• Why High-Achieving ADHD Women Keep Burning Out: a Regenerative Conversation with Pippa Grange 28.05.2026 44min

  I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!Have you spent years pushing through, overriding what your body is telling you, performing at full capacity, and wondering why you keep burning out?For so many women with ADHD, the drive to do more, prove more, and be more is relentless. We have the passion, the ambition, the energy. But when that inner motor collides with a nervous system that desperately needs rest and renewal, something eventually gives way.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Dr Pippa Grange, a doctor of performance psychology, culture coach, author, and the psychologist behind England's renaissance World Cup campaign of 2018. You may also know of Pippa Grange through her portrayal in the recent Dear England, played excellently by Jodie Whittaker!Pippa has spent 25 years working with elite athletes, teams, and leaders across sport and industry, and her new book, Life Reclaimed: Find Freedom from Chronic Overperformance, is the culmination of everything she has learned, including from her own experience of burnout.Pippa's framework for what she calls regenerative performance feels like it was made for our community, and it challenges everything we've been taught about what it means to be "successful".In this episode, we explore:Why chronic overperformance is so prevalent in neurodivergent people and what keeps us stuck in itThe ecological lens Pippa uses to understand performance and why nature is the master teacherHow elite sport prioritises not just performance, but also rest and renewal to optimise output and prevent burnoutThe power of honesty to reduce masking and burnoutThe four principles of regenerative performance and listening to your needsMoving off autopilot and learning to check in with your nervous system by asking what it needs, rather than pushing throughWhy diversifying your modes and speeds is especially powerful for ADHD brainsWhy pulling back is not a failing, it's a smart performance strategyWhat Pippa learned from her own burnout and how she works differently nowThree types of honesty and the subtle ways we are unfaithful to ourselves without realisingWhy "wholebeing" matters more than wellbeingPippa brings a rare combination of elite performance experience and genuine human warmth to this conversation. For those of us with restless minds and high ambitions who keep burning out despite doing everything right, this episode offers a completely different way of thinking about what sustainable success can look like.This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• The Gentle Power of Herbal Medicine for ADHD Women: Natural Ways to Support Sleep, Focus and Hormonal Health 21.05.2026 43min

  After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing.Plants have been supporting human health for thousands of years. But could they support your ADHD brain, too?This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Ellen Rowland, a Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist who works 1:1 with neurodivergent people.Ellen isn't here to replace anything that's already working for you. Instead, she uses evidence-based plant medicines, diet and lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system, support focus, balance energy, address hormonal, gut or other health issues, and ease emotional overwhelm, in a way that feels safe and sustainable.In this episode, we explore:Ellen's personal journey, what led her to herbal medicine, and what it actually isThe cultural history of plant-based medicine in Central AmericaHow modern-day life demands, such as high expectations, family demands, and constant task-switching, contribute to overwhelm in ADHDSmall things you can weave into your day alongside herbal medicine as a scaffold for supportWhy people come to Ellen, what she can help with, and how she works collaboratively alongside GPsHow to start supporting yourself without access to a medical herbalist, including German and Roman chamomileHerbs for calming down in the evening, and herbs for when you need to wake up and focusHow essential oils and aromatherapy work, and the remarkable healing power of scentEllen brings a whole-person, neurodivergent-informed approach to this conversation. For those of us who feel like we're still missing something despite doing all the "right" things, this episode offers a gentle and genuinely interesting new layer of support.Resources mentionedThe Healing Power of Scent - a beginner's guide to essential oilsHerbal Reality - evidence-based information about herbal medicineFind Ellen & her products: Amber Luna Shop - use code WOMENSWELL10 for 10% off products and your first appointment with EllenThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• Healing Your Money Trauma: Why Finances Feel So Overwhelming with ADHD 14.05.2026 53min

