My book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is OUT!You're not alone in sensing the overwhelming pressures women face today, especially those of us navigating the complexities of ADHD and perimenopause. In today's episode, both Adele Wimsett and I are feeling the weight of societal expectations and the exhaustion that comes with trying to balance it all. To celebrate the release of my new book, today's episode features a powerful discussion with my friend Adele Wimsett, exploring why so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. While the feminist movement opened important doors, it also encouraged many of us to succeed within systems built by and for men. Systems which are shaped by patriarchal values that don’t consider the cyclical nature of women’s bodies. The pressure to constantly do, achieve, and keep up has left many of us burnt out, especially those navigating ADHD and the hormonal shifts of perimenopause.Adele is a Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner who specialises in the powerful link between ADHD and hormonal health. Adele has dedicated her work to helping women and girls reconnect with their cycles and honour their rhythms, blending science with holistic tools to support women from menarche to menopause.What You'll Learn: The impact of societal pressures on women leading to deep exhaustion and overwhelm.The impact of the feminist movement, the shift to more masculine characteristics and the pressure to ignore our cyclical nature.How historic patriarchal structures have evolved into the modern exhaustion we see today in women. The lack of support in modern work structures for women’s health, especially during hormonal changes like perimenopause. Capitalism's reliance on women’s insecurities and how to break free to find your inner calm.Progesterone's role in calming our nervous system, the treatments available and natural ways to support it.The role of stress management and caring for your adrenals to support wellbeing.Understanding what fulfils you, and what can be stripped back to find clarity.How to set compassionate boundaries, protect your energy, and gently prevent burnout.Timestamps:02:14 - Why You're Feeling the Weight of the World's Expectations15:31 - Acknowledging the Female Mental Load of Family Life and Work20:17 - Navigating the Challenges of Perimenopause27:29 - Exploring Hormonal Health Solutions 35:05 - Setting Boundaries to Protect Your Energy in PerimenopauseLinks and Resources:Join the Waitlist for my new ADHD community-first membership launching in September!
