In this episode, I sat down to chat with the incredible Dr Jenn Huber as a guest on the Midlife Feast podcast.
At 49, I received an ADHD diagnosis after years of masking. In this episode I share how perimenopause brought long-overlooked symptoms into focus.
Together, we unpack how midlife hormonal shifts can amplify ADHD traits and why rigid fitness plans rarely work for neurodivergent brains.
We also bust the motivation myth and share simple mindset shifts that make movement feel doable, even on low-energy days.

Key Quotes:
"The diagnosis is not the answer... but it is a way of giving myself a little more self-compassion. And leading with that, rather than ‘Why can’t I do what everyone else is doing?’”
"It's not about being consistent. It's about being persistent. It’s about getting really good at starting again."
"Movement isn’t something we do to punish our bodies. It’s something that can help us feel better, think more clearly, and be kinder to the people around us."
"You don’t have to be lifting barbells next week. Start super small. Maybe add in 10 minutes once a week. It all counts."
