I can't believe how much this makes sense to me. I've had such a hard time managing my life and trying to explain myself to my husband. Or the "what's wrong with me" stuff. It literally is my brain chemistry. Hard to believe at 48 I'm finally learning this!! Breaking things down to smallest steps helps a lot.

Tracy thank you so much for what you do. To me you are a superhero. Superhero, hands-down !You are a gifted front runner for a much in population. Thank you for your heart of justice. Your interviews sparkle and bring much needed light to the life arena of ADHD women and young girls. Dr. Fiona, thank you so much for sharing your story. I relate so deeply to your youth regarding ADHD. I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother at 12 years of age. Thank you for your truth and resources. I can’t wait to check out your website Fiona. 🎉 I celebrate you both today and sending you many blessings and hugs. Gratitude 🙏!

How necessary is getting diagnosed? I’ll be 70 later this year. I began to wonder several years ago if I was ADD. I assumed not ADHD because I am not the least bit hyperactive. A few of my grandchildren have been diagnosed and a couple of my daughters suggested I might have ADHD. I read your book and I’m convinced. Quite a few of the symptoms you described were true of me when I was younger. For the most part I have been able to create workarounds for myself. As I was listening to your book. I found myself thinking I remember being like that, but I did this and it’s not really an issue now. The main problems I still struggle with are procrastination and being messy. I read Dana K White’s book Decluttering at the Speed of Life and her system has immensely improved my messiness issues. Overall my house is less messy than any previous time in my life, but procrastination keeps it a little messy. My biggest issue with procrastination is that when I procrastinate to the point that a deadline stresses me out, I suddenly have a burst of creativity that makes me do something much better than if I work steadily toward a deadline. I also do well if I do something immediately and way ahead of a deadline. My greatest example of this is as a student, the only time I made less than an “A” on a term paper is the time I forced myself to work steadily towards the deadline. I got a “C” on that one. I feel like even though I hate procrastinating, I get rewarded every time I procrastinate. Other than doing something immediately, I can’t find a workaround. Unfortunately, doing something immediately isn’t often possible. That was a lot of words to ask if I really need to be diagnosed at almost 70. I’m nerdy enough to be curious but frugal enough to not want to spend the money if the only benefit is to satisfy that curiosity. 😂

much love from an adhd male who hates biting their nails even tho it helps me focus at times. I just hate the pain and want my nails to look nice for once lmao. thanks lots. also i would like to add that i think alot of ppl cant relate thst more awareness should be shown to this topic and adhd cuz growing up my parents always shamed me for biting my nails and i always wanted to stop but i never could

Sarah is one of my favorite people, and makes me feel soooo SEEN and understood. Thanks so much for having her on!!!

I listened to this episode today and I AM THE WOMAN listening that Maya speaks to. Maya’s experience is so so similar to what I am going through right now. Tracy are you able to link to Maya’s social media so that I can connect with her by following her? God bless Maya for sharing her story to give women courage and hope to face it.

Great Topic!

you're describing my life!

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤❤❤

I love both of you! I have been watching Hello Brains for awhile! And was just intro’d to you Tracy fairly recently! I listened to your audio book a few months ago, now I need to listen to How to ADHD! I love the audio books so that I can get things done while I learn! I love to listen and learn while I work! It keeps my brain entertained while I try to manage the chaos which is my life! 😂

Thank you 💕 for sharing this ❤️ 🙏🏽 it's not easy trying to be a mom and business woman and be positive and this negative world with ADHD

❤❤❤❤

Your brain is for thinking not remembering ❤

Tracy, you're beautiful ❤

My therapist ❤

I'm new and I have adhd Tracy and I love ❤️ you

Tracy, you are truly a gift to the world. I’ve been listening to your podcast for years now and so grateful for your courage to step into the arena every day, even when you might not think you are, you remind me that I AM, just by listening to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤

Alexis is so amazing and gorgeous. Its so fun to watch these podcasts on video!

thank you for having me,. Glad to have helped others

This was a great conversation, That I appreciated lots and could relate to as well, Thanks and I will dig more in what you both are sharing on youtube and your website, I heard you Tracy for the first time with Cas at Clutterbug and was just aware recently that I have some definite signs of ADHD, again Thank you for this great conversation

"it feels like I'm cheating" - SO REAL! I've never had it summarized so succinctly.

TRACEY! Love all your podcasts Thankyou! So so helpful.also..random question but love your glasses AND do you have a tint in/on them?..what colour specifically is it?Love them!

LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH! ❤

From Cape Town South Africa - thank you! The first of millions of podcasts - who absolutely makes it clear🌸🙏

Thank you for this. I skin pick, bite my nails and chew my tongue.

I love the shoutout for Scrivener! I'm a writer by day, podcaster/astrologer/Tarot reader by night. I don't use Scrivener in a terribly sophisticated way, but I find it invaluable! Neurodivergent here: ADHD + bipolar. Thank you for raising awareness and being honest about your diagnoses. I start a new Scrivener Project once every year or so, and just write everything in there under different files. A document here for interviewing a fire prevention expert, a file there for writing down notes about my family's health. This works great for my newspaper journalism and columns, which tend to run 800 words... there's often need for moving some notes from one newspaper column document within the Project, say, to a longer article I'm planning to pitch elsewhere.

