• Leaning Into Self-Trust: A More Yourself Episode

  In this episode of More Yourself, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and sometimes uncomfortable) tools in the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit, developing self-trust.We’ll explore how so many of us late-diagnosed ADHD women have been conditioned to doubt ourselves, to mask, and to override our inner knowing. But what happens when we start listening to our bodies, following our curiosity, and letting go of the need to get it all “right”?This conversation is about experimenting without pressure, embracing the lessons in things not going to plan, and gently tuning in to your own guidance. It's about creating a life that works for you, not what the world expects.So here’s your invitation: What would it feel like to trust yourself... even just a little more?My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Thriving with ADHD by embracing your ADHD, not performing or masking.Leaning into self-trust (despite fear) to build clarity, confidence, and resilience.The role of playful trial-and-error to learn without the pressure to be perfect.Using failures to learn, grow and discover new information.Using somatic tools and breathwork to regulate and reconnect.What setting unapologetic boundaries looks like.Taking small steps and recognising how your body responds.

• ADHD, the Criminal Justice System and Compassionate Rehabilitation with Sarah Templeton

  In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we’re shining a light on the critical but often ignored intersection between ADHD and the criminal justice system.I’m joined by Sarah Templeton, CEO of ADHD Liberty, counsellor, author of The Prison Counsellor, and tireless campaigner for ADHD awareness in prisons, probation, and homelessness services. Sarah shares how her powerful personal and professional journey of late diagnosed ADHD has led her to dedicate her work to supporting those misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by a system that labels ADHD traits as “bad” behaviour rather than unmet needs.With a fierce belief in rehabilitation, Sarah discusses common ADHD traits that can trigger "bad behaviour", practical ways ADHD can be managed behind bars without medication, and how improved understanding of ADHD can transform self-esteem, life outcomes, and even steer individuals from criminality to entrepreneurship.Her work is paving the way for a world where ADHD isn’t punished but supported, and where young people are guided away from the school-to-prison pipeline.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What You'll Learn:Why society must stop labelling ADHD as “naughty” and start supporting it as a neurological conditionWhy ADHD traits like impulsivity and boundary-pushing are often misread as “bad behaviour”How poor self-esteem and shame in undiagnosed ADHD can drive offendingSarah's work to create ADHD awareness videos in prisons How parenting can be the turning point between criminality and creativityThe urgent need for ADHD screening in schools, prisons, probation, addiction and homelessness servicesWhat managing ADHD without medication or exercise looks like in prison (e.g. breathwork, mindset strategies)The role of ADHD awareness in rehabilitation The importance of research into ADHD and criminality, and the transformational effects of diagnosis and rehabilitationUnderstanding ADHD as a condition rather than a moral failing can significantly enhance self-esteem and promote recovery for those affected, as well as improve the criminal justice system.
