareness into her work.
We talk all about the outcomes of her self-disclosure, her road to establishing professional boundaries, and how she manages work/life balance with her new business.
Georgia shares how the best thing she gained from her diagnosis was a capacity for self-compassion she never realized was dearly lacking, and a greater awareness of how important it is to live in alignment with her values.

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?

Episode 17 with Kate Moryoussef.
“I feel less exhausted, less mentally drained, because I’m no longer constantly trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.”
Kate is a UK-based wellbeing & emotional freedom coach, host of The Ambitious Mum Podcast and a mother to four kids.
She’s passionate about helping people rediscover their confidence, wellbeing, creativity and clarity, while tapping into their expansive potential that may have been sat dormant for a long time.
By using Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) she enables her clients to recognize what’s been holding them back and guides them to trust their inner connection and wisdom that’s been there all along. Kate works online using EFT with many ADHD and non-ADHD clients across the world.
Kate’s brothers were both diagnosed with ADHD when she was a child, but it was overlooked in her at the time. We talk about her journey of putting the pieces together, as well as how she discovered the Emotional Freedom Technique and tapping, and Kate explains how and why the physical act of tapping can be so helpful for our ADHD brains.

Amy Brown: Sports, jokes & slow processing speed
Women & ADHD
10/18/21 • 58 min
Episode 56 with Amy Brown
"I have trouble remembering what I’ve read. I have to read the same paragraph over and over. It drives me nuts."
Amy is a Director of Outbound Transportation for Dollar Tree, where she’s responsible for shipping the company’s merchandise from their distribution centers to the company’s stores.
Amy & I talk about her experience with sports growing up — she was a Division 1 basketball player in college — and looking back she feels like athletics and an active lifestyle were so helpful in managing ADHD earlier in her life.
We also talk about slow processing speed, something quite common for those of us with ADHD, and the various ways in which we both experience it — including the agony of rarely getting other people’s jokes!

Dr. Lola Day: Is ADHD really a superpower?
Women & ADHD
05/17/21 • 63 min
Episode 34 with Dr. Lola Day.
"We're hyperactive in our minds. We may be quiet, but we're thinking about 1,001 different things."
Dr. Day is double boarded pediatric and fetal cardiologist as well as a productivity and work life strategist for women who have ADHD.
As someone who did very well in school and was top of her class, so never thought she could have ADHD. But she also knew she really struggled with tasks that were mundane and was constantly down on herself for not achieving everything with the same fervor and enthusiasm as she did medicine.
We talk about the stigmas surrounding ADHD, especially in the medical field, as well as the notion of ADHD being a superpower and how it can be problematic if we’re not willing to address the very real struggles women face, including the trauma of living life undiagnosed. Lola calls those struggles our kryptonite, and her goal is to help other women hone their strengths while targeting their kryptonite so they can create strategies for success and balance in their lives. Lola is incredible, so sit back and enjoy!

![Women & ADHD - Taucha Post: Yoga & Post-it® Notes [Top 10 Replay with Bonus Update]](https://storage.googleapis.com/goodpods-images-bucket/episode_images/8c71c8fcfb1580a4a50ce771517f3fc05d1e18cba5989ab5bc42df7a9e0fe93f.avif)

Episode 153 with Taucha Post. [Replay]
Welcome back to my special Top 10 Replay series, where I’m re-releasing 10 interviews that really stood out to me and have stayed with me in some particular way — either because of the topic, or the conversation, or the feedback I received from listeners. I’ve chosen 10 episodes that I feel deserve a replay — so hopefully if you missed this one the first time around you’ll get a chance to hear it, or if you listened to it when it originally aired, I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it again.
This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Taucha Post, which originally aired as Episode 18 in March of 2021.
I reached out to Taucha because she was on Instagram as @adhd.yoga and I wanted to talk about the benefits of yoga and mindfulness when you have ADHD — and we do talk a lot about that — but what really stayed with me after this conversation was her vulnerability as we talked about school and work and difficulties balancing multiple tasks and the different ways that has affected us in our lives. Taucha is so delightful — I instantly fell in love with her and I know you will, too.
Bonus Update:
Make sure to stick around because the end of the episode, I check back in with Taucha to get an update on her life since the original interview. Not only is Taucha a mom now, she and her husband bought a house, and she is a newly-certified ADHD coach. We talk about her decision to go into ADHD coaching and her plans for the future! I’m so excited for Taucha’s new path and for all of her future clients — she’s a real gem!

Episode 26 with Rachel Morgan-Trimmer
"We are used to being told 'No.' Especially women with ADHD; we're invalidated all the time."
Rachel is a neurodiversity consultant, entrepreneur of 16 years, and self-described “weirdo.” She helps companies recruit, retain and develop neurodiverse staff through a unique program of workshops and coaching. She’s autistic and has ADHD, and says that she has had an impressive array of mental health conditions, which gives her an insight and understanding of people who are “not normal”.
Rachel founded SparkleClass to help Manchester’s tech community harness the talents of neurodiverse individuals. She lives in the UK with her family and says she is passionate about accessibility, obsessed with food, and can often be found up a hill.
I loved chatting with Rachel about the intersection of ADHD and autism in adult women, especially in perimenopause, as well as whether or not it’s necessary to get a medical diagnosis when it comes to ADHD or autism. We also talk a bit about chronic volunteerism, and the stress of motherhood in ADHD, as well as some great tips for self-care, so you might want to grab a pen and paper for this episode.

Episode 135 with Diana Costea.
“Society wants us to focus on one thing and do it well, but that will never be me.”
Diana is a 22-year-old from Romania. She has a degree in psychology and is currently volunteering in Turkey as a youth worker and English teacher with the European Solidarity Corps Program.
Diana discovered her ADHD a little over a year ago, and since then, she feels she finally has the courage to allow herself to be different and instead of minimizing or masking it, to befriend her neurodivergence and help others see the world through different angles.
Diana has also started a career as a personal development coach, where she supports and guides young or aspiring entrepreneurs in their career journeys.
We talk about authenticity & radical acceptance, learning how to ask for help, and finding and developing our own paths, despite what others might expect from us.

Episode 103 with Christine Syrad.
“Our attention is like a river. Sometimes you could do with a dam because you can’t stop yourself from focusing. And other times you go through massive droughts.”
Christine is a gastronomist and fermentation enthusiast who also happens to speak 5 languages. She grew up between the UK, Japan, and Italy and has spent the last decade or so in Switzerland, where she now resides with her husband and daughter.
She is also the face of fermentable, where she not only teaches workshops to other chefs about the art of fermentation, but also packages and sells her own fermented products.
Christine and I talk all about her globe-trotting childhood and mixed-race heritage, and how her ADHD contributed to her many varied career paths over the years, as well as how her hypersensitivity helped her learn so many languages over the years.
We also talk about her years living in Japan and how ADHD is viewed in Japanese culture.
Christine is an absolute delight and a wonderful storyteller — I truly hope you love this interview as much as I did!
