ADHD in Women and Girls: Why This is Not a Fad But a Cry for Help and Better Care
|
Hello Reader, If you have ever felt like you are capable and caring, but constantly behind, scattered, overwhelmed by anxiety that fights against your faith, or defeated by being accused that you’re too _____ (sensitive, emotional, inconsiderate, bossy, etc), then this episode is for you. We are talking about ADHD in women and girls, and why this isn’t a fad but a cry for help and better care. ADHD has gone undiagnosed in girls for far too long, dismissed by the stereotype of hyperactivity as it is seen in boys. In fact, one might say that where girls are underdiagnosed, boys are overdiagnosed. But for this episode, we focus on how ADHD presents in a female, why it is often missed, what is actually happening in the brain, and the practical supports that can make everyday life feel more manageable.
Consider this your high-level overview seasoned with hope and encouragement to continue the exploration of ADHD and how it may be affecting you or the women and girls in your life. If this resonates, share it with a friend who has been carrying shame or confusion. There is hope, and there are next steps.

The financial hit of the holidays may start lifting, although for those of us living in the US and coming through a hard winter, that relief in light of the circumstances and economy may not feel significant enough. I get it, on so many levels. That is one of the reasons I pivoted with the Equipped...

Hello Reader, Lasting transformation requires more than willpower. It needs healing from the inside out. 🤍 On the latest episode of the StableMinded podcast, I talked about something I've experienced firsthand and see every week in my work with women: You can white-knuckle change for a while.You can push through.You can try harder.
