ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!Does thinking about money make something in your body tighten? Your chest pound and throat close?Maybe you avoid opening your banking app for weeks. Maybe you know something needs to change but every system you've tried has lasted about three days. Maybe you've spent money you didn't mean to spend, not because you're irresponsible, but because in that moment it was the only thing that made you feel okay.You are not bad with money.You just haven't had a system built for your brain.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast I'm joined by Esther Bangura, neurodivergent financial educator, ADHD and money coach, and host of the Neurodivergent Money Management podcast. After years of debt, stress spending, and burnout, Esther paid off £18,000 and bought her own home. Instead of following conventional financial advice, she used systems that actually worked with her ADHD brain; and now she helps other high-earning neurodivergent women do the same.For so many of us, spending isn't really about the thing we're buying, it's about control, relief, and finding calm for a nervous system caught in overwhelm.In this episode, we explore:Esther's realisation of her spending habits and gaining a sense of controlWhy her own ADHD diagnosis transformed the way she supports her clientsWhy the same money systems doesn't work for everyone, and how to find what actually works for youHow to understand your spending patterns and energy levels and use that data to build a strategy that sticksHow burnout and financial stress affected Esther's fertility and her experience of miscarriageWhat needs to change in financial education for neurodivergent peoplePractical tips for ADHD business owners managing their financesThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt shame around money or avoided the conversation because it felt too exposing. Esther brings warmth, honesty and genuine practical wisdom to a topic that our community doesn't talk about anywhere near enough.Financial peace is possible for our brains and this episode shows you what that can look like.Support and information on topics raised in today's episode: The Miscarriage Association Website The Miscarriage Association helpline and support servicesStepChange Debt CharityTimestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing01:12 - Navigating Financial Challenges as a Neurodivergent Individual10:59 - Understanding ADHD and Financial Management21:41 - Exploring Financial Challenges of Neurodivergent Women35:13 - Navigating Transitions: Understanding Yourself and Your Finances40:06 - Navigating Burnout and Self-Employment44:42 - Navigating Neurodivergent Business StrategiesThis week’s episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

In this episode of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Ella Jack, founder of She Moves Community, a growing community that brings women together through movement in nature.Ella shares how the idea began during a difficult period with her mental health. As a 23-year-old navigating ADHD and early adulthood, Ella started hiking to support her mental health after beginning therapy. This quickly grew into something much bigger and created a supportive space where women can connect, move their bodies and spend time outdoors together.Together, Kate and Ella explore the powerful impact of movement, routine, nature and community, and why these elements can be particularly supportive for women with ADHD.Key TakeawaysElla’s experience of ADHD and mental health in early adulthoodStarting Girls That Hike and overcoming fears about launching something newHow movement in nature can significantly support mental wellbeingThe role of routine and regular physical activity for ADHD regulationWhy community and shared experiences help women feel less aloneThe challenges of making new friends as an adult womanHow group activities can foster authentic connection and belongingBeing okay with adapting, change and growthTurning personal struggles into purpose and community impactThis conversation is such an inspiring reminder that sometimes the ideas born from our hardest moments can grow into something that supports many others, too.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to Ella's Personal Experience07:16 - The Birth of She Moves, Movement and Mental Health10:21 - The Beginning of Change21:41 - The Importance of Community and Connection28:40 - Starting the She Moves CommunityJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, learn and come home to who they really are.

When you hear the word growth, what happens in your body?For many ADHD women, growth has become tied to pressure. Doing more, achieving more, and constantly pushing forward, even when your nervous system is already stretched.In this episode, we explore how to reframe growth so it feels gentle, aligned and sustainable, not driven by urgency, but guided by self-trust. By relearning growth, we start to understand it's not about doing more, it’s about reconnecting with a part of you that feels fluid, authentic and open to possibility.This conversation comes from a recent More Yourself live, where we explored what growth can look like beyond productivity, career or external expectations, and how to define expansion in a way that actually works for your brain and your life.In this episode, we exploreWhy traditional ideas of growth can feel pressurising, especially for ADHD mindsThe impact of constant expectations on your nervous systemReframing growth as expansion into authenticity, ease and possibilityThe invisible blocks that can limit your potential, including fear, self-doubt and internalised beliefsWhat the word "change" brings up for you, and the worries or resistance that may sit underneathHow breath and body awareness can support decision-making and help you tune into your desiresWhat could growth look like if it didn't mean doing moreReflecting on what you may be holding onto out of habit, pressure or expectationLearning what you might be ready to let go ofWant to go deeper?This episode is taken from recent monthly More Yourself live, where we explore these themes together in real time, alongside a community of women who understand ADHD and the complexity that comes with it.If this conversation resonates and you’d like more gentle, nervous-system-safe spaces for reflection, learning and support, we’d love to welcome you into the More Yourself community.Inside the More Yourself Membership, you’ll be able to:Connect with like-minded women who understand youLearn from guest experts and practical toolsReceive compassionate prompts & gentle remindersEnjoy voice-note encouragement from KateJoin flexible meet-ups and mentoring sessionsAccess on-demand workshops and quarterly guest expert sessionsTo join for £26 a month, click here.

In this week's episode ofThe ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by psychologist, researcher, and founder of Outset Wellness, Sonia Ponzo, for an insightful conversation surrounding motivation and ADHD.Sonia has over a decade of experience at the intersection of behaviour change and mental health, and is passionate about creating body-first, science-backed tools that support real change for neurodivergent people.Together, we explore the deep-rooted struggles so many of us with ADHD face when it comes to starting, sustaining, and trusting ourselves, especially as entrepreneurs. But when we find something that truly lights us up, everything shifts. It’s not that we’re broken; we just thrive differently and finding our thing can transform not only how we work but also how we treat ourselves along the way.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!Key Takeaways:How ADHD presents differently between women and the urgency of nuance in recognising thisThe emotional and physical cost of burnout for high-achieving ADHDersWhy starting tasks can feel impossible for those with ADHDHow poor interoception can cause ADHD paralysis due to a lack of awarenessThe missing conversation regarding invisible energy drains how to rebuild self-trustThe role of movement as a gentle way to reconnect to your body and build momentumThe shift from “all or nothing” to “everything counts” in creating sustainable movement habitsReframing exercise as intuitive movement instead of punishment or pressureWhy increased awareness isn’t enough without accessible, real-life support and actionHow Outset Wellness helps neurodivergent minds create habits that feel safe and sustainableWhether you’ve felt stuck in cycles of burnout, confusion, inconsistency, or self-blame, this conversation will gently remind you that you’re not broken, and that your body might just hold more answers than you think.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing08:31 - Understanding ADHD and Burnout11:56 - Understanding Interoception and ADHD16:16 - The Support Outset Provideds29:10 - Finding Balance: Personal Reflections on Burnout and Self-Care38:57 - Finding Balance in Busy LivesJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.
