ADHD in midlife women is the topic my audience requested most in my latest Instagram poll - and now it's here! If you've been wondering whether your scattered, overloaded brain is ADHD, perimenopause, or just life, you are in the right place.

Today I’m speaking with Dr. Jennifer Dall, Ed.D., an ADHD specialist with a doctorate in educational psychology, a background in special education, and her own late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, to talk about everything women over 40 actually want to know about ADHD.

What you'll hear:

• How ADHD shows up in high-achieving women, and why it looks nothing like the stereotype
• Why perimenopause doesn't cause ADHD but can turn the volume all the way up on symptoms you've had your whole life
• Why so many Gen X women went undiagnosed for decades, and what the stories we were told about ourselves have to do with it
• Whether you need a formal ADHD diagnosis and what that evaluation actually involves
• What you can start doing today to work with your brain instead of fighting it
• The ADHD strengths that high-achieving women carry without ever recognizing them as strengths
