Thank you for this series! As a coach who supports women and their mental Heath, I was particularly interested in the episode on hormones. Thank you! Susie Pettit

Required Listening for Late Diagnosis

An absolute must listen!

Incomplete, but a good start

This podcast started with a great research question and some good interviews, but ultimately the key takeaways fell very flat. The interview recordings were unnecessarily long with an unedited feel, the long pauses/musicality were awkward, and the conclusion didn’t make any real point. I had to force myself to keep listening to finish it out, and then ultimately was disappointed with the ending. This podcast has good bones for a very important topic, but it feels very incomplete and unfinished. The biggest takeaway was learning about the history of how women started to become aware of ADHD, as opposed to uncovering answers to any real questions. Perhaps this podcast would be most helpful for women who are just discovering ADHD. As someone who has consumed a lot of ADHD content elsewhere, I unfortunately didn’t learn anything memorable or impactful. That said I encourage the creator to keep researching, keep refining, and build this into something meaningful!
