🎧Welcome back to The ADHD Entrepreneu(Her)—THE podcast for feral AF ADHD women who refuse to play by the fucking rules.

This week’s drop is a Flashback Episode. I’m taking you back to one of the rawest, most vulnerable moments of my adult life…recorded just one week after I finally got my ADHD diagnosis. It was messy, it was emotional, and it was real AF. Relief. Anger. Surprise. All tangled together.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or straight-up blown off when you knew something was off in your body and brain, this episode is for you. I share what it was like to be told “no” when I asked for an assessment, the gut instinct that kept me fighting, and the 14-month wait I endured before finally being taken seriously. And more importantly, the lesson that changed everything for me: your voice is non-negotiable.

🦄 About This Episode:
 🌶 Flashback to my raw story one week post-ADHD diagnosis.
 🌶 The surprising emotions that came with it.
 🌶 How ADHD often hides in women and girls — and why it’s overlooked.
 🌶 Why self-advocacy matters when the system tries to silence you.
 🌶 The deeper lesson I want every late-diagnosed ADHD woman to take away from this.