  Did you grow up feeling like you were “bad with money” before you ever understood your ADHD?What if the overspending, the avoidance, the paralysis, the guilt are actually your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do in response to fear, long before you ever had a bank account of your own?This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Catherine Morgan, a global speaker, author, and founder of The Money Panel®.Catherine spent 17 years as a financial adviser, so she knows the technical side of money inside out. But over time, she kept noticing the same thing: people would get the "right" advice but not be able to act on it.Catherine recognised that something else was getting in the way, which is what her work is all about now. She founded The Money Panel®, wrote the international bestseller It's Not About the Money, and has built a whole framework around the idea that our money patterns don't live in our spreadsheets... They live in our bodies.In this episode, we explore:Why money feels like a difficult conversation, and what it's really aboutHow fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses show up in our financial livesThe concept of "money as energy"Why separating our self-worth from our net worth is the first real stepWhy women tend to carry money stories differently than men and what that costs usHow financial stress shows up physically in the body, and how to work with it somaticallyWhy 2026 feels like a closing door, and 2027 a new one openingHow AI is reshaping careers and identity, and how to use it to spot the money patterns you're living insideHow EFT can help release fear-based money patterns that are stored in the bodyWhat it looks like to move beyond healing into becoming a true money visionaryCatherine brings a rare combination of financial expertise, deep psychological understanding, and lived experience to this conversation. For those of us whose relationship with money has always felt bigger, heavier, and more personal than it should, this episode offers something genuinely different to the standard budgeting apps and hacks that just don't work.This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia. Their podcast, AHA Aha!

• The Messy Reality of Parenting Neurodivergent Kids - 'Everyone Gets A Juice Box' Takeover 11.05.2026 34min

  Have you ever looked back at the parent you were before you understood your child's neurodivergence and felt a quiet, heavy wave of regret? Not because you were a bad parent, but because you just didn't have the information you needed yet.In this week's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re doing something a little different! I want to share an episode of another podcast (from Understood.org) with you called Everyone Gets a Juice Box, and I want to share it with you as I know so many of you not only have ADHD, but are also raising kids who are neurodivergent.In this episode, Jessica is joined by Dion Chavis. A few years ago, Dion's son was diagnosed with autism, his teenage daughter received an ADHD diagnosis, and shortly after, in his early 40s, Dion was diagnosed with ADHD himself. Instead of looking away, he looked back with honesty, compassion, and a willingness to do things differently.In this episode, we explore:Why a late diagnosis so often sends us back through our children's childhoods and why that grief is validThe difference between parenting from selfishness and parenting from selflessness, and how awareness changes everythingWhy social connection matters just as much as academic achievement for neurodivergent childrenHow Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria shows up in ADHD teenagers and what it looks like in friendshipsThe power of openly normalising conversations about diagnosis, medication and therapy within your familyWhy giving your child grace starts with giving yourself grace firstHow fathers of neurodivergent children are finding each other — and why that community changes everythingIf you've ever whispered "I should have known better" to yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were doing the best you could, with what you had, in the moment you were in. And that is enough.This week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• Were You ‘Too Much’ — Or Just Misunderstood? ADHD, Trauma & Finding Your True Self 07.05.2026 51min