Sorry to hear she has ADHD. No wonder I could not understand much of her presentations as she was all over the place. I hope others did. Wish her best of luck.

Beatifull ladies

Thank you.ladies.you re amazing

See I have all of the Diagnoses and I had ADHD before I went into perimenapause. A PCP should be able to treat without sending to all of these Specialists. I already have seen the Specialists. Primary Care means All Care!!!!!

I was Miss diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in my 30s and given AntiPsycotics and Benzodiazapines all of the time did more damage than good. I have Adult ADHD from a Doctor on my Records, I also have a diagnoses from a Phsycoligist. My PCP a Man in his I would say late 30s I'm now in premenapause and My Doctor after I asked and Asked for him to try 1st line Treatment Stimulant Meds?? He Argues with me and says We don't treat Adults with that kind of Medication. He Refused and Refused until now I'm getting another PCP!! I felt like he was treating me like a Drug Seeking Child. He has made me so upset and angry not listening When I tell him I have been on every Antidepressant there is!! They do nothing and have horrible side effects. I have always had a good Vocabulary and I have been loosing my Words. I'm like what is thar word i want to use, it's horrible. I Feel I have always had an issue with Dopamine issue, and they try to up Your Seretonin and that's not the issue!! I just can't believe how Clueless Doctors can be?? Like a 51 Year old woman doesn't know the issues She's having with her mind and body. They always think People are Drug Seeking!!

Great interview Lori. TY for sharing your story.

true crime junkie here, VAST too.... thanks Tracy & Lori

Excited to read Lori’s book. I hope she does a podcast as well

Tonny Robins😮

This was so helpful,thank you so ao much!!!

I got diagnosed with NVLD and ADHD in 2014 I wish I had found you both so much sooner!

This was brilliant & so helpful! I have ADHD too! Listening to this is so encouraging & I feel so validated!! This is such a gift 💝 Thank you both‼️

Such a pleasure to read your book and just like your situation, my son was newly diagnosed and I stumbled upon my diagnosis trying to help him(literally 3 days ago). Lookin for self help after taking 5 quizzes and a small mental break down I Saw your book and it just stood out to my personality. And reading it 🎉 Wow I feel like a door has been unlocked in my brain and being stuck between relief and fear is freedom and the more I learn unlock these doors, It just feels like all my dots are being connected. I’m just starting on this journey, and I am very excited to see where it leads me and how I can help my son. Thank you for this astounding book. You were able to hold my intention for the entire read. I looked forward to listening in and hearing the way you word things and share your stories and experiences and how it sounds so much like my own. Now in my 40’s what do I do? Is my next exploration 💜🥹I look forward to connecting with you and in truth you are my✨Personal Fairy God Mother Thank You ✨God Bless💜✨

I’m 53 and have engrossed myself in all things about natural health after a busy nursing career. I tried through reading, and courses trying to figure out why my brain felt inadequate and broken, and even tried to ‘reprogram’ my brain through many events put on by the likes of Tony Robbins - but no one ever mentioned ADHD in older females! …. Then about a month ago I found the podcast between Tracey and clutterbug…. OMG! Im trained to read the iris, I am a homeopath and massage therapist and trained to read live blood under a microscope, but my broken brain has kept me small, scared and keeps me from doing what i thought my life’s work would be. My memory retention or articulation of facts is terrible, and I figured why continue to learn when nothing stays in. So your podcasts have been very beneficial and I will continue to improve my superpowers and tactics to combat procrastination problems. We are the quirky personalities in a trained, linear society…. If we all reached our highest potential I do not think the governing bodies could handle such an uprising of pure intelligence and energy 😂 Thank you ❤

ADHD Has harmed me Intensely! Just diagnosed 5 years ago! 😢

This was such a great podcast! I also dislike the term comorbid. I've been using 'co-occurring' instead, and have been trying to help change that narrative in educational settings. I also LOVE the ideas Linda shares about engineering her environment to fit her needs best. This reminds me of Dr. Thomas Armstrong's Positive Niche Construction. Mahalo for this podcast, I'm a huge fan!

Thank you for this video Tracy. The more I listen to all of Linda's descriptions of NVLD the more I believe that I have it, I had difficulty with Math, I'm clumsy and have a hard time with directions. My son was diagnosed with ASD and my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD however I think she may have NVLD as well.

I’ve been considering getting a diagnosis in past days and as I listen to this, I’m ticking ALL the boxes! At 50 I’ve always just thought it’s my wild creativity and I had no idea others found all ‘those’ tasks so easy… I have piles of unopened envelopes, I never sit still, constant creative projects on the go, I go until utter exhaustion and I over commit to everything… in the past year I have started to realize this and attempting to put strategies in place to help, but I exhaust myself. Thanks so much for your research!!

My late husband would get so frustrated with me that I was always sure I was about to be fired. I never could meet the perfection standards that I set for myself. I was not diagnosed until after he passed away and I wish I could have had this information so many years earlier.

Very inspiring ❤
