Did you know there's a connection between ADHD and your pelvic floor? Hint: it has to do with our nervous system.  What about the fact that 20-25% of women over 40 have at least early stage prolapse? Or that 1 in 3 women will develop clinically significant prolapse over their lifetime? And that jumps to 1 in 2 for those who have given birth? Jenn Lormand shared these statistics with me and I was shocked to see how high these percentages are! In today's episode, we talk all about your pelvic floor health, prolapse and the connection with ADHD. We discuss common signs and symptoms of prolapse, including: urgency, frequency, leaks, pressure, hip/back pain, sexual pain, constipation and bloating.  I hope you find today's episode as interesting and helpful as I did!

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.

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.

What does it mean to be courageous when you have ADHD? I think we often don't recognize the courage we've shown as women with ADHD. Trying again after rejection? That takes courage. Explaining what it's like to have ADHD to someone? That takes courage. Self-advocating? That takes courage. In today's episode, I will help you recognize where you've shown courage, where you can grow in courage and how it will help improve your opportunities, relationships, purpose and joy as someone with ADHD.
