Reframing our Inner ADHD Dialogue: Moving From Criticism to Compassion

In this week's More Yourself episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate explores one of the biggest and most powerful shifts that happens after a late ADHD diagnosis: learning to trust yourself again.This clip from the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Summer series workshop, Boosting your Self-Belief and Self-Trust after a late-in-life ADHD Diagnosis, is all about rebuilding self-belief, understanding your inner dialogue, and shifting the unhelpful stories we’ve been telling ourselves, often our whole lives.Many women diagnosed later in life carry years of internalised shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic self-doubt. In this episode, we explore how to recognise and rewire limiting beliefs that have become your reality for so long, but may not actually be true. This conversation will help you embrace life with self-compassion, clarity, and trust in who you are, what you believe, and how you want to navigate your life.Key Takeaways:Learning how to recognise, rewire, release, and rebuild beliefs to develop stronger self-trust after an ADHD diagnosisHow what we believe often shapes how we see ourselves and our realityUnderstanding how internal criticism and old thought patterns influence our choices, confidence, and emotional wellbeingThe power of self-trust and how to reconnect with your inner voice, which knows who you truly areUsing affirmations and mantras to gently shift how you speak to yourself, moving from self-doubt to self-supportUnderstanding how you want to show up, speak to yourself, and regulate your emotions with compassion and clarityWhy self-acceptance starts with awareness to make space for growthHow to reframe limiting beliefs to move towards healing and self-confidenceTimestamps:04:47: Understanding Beliefs and Self-Trust07:40: Understanding Our Beliefs and Their Impact11:06: Trusting Your Inner Voice16:53: Embracing Self-TrustIf you enjoyed this clip, we'd love you to join us for our next live workshop on 16th December.

How Do We Release Our Internal ADHD Pressure and Expectations?

How Do We Release Our Internal ADHD Pressure and Expectations?

In this episode of More Yourself, I'm sharing a clip from a recent SEED Talk I presented back in July, focusing on how we can work with our uniquely wonderful ADHD brains, rather than against them. Understanding our ADHD brain is a key element of healing, but we don't have to face this as though it is something new. We have always been neurodivergent, but we may not have had the language or awareness to understand it before. The modern world asks us to constantly perform, engage in challenging environments and overcompensate to fit in, but this can be exhausting. When we begin to find self-compassion, honour our unique experiences, we can tune into our bodies and take small, intentional steps toward self-care, self-regulation, and authenticity. In turn, self-trust releases the need for external validation and reclaims a life that feels more aligned, more spacious, and more true to who we are.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Some of the deepest pressures we carry come from within, shaped by internalised expectations and perfectionism.How to better understand your personal bandwidth by noticing the people, environments, and choices that either energise or deplete you.How to break intergenerational cycles of burnout, overwhelm and people pleasing through creating a supportive environment.Understanding your priorities and asking yourself what you want to let go of.How creativity, breathwork, and other self-regulation tools can gently support you through anxiety and depression.The healing power of self-advocacy, and what can happen when you give yourself full permission to rest, take up space, and just be.Timestamps:00:05 - The Recognition of Neurodiversity01:51 - Understanding Our Neurodivergent Experiences06:10 - Understanding Burnout and Setting Boundaries09:09 - Embracing Change and Letting Go14:12 - The Importance of Self-Regulation and Asking for Help15:19 - The Power of Self-Acceptance and PermissionThe More Yourself Community doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

Creating Meaningful Connections: How ADHD Awareness Can Transform Your Life

Creating Meaningful Connections: How ADHD Awareness Can Transform Your Life

In this episode of More Yourself, I wanted to share a clip from a recent ADHD Women's Wellbeing live session that explored the concept of generativity versus stagnation —a theme that is very prevalent among late-diagnosed ADHD women.This concept, rooted in Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and contribute to our own lives and to others as we move through the different stages of adulthood. For those of us who received a diagnosis later in life, this understanding can be transformative. It reminds us that our diagnosis isn’t the end, it’s the beginning of a new chapter.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Erikson’s 8 stages of psychosocial development viewed through a neurodivergent lens.The impact of unconscious masking on ADHD traits and energy levels.The concept of generativity vs. stagnation for late-diagnosed ADHD women.Seeing a late diagnosis as a new chapter for authenticity and evolution.The role of meaningful connection in women's reconnection with their identity post-diagnosis.The power of embracing change in midlife and beyond.Timestamps00:33 – Understanding ADHD and Psychosocial Development03:30 – Overview of Erikson’s 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development05:26 – Life Stages Through a Neurodivergent Lens07:17 – Generativity vs. Stagnation Explained07:54 – Generativity as a New Chapter of Potential09:40 – Embracing Change and Authenticity12:16 – Closing Reflections and Personal GrowthJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

In this episode of More Yourself, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and sometimes uncomfortable) tools in the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit, developing self-trust.We’ll explore how so many of us late-diagnosed ADHD women have been conditioned to doubt ourselves, to mask, and to override our inner knowing.

ADHD, the Criminal Justice System and Compassionate Rehabilitation with Sarah Templeton

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re shining a light on the critical but often ignored intersection between ADHD and the criminal justice system.I’m joined by Sarah Templeton, CEO of ADHD Liberty, counsellor, author of The Prison Counsellor, and tireless campaigner for ADHD awareness in prisons, probation, and homelessness services. Sarah shares how her powerful personal and professional journey of late diagnosed ADHD has led her to dedicate her work to supporting those misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by a system that labels ADHD traits as “bad” behaviour rather than unmet needs.With a fierce belief in rehabilitation, Sarah discusses common ADHD traits that can trigger "bad behaviour", practical ways ADHD can be managed behind bars without medication, and how improved understanding of ADHD can transform self-esteem, life outcomes, and even steer individuals from criminality to entrepreneurship.Her work is paving the way for a world where ADHD isn’t punished but supported, and where young people are guided away from the school-to-prison pipeline.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What You'll Learn:Why society must stop labelling ADHD as “naughty” and start supporting it as a neurological conditionWhy ADHD traits like impulsivity and boundary-pushing are often misread as “bad behaviour”How poor self-esteem and shame in undiagnosed ADHD can drive offendingSarah's work to create ADHD awareness videos in prisons How parenting can be the turning point between criminality and creativityThe urgent need for ADHD screening in schools, prisons, probation, addiction and homelessness servicesWhat managing ADHD without medication or exercise looks like in prison (e.g. breathwork, mindset strategies)The role of ADHD awareness in rehabilitation The importance of research into ADHD and criminality, and the transformational effects of diagnosis and rehabilitationUnderstanding ADHD as a condition rather than a moral failing can significantly enhance self-esteem and promote recovery for those affected, as well as improve the criminal justice system.
