Ep 2: Inattentive and Underachieving Artwork

Her ADHD Podcast

Why is there a boom in 30+ year old women going for ADHD assessments? Is it just a trend? Or is it that we really are the missed generation and more importantly, the missed gender.

In this podcast, I'll be addressing why ADHD is not "just for boys" - how females often present so differently to males. I'll be talking about how ADHD presents in girls in the classroom, all the way up to how it has presented for me in motherhood, marriage and the mayhem it can cause in every day life.

I'll be joined by other neurodivergent ladies where we openly discuss our traits, coping mechanisms and how a diagnosis has brought validation to our chaotic lives. We will hopefully all have a giggle along the way while advocating that it really is ok to want to go for a late diagnosis - while showing you how to be unapologetically ADHD.

Ep 2: Inattentive and Underachieving

May 05, 2024 • Chelsea Fields

In today's episode I discuss the types of ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive, combined) and how little girls often present in the class room. Anyone else's school reports name and shame them for being the day dreamy chatter box?

I deep dive into some of my educational traumas and how they set the internal narrative of "im lazy and thick" going forward into adulthood.

I discuss how the well behaved 6 year old eager to please, quickly turns into the rebellious, bad attitude teen.

I hope it resonates with you..

Lots of Love
