ABOUT THIS EPISODE
ADHD, Perimenopause & Reclaiming Our Own Story
This week on Wild, Wise & Curious, we dive into a powerful conversation about ADHD, perimenopause, identity and the emotional weight so many women carry without language for it.
Our guest, Claudia, returns to the show and shares her recent ADHD diagnosis and how perimenopause has amplified everything - anxiety, focus, PMS, overwhelm. She talks openly about the shame she held around career choices, money decisions and struggling in traditional work environments and how finally having a diagnosis has reframed her entire story.
Together, we explore:
- ADHD symptoms intensifying during perimenopause
- learning differences + the messy journey toward diagnosis
- academic struggles, burnout and working in ways that actually suit us
- evolving coaching practices: Reiki, transformational coaching, equine work, HR + culture advisory
- solopreneur pressure, networking dread and social media fatigue
- HRT, hormone journeys and medication fears
- why so many women are only now discovering their neurodivergence
It’s an episode about self‑understanding, good old midlife unravelling and the courage to rewrite your own story.
