ADHD coach and host of I Have ADHD , Kristen Carder, joins Jackie to explore how ADHD really shows up in grown-ass women. From distractibility and impulsivity to working memory and emotional regulation, we break down symptoms that often get mistaken for menopause, anxiety, burnout, or just everyday overwhelm. In part one of a three part series, Kristen shares her own story of discovering ADHD in adulthood, why so many women go undiagnosed, and the difference between being occasionally forgetful and having symptoms that impact every area of life.
