ADHD is one of the most studied and most misunderstood diagnoses out there - and for millennial women especially, it's showing up later in life in ways nobody prepared us for. The burnout, shame around rest, the 15 unfinished projects, feeling that something is off but not knowing what…
Today I'm joined by Jennie Anderson - a registered nurse turned entrepreneur and coach who works with brilliant women with ADHD-style brains to stop treating themselves like the problem. She helps women rebuild self-trust beneath the layers of procrastination, masking, inconsistency, and shutdown - and create momentum that no longer requires self-abandonment.
Jennie and I dove in about what ADHD actually looks like in adult women, how it shows up in entrepreneurship, and why so many of us hit a wall in our 30s when hormones begin to shift. We explored hyper focus, the cycle of creative brilliance followed by burnout, and the deep shame so many women carry around rest and productivity.
One of the biggest themes we kept coming back to was self-trust - listening to your body, giving yourself permission to play, and learning to honor your unique energy.
We also talk about:
The connection between estrogen, dopamine, and why ADHD symptoms intensify in your 30s
How rejection sensitivity dysphoria affects visibility and entrepreneurship
The grief cycle that comes with a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis
Why the "squirrel list" might be the best tool for your creative brain