  What if the labels you’ve carried throughout your life didn't have to define your story?In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Miranda Arieh, a multi-award-winning motivational speaker, mental health educator, and transformation coach. Miranda is the founder of the pioneering HEROES Programme and an advocate for changing how we view mental health, neurodiversity and emotional regulation.Miranda uses her lived experience to fuel her passion for helping others make lasting transformations to their lives by learning how to effectively work with all our human experiences of emotional suffering.This conversation is an invitation to look back at your past through a lens of neurodivergence—not to find "fault," but to find the compassion and forgiveness needed to move forward.In this episode, we explore:How turning anger into passion can shift the narrative around emotional dysregulation and neurodivergence.What "trauma-informed care" actually looks like in practice and why it’s vital for the ND community.Miranda’s perspective on how high-masking ADHD and autism intersect with complex childhood trauma.Why Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) feels different in a neurodivergent nervous system and why "not everyone feels it" the same way.The cost of masking for safety, the pain of forgetting your true self, and the beauty of rediscovery.Learning the importance of coregulating with ourselves to find internal stability.How a formal diagnosis can be the "missing piece" that provides clarity and self-acceptance.The SAVE Method - a practical strategy for regulating emotions and practising effective self-advocacy.How to create healthy boundaries and space for the right people without abandoning yourself in the process.This episode is a vital reminder that your emotional experiences are valid, and by understanding the "why" behind your brain and your history, lasting transformation becomes possible.Timestamps02:15 - Exploring Trauma and Neurodivergence15:00 - Understanding Rejection Sensitivity in Neurodivergence33:37 - The Journey to Authenticity40:53 - Navigating Relationships with Others and Self44:36 - Introduction to the SAVE MethodThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• Medical Gaslighting, Women’s Health & ADHD: Why So Many of Us Are Dismissed 30.04.2026 54min

  What happens when you’re both a doctor… and the patient who isn’t being listened to?In this episode of ADHD Women’s Wellbeing, I’m joined by Dr Liz Murray, a doctor, activist, artist, and founder of Mortal + Strong. After 15 years navigating chronic illness, including lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriage, Liz shares what it’s like to experience the healthcare system from both sides.This conversation is about what often gets missed, female health symptoms that are normalised, the moments of dismissal that stay with you, and why for many neurodivergent women, why navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming, invalidating, and exhausting.In this episode, we explore:Liz's journey of living with lupus, endometriosis, and miscarriageLiz's experience of navigating the healthcare system as both doctor and patientThe impact of normalising heavy and painful periods on delayed endometriosis and fibroids diagnosesThe gaps in menstrual health education and what doctors aren’t taught to look forThe reality of medical gatekeeping and the “micro-traumas” of feeling dismissedWhy GPs are under pressure to know everything, and how that impacts patient careThe challenge for women with ADHD may experience in communicating symptoms in short appointmentsHow ADHD can make women more sensitive to hormonal changesPractical advice for appointments to communicate more effectivelyThe importance of self-advocacy in medical settingsWhy a holistic approach to women’s health matters (including diet, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle)How we can better support the next generation to advocate for their healthThis episode is both validating and practical, offering insight, language, and tools to help you feel more confident advocating for your health.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing07:41 - Navigating the Challenges of Endometriosis14:11 - Understanding Women's Health: The Overlap of Hormones and Neurodiversity23:21 - Navigating Hormonal Health: The Patient's Perspective37:47 - Addressing the Rift in Doctor-Patient Relationships40:03 - Understanding Endometriosis and Women's Health49:17 - Managing Health Holistically: The Interconnection of ConditionsSupport and information on topics raised in today's episode: The Miscarriage Association Website The Miscarriage Association helpline and support servicesEndometriosis UK Support NetworkThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• ADHD Isn’t Laziness: Understanding Neurodivergence at Work, in Parenting & Within Yourself with Kristen Pressner 23.04.2026 50min

