E246: Navigating Menopause, Hormone Impact, and ADHD with Linda Roggli

Sad, mad, annoyed, happy, sad, crying, mad, tired. All within an hour! 

While hormones may be invisible to us, they sure do wreak havoc on our lives!

Linda is here to teach us what's going on inside that drives our mood and energy in more ways than we can count. 

For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week. 

Today’s guest is Linda Roggli. 

Linda is a professional ADHD coach for ADHD women 40-and-better, a retreat facilitator, organizing expert and award-winning author. She created and hosts the annual online ADHD Women's Palooza and the ADHD Couple's Palooza. Her book, "Confessions of an ADDiva: Midlife in the Non-linear Lane" won first prize for women's issues in the prestigious Next Generation Independent book awards. She is former vice president of ADDA and continues to host its webinar series. She lives and works under the pine trees of the Piedmont of North Carolina with four ADHD Shelties, one cat formerly known as feral and one OCD husband, plus 13 cackling chickens.

In this episode, Linda and I discuss the intricacies of hormone production and fluctuations, and what it means for our daily lives. She explains what's going on during perimenopause and menopause to shed some light on this rarely discussed topic that affects everyone with ovaries. (That's a lot of people for something we don't talk about enough!)

Let’s jump into a much-needed discussion on estrogen levels and how they affect your ADHD from puberty to menopause, so you can live well as a woman with ADHD.

It can feel super intimidating to show up to a party where you don’t know anyone. Well, I don’t want that fear to keep you from finding your people. 

I want to make this super low risk for you to come, try it out, and get a sneak peek before you join our ADHD mom community. 

You’re invited to the next Successful Mama Meetup Open House!

Join us on Zoom on November 6th to body double for the first 30 minutes, then hangout and meet the other moms in the community for the second half. (Hint hint, we’re pretty amazing IMHO.)

No charge, no pressure. Just come hang out!

Let me know you wanna come right here and I’ll send you the zoom link. 

And since it's on Zoom, everyone can come no matter where you live. Self-diagnosis and ADHD-curious moms welcome. 

It’s time to hang out with other moms who get you and make you feel like you’re at home. So come in your comfy clothes and let’s hang out! See you soon!
