    Given that your target audience is women with ADHD, going through excessive lists of symptoms isn’t listener-friendly. Perhaps in future, consider breaking up the various diagnostic criteria/questionnaires so they don’t read like long lists that cause your listeners to quickly tune out.

  • My Go To, but….

    This podcast has made me feel so seen and understood for my uniquenesses. It has phenomenal guests, guidance, and resources. I’ve recommended it to every person and practitioner who deals with ADHD women and girls. BUT, the audio of the recent episodes has declined. The wet mouth noises make it impossible to listen to. It’s deeply disturbing having earbuds in and hearing the noise of someone’s mouth in my ear. Like omg Please get mic covers and better microphones. I hate missing episodes.

  • Conflicted

    I’m newly diagnosed with ADHD and was thrilled to find this podcast. I listened to a few episodes that really resonated with me and was hoping this podcast would be a safe space. However, I was really disappointed by the way Tracy talked about bodies during the GLP-1 episode and had to stop listening. The assumption that people lose weight and automatically feel better about themselves is a fatphobic, disgusting assumption in the year 2026. Do better, Tracy.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 402: The ADHD Engine: How Overwhelm Built a Seven-Figure Organizing Business with Jenny Dietsch
Q: What changed for you when you finally got diagnosed with ADHD?
Receiving a formal diagnosis validated her experiences, and starting medication helped improve focus and the ability to complete tasks she previously found difficult, while also fostering self-acceptance and better parenting.
EP. 390: Can Cooking Be Therapy with Charlotte Hastings
Q: How did you come to fuse anthropology, drama, and psychotherapy into Kitchen Therapy?
By tracing how food, play, and social interaction reveal who we are, Hastings connected dots from her background in anthropology and drama to therapeutic practice, using cooking as a medium to explore attachment, identity, and belonging.
EP. 384: ADHD Women Were Never Meant to Work Like This with Meghan French Dunbar
Q: Wonderful. What we always do here is we talk about our ADHD diagnosis story first. Would you mind sharing yours?
Meghan describes late diagnosis in 2020 after a high-achieving, burnout-filled career, followed by a shift to a meaningful, purpose-driven path, including writing a book and building an AI-assisted operating system for her workflows.
EP. 382: What’s Really Behind RSD? with Dr. Shawn Horn Pt 2
Q: What can people do to heal or manage these experiences?
Name and educate about shame and RSD, practice a shame-free mindset, and use nervous-system-regulation tools (breathing, movement, face-to-face connection) to down-regulate before engaging thinking processes.
EP. 382: What’s Really Behind RSD? with Dr. Shawn Horn Pt 2
Q: How does ADHD interact with shame and RSD in women specifically?
ADHD features—a sensitive nervous system and slower developing executive functions—make women more susceptible to social judgment, leading to stronger, more frequent shame responses and complex coping patterns.