  For so many women, ADHD has been misunderstood for decades — often internalised as laziness, failure, or not trying hard enough.But what if that story was never true to begin with?In this week’s episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by Kristen Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity for a conversation on ADHD, leadership, parenting, and why understanding your brain can change how you live, work, and relate to yourself.Kristen brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation, sharing what it’s been like raising four neurodivergent children while navigating a high-powered career, and how this journey has reshaped the way she understands ADHD, both at home and in the workplace.This is a conversation that gently challenges some of the narratives many of us have grown up with, particularly the idea that ADHD is about laziness or lack of discipline, and instead invites us to explore what might be possible when we approach ourselves (and others) with more curiosity, compassion, and understanding.In this episode, we explore:Kristen's experience of supporting her family through their neurodivergence diagnosisThe different emotions that can come with an ADHD diagnosisWhy understanding the biology of ADHD can help us work with our brainsThe impact of undiagnosed neurodivergence on mental health and relationshipsWhy so many people may not recognise themselves in traditional narrativesHow creating non-judgmental environments can reduce shame in those with ADHDHow to feel safe to survive, which allows you to thriveWhy knowing your needs can be tricky, and how to gently explore thisPractical ways workplaces and managers can support neurodivergent employees with meaningful, individualised accommodationsHow Kristen has brought her lived experience into her leadership work to support others more effectivelyThe concept of a “brain friend” and how having someone alongside you can make navigating life with ADHD feel less overwhelmingHow tools like AI can support neurodivergent people to process thoughts, communicate needs, and better understand themselvesThis episode is a reminder that there is nothing “wrong” with your brain, and that with the right support, understanding, and space to explore what actually works for you, things can begin to feel a little more possible.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing00:48 - Kristen's Family's Journey of Neurodivergence12:30 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Family Dynamics29:40 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Parenting37:51 - Understanding Neurodivergence and Its Impact on RelationshipsThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

• Dyslexia, ADHD & Why Life Feels Harder Than It Should (Even When You’re Capable) 16.04.2026 50min

  What if the reason life feels harder than it “should” isn’t a personal failing… but something that’s been missed all along?In this eye-opening episode, Dr Jacob Santhouse reveals how dyslexia goes far beyond reading and writing, and why so many women with ADHD may be living with an undetected piece of their story.If I asked you to describe dyslexia, what would you say? Letters, reading and numbers? You're not alone, but this week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Jacob Santhouse is here to show us just how much more there is to the story.Dyslexia touches learning, self-esteem, executive functioning, and the exhausting daily admin of simply getting through life, and often goes hand in hand with ADHD, creating a unique and complex set of challenges for those navigating life with both.Dr Jacob Santhouse is a dyslexic counsellor and coach, who supports dyslexic individuals in developing self-esteem, understanding their brains, and figuring out how to navigate life more effectively. So, if you've ever wondered why life feels so much harder than it seems to for everyone else, this episode might just give you the answer you have been waiting for.In this episode, we explore:The misunderstandings behind dyslexia and how it impacts more than reading and writingWhat a late dyslexia diagnosis can mean for adultsHow understanding dyslexia helps you to work strategically, instead of against yourselfHow dyslexia and ADHD often coexist, and how to begin to untangle the twoThe truth about colour overlays and why they are so often incorrectly associated with dyslexiaThe impact of dyslexia on automaticity, working memory and executive functioningHow masking shows up in dyslexia and promotes avoidant behavioursThe lesser-known ways dyslexia can present that even healthcare professionals need to knowTips to support long-term memory and how teachers can encourage real, lasting learningJacob's advice for anyone who is currently wondering whether dyslexia might be part of their storyThrough this conversation, Jacob's knowledge and awareness will help you develop strategies and a deeper understanding of your experiences, and potentially provide the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing02:42 - Understanding Dyslexia Beyond Reading and Writing11:25 - Understanding Dyslexia and ADHD28:19 - The Intersection of Dyslexia and Gender: Challenges Faced by Women35:14 - Exploring the Nuances of Dyslexia39:21 - Understanding NeurodivergenceThe ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!My first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event sold out, and now the full experience is available to you wherever you are, whenever it feels right.Alongside three neuro-affirming experts, we spent four hours exploring the questions that matter most to late-diagnosed women.

