Open in Hinto About this episode
Welcome to this week’s Motherkind episode, the show that is going to help you navigate the massive challenges of life as a modern mother with more self-awareness, clarity and Confidence. In December, we walk our talk, and I take some time off recording to be with my family and recharge before next year. So I've re-released for you the most popular episodes of the past six months. These are the episodes you loved to share with friends, you emailed about and deemed to be the most helpful. Here is the first one, all about ADHD - What is it? Do I have it? Is it the mental load of ADHD? We had so many messages like this and I wanted to record an episode that answers all these questions. We found the perfect expert - Dr Smantha Hiew, who is a mum of two and was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 40. She is also the founder of the award-winning platform ADHD girls. Listen to learn: Why is there a huge rise of women being diagnosed with ADHD? What are the characteristics of ADHD for women? How does ADHD intersect with motherhood? How do I know if this is neurodivergence or is this just the stress of the mental and the emotional load? And SO much more. I hope you love it. Please share it with your friends or leave a review.
