ADHD in Men vs. Women: "It Sounds Like a Way Worse Deal!"


Best friends and podcast hosts Kat and Jack bring their signature honesty and humour to a candid conversation about ADHD. Jack, founder of Beautiful Strangers—the creative team behind hit podcasts NewlyWeds and The Girls Bathroom, joins Kat to share what they’ve learned in the year since launching their ADHD podcast, Distracted.


In this chat with Ben, they dive into their biggest bugbears with the ADHD community, the reality of private vs. NHS diagnosis, and the fine line between distraction and procrastination. They also explore an often-overlooked topic: how ADHD sensitivity manifests differently in men and women—and why that matters
