In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie are joined once again by psychologist, ADHD coach and author Dr Janina Maschke to answer your questions on ADHD in women.

From masking and perfectionism to the emotional fallout of a late diagnosis, this is an honest, heartfelt conversation about what it means to finally understand your brain, and what to do with that knowledge.

Together, they unpack why so many women spend years hiding their struggles, how ADHD interacts with hormones across the menstrual cycle, and why self-compassion is such a powerful tool for healing.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your ADHD is “real enough”, or felt unsure where the line is between who you are and how your brain works, this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m just bad at coping” or “maybe it’s just me” this episode might be the lightbulb moment you’ve been waiting for.

This week, Katie and Sam are joined by psychologist, ADHD coach and author Dr. Janina Maschke to unpack why ADHD is so often missed in women, and what happens when the systems meant to support us are still built on male-centric research. From misunderstood symptoms and relentless masking, to the emotional toll of late diagnosis, Janina shares why so many women are still being overlooked, and what we can do about it.

Together, they explore how ADHD presents differently in women, why societal pressure makes it harder to ask for help, and how we can start building better, more inclusive support systems.

Plus, Janina offers practical, ADHD-friendly strategies from her book A Feminist’s Guide to ADHD- from mindset shifts to movement, prioritisation and self-kindness.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are still figuring it out, or love someone who’s navigating this, this episode will make you feel seen and remind you that it’s never too late to understand your brain.

In this bonus episode, Katie and Sam reflect on their conversation with therapist Clare Patterson, and open up about their own feelings around therapy, vulnerability and ADHD.

They talk candidly about the emotional toll of ADHD, why seeking help can be so hard, and how the right therapist can make all the difference. From fears about “falling apart” to the challenge of building trust, this is an honest look at the barriers so many ADHD-ers face when it comes to therapy, and why it’s still worth considering.
