Laura Mears-Reynolds didn’t set out to build a charity. She didn’t even set out to build a movement. She just started talking honestly about ADHD, late diagnosis, and the reality so many women live through in silence. And then something unexpected happened. People listened. People related. And people started finding each other.

In this episode of MarketPulse Pros & Pioneers, Laura shares the real story behind ADHDAF+, the Leopard Print Army, and how a podcast recorded in a small room in North East Scotland turned into a national community with real-world peer support groups across the UK.

We talk about what it feels like growing up always feeling different, being labelled as “brilliant or terrible,” being crushed by self-loathing, and living for years with anxiety, insomnia, misdiagnosis, and shame. Laura explains why ADHD in women is still so often missed, why that delay can be dangerous, and how diagnosis and treatment didn’t just improve her life, it saved it.

This is also a conversation about activism. About building something “about us, by us, for us.” About refusing to let ADHD become a trend, while still shouting loudly enough that the right people finally pay attention. And about how community in real life can change everything.
