Podcast Show Notes:
Title: Embrace the Chaos
Host: Kathryn Regganie
Guest: Shaye Woodword
Episode Summary In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with ADHD educator and advocate Shaye Woodward to explore how ADHD uniquely shows up in women—especially during hormonal shifts like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. From emotional regulation challenges to misunderstood symptoms in young girls, we unpack the real-life experiences that often go overlooked in a world built on male-centered data.
We also discuss Shaye’s own journey with diagnosis and how women are often misdiagnosed or overlooked entirely. You’ll hear tangible, compassionate strategies for navigating ADHD with grace and empowerment, including lifestyle and nutrition tips that support brain and emotional health.
Key Topics Discussed:
· Why ADHD often goes undiagnosed in girls and women
· How ADHD presents differently in women vs. men
· The impact of hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) on ADHD symptoms
· The emotional toll of being misunderstood or mislabeled in school and adulthood
