The Truth About ADHD in Women

The Truth About ADHD in Women

If you’ve ever thought “I’m just bad at coping” or “maybe it’s just me” this episode might be the lightbulb moment you’ve been waiting for.

This week, Katie and Sam are joined by psychologist, ADHD coach and author Dr. Janina Maschke to unpack why ADHD is so often missed in women, and what happens when the systems meant to support us are still built on male-centric research. From misunderstood symptoms and relentless masking, to the emotional toll of late diagnosis, Janina shares why so many women are still being overlooked, and what we can do about it.

Together, they explore how ADHD presents differently in women, why societal pressure makes it harder to ask for help, and how we can start building better, more inclusive support systems.

Plus, Janina offers practical, ADHD-friendly strategies from her book A Feminist’s Guide to ADHD- from mindset shifts to movement, prioritisation and self-kindness.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are still figuring it out, or love someone who’s navigating this, this episode will make you feel seen and remind you that it’s never too late to understand your brain.
