Today, I bring you a deeply personal message through a solo episode.As I take a break from releasing new content for a few weeks while I have some time off over the summer, this episode is an invitation to surrender and notice, without judgment, where you are right now, where you've been for the past few months, and what you're crying out for as we move towards the last few months of 2024.In this message, I discuss whether, despite the chaotic external climate, we are able to try to slow down, remove pressure, and release some of the heavy burdens we are all carrying within us. I ask you what it is you need to calm and regulate your ADHD nervous system."What if I choose to let go, trust and believe that things can get better?"I also get curious about leaning into positivity and gratitude in the morning and allowing ourselves time to disconnect and reflect on what we're feeling and desiring for the future.This is my battle cry to all my ADHD community: we are deserving and worthy of abundance, success and rest! As well as time out to recharge, renourish and rejuvenate.Sending much love and speak very soon!For my ADHD Women's Wellbeing on-demand resources, head to www.ADHDwomenswellbeing.co.uk.

Navigating the ADHD diagnostic pathways while being neurodivergent is not easy. It can be incredibly challenging when we're also doing this to support and advocate for our children.

Check out all of Kate's online ADHD on-demand resources here.Did you know that many people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, even in childhood, may also be living with undiagnosed ADHD? ADHD and dyslexia are distinct conditions that frequently overlap, confusing the nature of these two conditions. It is (very cautiously) estimated that 30% of those with dyslexia have coexisting ADHD. Neurodiversity experts now believe that neurodivergence NEVER travels alone, meaning that there will always be at least another coexisting condition. So, if you have an ADHD diagnosis, there's a high chance of another overlapping neurodiversity, such as dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and vice versa. ADHD doesn't cause dyslexia; it's simply a co-existing trait. Likewise, if you have a dyslexia diagnosis, get curious about whether ADHD may also be in the mix, especially if you have suffered from other issues such as overthinking, anxiety, RSD or PMDD.This week's guest is Natalie Brooks, founder of Dyslexia in Adults, a company that aims to help ambitious dyslexic adults thrive in the workplace.On this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Natalie speak about:Natalie's experience of growing up with dyslexia Natalie's dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD journey The interplay of ADHD and Dyslexia Looking at the intersectionality of neurodiversityTaking a more holistic approach to diagnosis How dyslexia shows up for different people What you can ask for at work when you have dyslexia Dealing with other people's expectations of you when you are DyslexicNatalie's dyslexic role modelsGet access to Natalie's free download: Decode Dyslexia at Work here >> https://dyslexiainadults.myflodesk.com/bwxf930nnsLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.Mentioned in this episode:Gratitude link

Despite many of us feeling challenged by undiagnosed ADHD for most of our lives, there is also a way to thrive alongside our ADHD. On today's episode, I talk to Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, known affectionately as "The Creative Scientist," a distinguished clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher in the UK. His expertise centres on the intricate gut-brain connection, drawing on a rich, real-world scientific foundation rather than purely academic pursuits. Dr. Miguel's academic journey includes degrees in Nutritional Medicine and Clinical Neuroscience, culminating in a Doctorate focused on Mental Health and the Gut Microbiome. Navigating life with ADHD and autism, Dr Miguel possesses a deep, personal understanding of the specific dietary needs of neurodivergent individuals. He emphasises the critical role of dietary choices in enhancing executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation. His philosophy is captured in his words: “By understanding and addressing the nuanced relationships between what we eat and how our brains operate, we empower ourselves to make choices that not only nourish our bodies but also support our neurodivergent minds in navigating daily tasks and interactions more smoothly.”On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Miguel and Kate spoke about:Miguel's journey to his ADHD diagnosis Bringing a more feminine softer energy to science The relationship between the gut and the BrainADHD and disordered eating ADHD tendencies toward extreme behaviour Having self-compassion around your diet and what you eatHow self-compassion can actually help your gut health Identifying sources of rejection sensitivity dysphoria Dr Miguel offers personalized clinical consultations and has crafted a comprehensive course titled "Thrive with ADHD," available at drmiguelmateas.com/thrive-with-adhd-course.

But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles.

Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!After closing her original business, Andrea poured her heart and soul into her garden to support her mental well-being and give her something to focus on during this time.

As many of you who have followed me for a while will know, EFT or tapping is something I talk about a lot!I began my training in 2019 and continue to use tapping on myself, my kids and many of my clients most weeks. I have combined EFT in many of my workshops, and I love making tapping as accessible as possible for all of my community. I'm always blown away by the results and how effective a short amount of tapping can be. And on this week's episode, I have Pearl Lopian, a Psychotherapist, EFT Master Trainer and Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience. Pearl is also my teacher and mentor and is a true expert in this field. Early on, I noticed how powerful using tapping can be for the ADHD brain and nervous system and I'm delighted to bring this powerful conversation to the podcast. If you're intrigued about using EFT for ADHD traits such as RSD, overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, stepping into your potential or overthinking, Kate has free tap-along videos here and lots of resources on her website here.

