Neuroscience explains so much about our ADHD brain and the many traits, tendencies, and behaviours that come along for the ride. The more we understand our beautiful yet complex neurobiology, the more empowered we are to make sustainable and manageable changes to better enhance our lives.

Nicole's first book, Rewire: Your Neurotoolkit for Everyday Life is available now.

On today's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Nicola speak about:

• The science behind meditation
• The brain's negativity bias
• The function of the brain's 'DMN' AND 'TPN'
• How self-interruptions affect our daily life
• The power of meditation for emotional regulation
• Nicole's tips for feeling more calm and positive
• Feeling more self-aligned
• The damaging effects of your phone and social media
• Ways to be more mindful of your phone usage
• Understanding dopamine better

My other guest on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing episode is Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund. We are at the cusp of new understandings about combining medical disciplines so we can understand ADHD in girls and women better through the lens of both menstrual cycles, hormones and psychiatry. This is for the lost generation of women who never got answers and for the future generations of girls who deserve better medical knowledge and research.

Lotta is an associate professor in psychiatry at the Department of Women and Children's Health at Uppsala University and an affiliated researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet. She is the author of six popular science books on ADHD and addiction, and her book ADHD Girls to Women - Getting on the Radar has been translated into several European languages, English and Korean.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Lotta Skoglund and Kate spoke about:

• Feeling abandoned by healthcare professionals after an ADHD diagnosis
• Why healthcare professionals should be working together to help patients
• How an understanding of ADHD can change your health outcomes
• Building autonomy to feel more empowered with our ADHD
• Improving female-based medical research and ADHD
• The importance of talking about your experiences with hormones to help others
• Precision and patient-led medicine
• Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD women
• Why fluctuating hormones and cycles need to be part of the bigger health picture
• Getting to know your unique hormone cycle traits
• How you can create a personalised health journal

You can learn more about Lotta's work via her website, www.borgskoglund.com and Letterlife.

Navigating healthy eating, food and nutrition alongside ADHD is a big topic. For this week’s guest, Aleta Storch -an 'anti-diet' dietitian, therapist, and certified Body Trust® Provider - this is her expertise.

Welcome to a recap episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom! You can check out some of Kate's workshops and free resources here.

During this short ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom episode, Kate and Aleta speak about: 

• Being creative with food and keeping it simple with our nutrition
• Using convenient food and making it all easier with pre-prepared food.
• Removing shame about how we cook and eat

As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years.

We discuss this with guest, Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realised she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy and money.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:

• Sadness after her ADHD diagnosis
• ADHD overworking and overwhelm
• Signs that your work is weighing too heavy
• Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them
• Deciding how you want your work to make you feel
• Amanda's own journey in business being undiagnosed ADHD
• Creating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easier
• Having the courage to change and pivot in business
• Upper limiting ourselves as self-protection
• Putting our nervous system first
• Having autonomy over your own mental health
• Letting our fear have its say
• Creating an anti-hustle culture
