Episode Details

Parenting and relationships can take on a unique dynamic when neurodivergence is part of your life—whether it's your own diagnosis or that of your partner or kids. Today, you’ll hear my conversation with Jenny Hobbs, a physician and a life coach who works with women navigating ADHD and autism in themselves or their families. We explore what ADHD looks like for women, why it often goes undiagnosed until adulthood, and the range of resources available to help. Here’s what we cover:

• Why there tends to be an overlap between ADHD and autism diagnoses 
• How good girl programming affects the way neurodivergence shows up in women
• Masking techniques make ADHD in women harder to recognize
• Specific signs and patterns that may indicate ADHD
• The link between ADHD diagnoses and perimenopause 
• Practical strategies for managing ADHD regardless of your financial situation

I can’t wait for you to listen.