It's not often you get to seek the wisdom of a 102-year-old, but when it's a neurodivergent doctor and life coach, you know you're in for a profound conversation. She tells me her secrets to a fulfilled life of gratitude, acceptance and authenticity.I was absolutely honoured to speak with the inspiring and fascinating Dr Gladys McGarey, who was 102 years old at the time of her new book’s publication. I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared—I had many epiphanies after each chapter. After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain—she shares her dyslexia, learning, and education journey—I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! During our conversation, Dr Gladys shared her story of being held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how, through her different learning styles and curiosity, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.

I have been studying this transformational spiritual technology and wisdom on and off for over ten years but only recently have dedicated many hours to learning more to help me feel more at peace and purposeful in my life.

I'm delighted to welcome this week's guest, Amanda Diekman, an autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space. We discuss dropping demands, restoring calm, and finding connections with our children.Amanda became a leading voice in the movement for low-demand parenting practices with her book Low Demand Parenting, published in July 2023.  She lives with her husband and three neurodivergent children in an intentional community in Durham, NC.On today's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Amanda and Kate spoke about:Amanda's son's autism diagnosis journey What it means to be a 'low-demand parent'Re-defining how you want to parentAbeism - what does this look likeLetting go of parenting demands, habits or standards that aren't benefiting you Releasing all the expectations, pressures, shoulds and conditioning to help create a calmer environment for our familyThings you can drop or change to make parenting easier for youMaking communication safe for your autistic or neurodivergent child What it means to 'un-school'Dealing with systems and schools as a neurodivergent parent Asking for accommodations for you and your childrenLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram here.Follow Kate on Instagram here.Find Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine here.Mentioned in this episode:Gratitude link

Migraines and ADHD are something I hear about a lot in my ADHD female community. I also relate to this from a personal perspective with one of my ADHD daughters suffering from migraines, as well as quite a few friends. Migraines can be a lifelong debilitating condition alongside the many other symptoms that come with them. Today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode explores the very powerful connection between migraines and neurodivergence in women with my guest, Diane Ducarme, the contemporary master of migraine investigation.

Diane’s relentless inquisitive mind for highly complex problems is what allows her to deliver life-transforming results, which is the fuel to her energy.What sets Diane apart is her emphasis on the power of functional foods. Unlike conventional approaches focusing on eliminating foods, Diane adds new elements to the equation. Her dedication to unravelling the mysteries of migraines has inspired a podcast, "Migraine Heroes," and her company, Nectar Health, is at the forefront of this remarkable journey towards migraine relief and wellness.On this episode, Kate and Diane speak about:A digestive superfood that could help your migrainesThe vagus nerve and the connection to migrainesWhy migraines could be related to your ADHD How your digestive system can hold the keys to health The connection between your brain function and your food The profound wisdom of Chinese traditional medicineHow Hormonal shifts affect your gut and brainHaving period cycles that can actually feel goodThe effects of endometriosis on the digestive system What chinese traditional medicine can teach you about ADHDFind out more about Diane and her work on her website www.mynectarhealth.comKate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle and wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereFind Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine hereMentioned in this episode:Gratitude link20% off Kate's content for Neurodivergent celebration week Use the code NDWEEK20 ND Week 20

The word 'hope' to so many of us can feel ambiguous and distant and yet in this conversation, my guest Gail Muller, a Cornish adventurer, author, speaker, and coach, breaks down the power of hope through a late in life ADHD diagnosis. This is a riveting conversation where we learn that we can always choose hope from the depths of life's challenges. Gail has spent twenty years in education: teaching, leading, and consulting globally, helping raise aspirations and encouraging life-long learning for all. She passionately advocates for the belief that our broken bits can also be superpowers. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, she also struggled for fifteen years with debilitating chronic pain. In 2019, after considerable physical rehabilitation, she walked the Appalachian Trail in the USA, later writing a bestselling book about the experience called Unlost. Gail advocates for living a life that’s courageous and true to oneself. She runs popular online courses and residential retreats in Cornwall and gives talks and workshops worldwide, encouraging people to dig into their creativity, build resilience, and grow in confidence. On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Gail talk about:Gail's chronic pain journeyHope and acceptance can exist togetherHow to use hope in life and how Gail teaches it to her studentsADHD and the connection between chronic pain, hypermobility, inflammationUnexplained answers, pain and neurodivergence Hope as an energyBecoming empowered with more answers to thrive with ADHDHow to stop fighting against ourselves Hopeful attitude switchGail's ADHD diagnosis validation and understanding Gail's post-diagnosis crash Generational healing and processing after a diagnosis Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.Have a look at some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.Kate Moryoussef is a women’s ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner helping overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly-diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity and clarity. Follow the podcast on Instagram hereFollow Kate on Instagram hereFind Kate's resources on ADDitude magazine hereMentioned in this episode:Gratitude link
