Many women struggle for years with overwhelm, emotional chaos, chronic stress, catastrophic thinking, and feeling misunderstood—without realizing the root cause could be ADHD. In this episode, Shanna Pearson, founder of Expert ADHD Coaching and a lifelong ADHD advocate, dives into how to recognize the signs, get an accurate diagnosis, and implement practical tools that actually work. She says that “An estimated 50% to 75% of women struggling with ADHD don’t even know that they have it.” And to make matters worse, when they enter perimenopause and menopause, the systems that used to help them cope, often no longer work. Women are also often misdiagnosed with depression and/or anxiety and prescribed medications that don’t help. Perhaps you’ve helped your child with their ADHD diagnosis and are now wondering if you have it to? Tune in today to learn more and be sure to share this interview with a friend.
