Can Understanding ADHD Save Your Relationship?

Do you have someone in your life who has ADHD - or suspect they might - and are you wondering how to support them without losing yourself?

This week, Sam and Katie are joined by coach, author, and host of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate Moryoussef, to explore how ADHD impacts romantic relationships and family life, especially when it goes undiagnosed for years. From emotional overwhelm and miscommunication to managing burnout and guilt, they unpack the real-life challenges couples face and what it takes to navigate them with compassion.

Together, they explore how to build healthy relationships when one or both partners have ADHD, the importance of co-regulation, and why self-responsibility is key. Kate shares actionable advice for neurotypical partners, plus tips for supporting ADHD children without becoming overbearing or burnt out.

Whether you’re the one with ADHD, love someone who has it, or just want to understand how ADHD affects everyday life behind closed doors, this episode is packed with insight, validation, and practical support.
