78. ADHD, Motherhood and Menstrual Health: A Conversation With Annie de Villiers

Happy Monday, friend! This week, I have a special guest chatting with me about ADHD, motherhood and menstrual health issues. Yes, all those things packed into this great, big episode! 

I know you'll be encouraged by this conversation, because I was. I felt so very validated and affirmed in my own wellness journey, and I pray the same for you! 

Happy listening!

Annie: "Hello, my name is Annie de Villiers, and I am 42-years young and was diagnosed with ADHD in 2018, when I was 35. I am a qualified foundation phase teacher but currently only homeschool my own two children. This year, 2025, I am blessed to be married for 17 years. We live in Pretoria, South Africa and I definitely am one of those people who value the sun in my life. Over the years I have had to learn to not just cope with my ADHD, but live a life where I bloom. Our ADHD brains are so powerful and unique but untrained and neglected. We often struggle to a point it starts to drain us. Coping with a monthly menstrual cycle with all the changes and challenges it brings takes intentionality. Developing some healthy habits in my every day life has helped to lift the heaviness of the effects of my menstrual cycle."
