Disordered eating is sadly a common co-occurring symptom of ADHD. Many of us have gone through decades of not understanding why we have battled with these challenges, and then after we receive a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, we're able to understand why it presented itself. This is a powerful conversation that focuses on how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.
This week's guest is Thomas Midgley, a behavioural and cognitive psychotherapist (CBT) and dietitian specialising in eating disorders.
Having worked in the field for more than 18 years, Thomas has a deep understanding of the delicate balance between body image, emotional health and the challenges neurodivergent people face when it comes to disordered eating.
Kate and Thomas spoke about:
Disordered eating vs eating disorders: why these important distinctions matter â especially for anyone with ADHD or autism.Emotional regulation in recovery: how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.Compassionate therapy: how DBT and compassion-focused therapy support emotional wellbeing and recovery.Parenting and emotional resilience: how parents can balance validation and resilience when raising neurodivergent children.Neurodivergence and eating disorders: the connection between ADHD and autism and the increased risk of eating disorders.Compassion in treatment: How compassionate, non-judgmental therapy helps us understand and manage our emotions effectively.Timestamps:

From leveraging technology to simplifying organization to embracing alternative productivity methods, this episode shares practical strategies you can incorporate into your daily lives.
This week, I speak to Skye Waterson, a former adult education, psychology, sociology, and public health academic who is now the founder of the Unconventional Organisation.

Skye Waterson's journey from academia to entrepreneurship is a testament to the power of understanding our neurodiversity. Diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, Skye faced the daunting task of reconciling her academic ambitions with the realities of her ADHD, leading her to develop a coaching business dedicated to helping others navigate similar challenges.
The episode dives deep into the intricacies of ADHD, particularly how it manifests differently in women and how societal expectations can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. Skye emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive environment where women can thrive by utilizing tools that cater to their neurodiverse brains.
The conversation underscores the need for greater awareness and acceptance of ADHD, particularly in professional settings, as well as the potential for neurodivergent individuals to excel when given the right tools and support.
During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we talk about:

This is one to share with your team, office, employers or employees!
On this short podcast episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom, I talk to Hester Grainger, a neurodiversity consultant, co-founder of Perfectly Autistic and Perfectly ADHD, a radio presenter and former TV presenter diagnosed with ADHD in her forties, about changing the way we look at neurodivergence in the workplace, raising awareness of what neurodiversity looks like in the office and showing up to help more people feel supported at work. We also discuss ways employees can feel seen and heard at work and break down stigmas to help create more awareness and education.
Together with her husband Kelly, who is autistic and has ADHD, they run their neurodiversity consultancy, which works with organisations to raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity in the workplace and works with parents and education settings around autism and ADHD.
Hester is also mum to her two children, who are autistic and have ADHD.

I bring back two fantastic guests in today's episode: Rachel Harris and Jodie Hill. Both are trailblazing women in their respective industries, paving the way for more neurodivergent women to ask for what they need and create strong scaffolding to support them from burnout while also satiating their inner drive, ambition and big dreams.
We discuss recognizing and harnessing our ADHD preferences in our careers so we can bring our A-game to our purpose-driven careers without feeling exhausted and depleted by our brains.
Both Rachel and Jodie are inspiring female entrepreneurs, teaching us to harness our authentic selves to succeed in our careers alongside our ADHD.
Firstly, who knew talking about financial wellbeing and accounting could be this fascinating and inspiring? When you hear this episode, you'll see why I'm so giddy about it!
This week's first guest on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast is Rachel Harris. Rachel is disrupting what it means to be an accountant, a business owner and an employer in 2023. She is a TEDx speaker, content creator, author, business owner and, most importantly... an accountant! She is passionate about free financial education for everyone.
During this week's podcast episode, we spoke about:

I'm excited to introduce another true trailblazer in the law industry, an inspiring D&I advocate, mentor and successful businesswoman, Jodie Hill. Following her breakdown (which she now refers to as her breakthrough!), Jodie decided to set up her unique employment law firm, Thrive Law, where her values around mental health and diversity & inclusion would be the foundations of the firm and are embodied in everything she does.
Jodie is passionate about creating an environment where both she and her team can Thrive. Her mission is to educate and empower employers to create their own thriving cultures. You can buy Jodie's Thriving at Life journal here.

On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing 'Wisdom' episode, we revisit a clip from the profound episode with high-performance ADHD Coach Kim Raine about finding equilibrium and balance between our restless ADHD energy, relentless drive, and burnout.
As women with ADHD, we have an abundance of ideas, but thriving in business can feel difficult if we work against ourselves. By taking time to rest and make space while being consciously aware of where our energy and creativity levels are, we can be more successful and focused in our careers alongside ADHD.
