Hello, folks! This is a special episode of ADHD in a HURRY! Today, I am joined by Melissa Snider and Brianna Morton, both ADHD coaches and co-hosts of @HypercastPodcast!
Brianna and Melissa discussed with me the difficulties women experience when it comes to living with ADHD and the frustrating reasons why so many are overlooked for long.
From being misunderstood by professionals to the societal pressures that mask symptoms, their stories shed light on the often-overlooked struggles women face with ADHD.
We discuss the emotional toll of delayed diagnosis, how ADHD manifests differently in women, and the impact on relationships, careers, and mental health.
If you or someone you know is navigating similar struggles, this interview is a must-watch for understanding, validation, and hope.