  This week on the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Jennifer McKenzie, a somatic trauma therapist and holistic educator.This week's episode covers something we haven't explored before: the impact of trauma, abuse, addiction and neurodivergence on the body resulting from years of masking, not fitting in, surviving and never quite feeling safe enough to stop.Jennifer speaks openly about her trauma and surviving homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse, and rape, raising four children whilst living with chronic pain and disability, and receiving her AuDHD diagnosis later in life. Jennifer's approach to healing is unapologetic and rebellious, reminding us that recovery and self-improvement are possible for everyone, no matter where they start.In this episode, we explore:Jennifer's personal story, the labels she received growing up, and how her lived experience shaped her path and her purposeHow alcohol and substance use became a way of masking, functioning, and navigating a world that wasn't built for JenniferWhy AuDHD women can be particularly vulnerable to risk-taking behaviours, manipulation, and abusive relationshipsThe impact of ADHD and autism on female relationships and the ongoing struggle for authentic connectionHow trauma and pain live in the body, from posture and digestive issues to emotional weight and chronic painThe role of fascia as the body's second nervous system, how it stores trauma, and its links to conditions like EDSThe power of movement and somatic therapy in nervous system regulation and genuine, embodied healingFor so many neurodivergent women, the trauma and pain they carry aren't just emotional.

• Libido, Hormones and ADHD: What Every Woman NEEDS to Know 19.03.2026 49min

  This week on the podcast, we're talking about something that so many women quietly experience but that very few of us actually talk about...Sex... Perimenopause...Libido... Desire...Orgasms... How our attraction changes as our hormonal levels shift. It's a big topic and one to listen to in a safe space away from small ears!So many women notice changes in their libido, attraction, intimacy or sexual confidence during perimenopause and menopause. For late-diagnosed neurodivergent women, these understanding shifts can feel even more confusing as hormones, attention, the nervous system and relationships all intersect.In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Angela Wright, a trauma-trained clinical sexologist, sex medicine practitioner and menopause clinician with a specialist interest in the overlaps between trauma, ADHD, PMDD and menopause.Together we explore the often unspoken intersection between hormones, menopause, libido and sexual wellbeing, particularly for neurodivergent women. Many women notice shifts in their bodies, desire, or relationships during perimenopause and menopause, yet these changes are rarely explained in a way that helps them understand what’s really happening.This conversation opens up space to talk honestly about the changes women may experience during this stage of life, and how understanding the relationship between hormones, the nervous system and ADHD can help make sense of shifts in intimacy, attraction and connection.In this episode, we explore:How hormonal changes during perimenopause can impact libido and sexual desireWhy techniques or dynamics that once worked sexually may change as hormones shiftThe connection between ADHD, novelty and desire in long-term relationshipsHow hormones, the nervous system and attention interact to shape sexual experienceWhy some people experience a loss of interest in sex during midlifeHow orgasms can support relaxation, tension release and hormone regulationThe importance of communication in relationships, including using “I” statements to express needsHow treatments such as vaginal oestrogen and hormonal support can help during perimenopauseThe impact of progesterone and testosteroneThis episode offers reassurance, insight, and practical language for women navigating changes in their bodies and relationships, helping to reduce the confusion and isolation that can accompany these experiences.Join the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, learn and come home to who they really are.

• Moving Past Guilt and Embracing Your ADHD Growth Journey 16.03.2026 21min

  In this week's More Yourself episode, we explore the connection between personal growth, guilt, and the nervous system and the impact this interaction can have.Many women carry guilt quietly in their bodies. It can show up as chronic illness, pain, and other physical sensations. Over time, these emotions can settle into the nervous system and begin shaping how safe or unsafe change feels.In this clip from a recent More Yourself episode, we explore how learning to notice the physical sensations in our bodies can help us understand what we’re holding onto, and where growth might be trying to emerge.In this episode, we explore:Why growth and change can feel activating for the nervous systemHow guilt can show up physically in the bodyThe emotional weight many women carry without realisingHow guilt can quietly influence our decisionsWhy being a woman can add extra layers of expectation and pressureHow to recognise the blocks that can appear when we start thinking about changeHow recognising sensations in the body can help release stuck emotionsCreating space for new intentions, possibilities and directionsThis episode is a reminder that sometimes growth doesn't come from pushing yourself harder, but by gently noticing what your body has been trying to tell you all along.Why not start by asking yourself this question: If guilt wasn’t leading the way, what might growth feel like instead?Timestamps:00:10 - Exploring Growth and Change03:31 - Understanding Guilt and Growth07:44 - The Impact of Guilt on Decision Making11:57 - Releasing Emotional Blockages14:39 - Exploring Self-Sabotage and Personal GrowthWant to go deeper?This episode is taken from a recent monthly More Yourself live, where we explore these themes together in real time, alongside a community of women who understand ADHD and the complexity that comes with it.If this conversation resonates and you’d like more gentle, nervous-system-safe spaces for reflection, learning and support, we’d love to welcome you into the More Yourself community.Inside the More Yourself Membership, you’ll be able to:Connect with like-minded women who understand youLearn from guest experts and practical toolsReceive compassionate prompts & gentle remindersEnjoy voice-note encouragement from KateJoin flexible meet-ups and mentoring sessionsAccess on-demand workshops and quarterly guest expert sessionsTo join for £26 a month, click here.

