We who have ADHD rarely talk about our partners without ADHD. I get emails as least once per week form women struggling in their relationships. Each situation is unique, and some of them are quite complex. But when it comes to relationships and ADHD some patterns...
This is what I learned about women's hormones and ADHD: A woman's hormones are as individual as the ADHD diagnosis itself. Turning 40 is no joke. I should know, because I recently visited my obgyn where we discussed not only my impending mammogram, but also my...
ADHD and PTSD together are showing up more and more in my work with the ADHD community. My entire business is based on creating connection, so obviously I want to learn how to better serve my clients, and educate people on the connection between the two diagnoses. So...

I was not raised in an authoritative parenting environment. As I have mentioned my mom was a single parent, and she didn't have much help. As a teenager I was grounded fairly often. Usually because I was unmotivated or behaving impulsively or just ignoring my parents...
Jaclyn Paul and I sit down to discuss the necessary life skills for women with ADHD. What started out as a conversation about home organization, quickly led to so much more. The ADHD Homestead is one of my go-to resources for information and perspective on being a...