• Movement, Mental Health, and Community: Why it works for ADHD Women 12.03.2026 34min

  In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Ella Jack, founder of She Moves Community, a growing community that brings women together through movement in nature.Ella shares how the idea began during a difficult period with her mental health. As a 23-year-old navigating ADHD and early adulthood, Ella started hiking to support her mental health after beginning therapy. This quickly grew into something much bigger and created a supportive space where women can connect, move their bodies and spend time outdoors together.Together, Kate and Ella explore the powerful impact of movement, routine, nature and community, and why these elements can be particularly supportive for women with ADHD.Key TakeawaysElla’s experience of ADHD and mental health in early adulthoodStarting Girls That Hike and overcoming fears about launching something newHow movement in nature can significantly support mental wellbeingThe role of routine and regular physical activity for ADHD regulationWhy community and shared experiences help women feel less aloneThe challenges of making new friends as an adult womanHow group activities can foster authentic connection and belongingBeing okay with adapting, change and growthTurning personal struggles into purpose and community impactThis conversation is such an inspiring reminder that sometimes the ideas born from our hardest moments can grow into something that supports many others, too.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to Ella's Personal Experience07:16 - The Birth of She Moves, Movement and Mental Health10:21 - The Beginning of Change21:41 - The Importance of Community and Connection28:40 - Starting the She Moves CommunityJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, learn and come home to who they really are.

• Creating Calm ADHD Spaces: How Design Can be Both Thoughtful & Neuroaffirming 05.03.2026 41min

  In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Kati Peditto, Founding Researcher at the Built Experience Lab and a leading voice in neuroaffirming design - an approach that centres lived experience and views neurodivergence as an identity to be supported, not a problem to be solved.As an Autistic woman with ADHD, Kati brings both lived experience and research insight to a conversation many late-diagnosed women will recognise, the quiet, everyday ways our environments can either support our nervous systems or leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and “too much”.Together, they explore the hidden impacts of our built environments and the origins of common design practices, as well as the design assumptions made and their contribution to stress, burnout, and self-doubt for neurodivergent women.This episode offers validation, language and practical ways to think differently about your environment and your needs.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available. Grab your copy here!In this episode, we explore:What neuroaffirming design is and the assumptions built into most spacesThe difference between neuroinclusive and neuroaffirmingWhy standard accessibility checklists often miss neurodivergent needsCommon sensory challenges: fluorescent lighting, noise, acoustics, open-plan offices, and lack of windowsHow open-plan design and modern workplaces impact attention, energy and regulationWhy sensory rooms can become a tick-box rather than true inclusionThe importance of choice, control and agency based on your sensory profileWhat neuroaffirming workplaces and schools could look like in practiceThe role managers and leaders play in creating supportive environmentsUnderstanding cognitive accessibility and how to audit your spaceMoving beyond one-size-fits-all design to support individual needsKati is currently writing a book that explores how the hidden curriculum of our built environments impacts neurodivergent individuals and how spaces can be designed to foster true flourishing.
