On your toughest ADHD days, which tiny sensory action helps you come back into your body? Lately I’ve been reaching for cordyceps and eleuthero. Just something small to help me stay balanced, especially on the rougher days when my system feels a little overcooked. I am curious what everyone else gravitates toward. What’s your go-to grounding and self spothing thing?

Hey guys, bear with me as I need somewhere to brain dump. So I went to a networking group today and shared how I used to be an addict (heroin addict living in a squat 20 years ago). I have no idea why I shared in my 5 min talking time, I can tell I am the only one in the group to have had that kind of life in the past. I think my question is, is it possible to include Addiction recovery into my business when I want to work with women and girls who have ADHD and struggling. I am interested in the hormonal affects but know I have a lot to offer those struggling with addiction. Should I separate it or include it. I hope this makes sense.

I am constantly inspired by the ladies in this community... The single moms raising kids on their own while building a business. The mommas getting 2 hours of sleep and still showing up for their kids and their partner and their business. And the ladies without kiddos who are blazing ahead in their career. You ladies are truly a force of nature. And y'all don't get enough praise. Here's to you!!

Hormonal changes, whether it’s perimenopause, menopause, or the monthly cycle, can be a rollercoaster for any woman. For those of us with ADHD, the ups and downs can be even more intense. Emotional overwhelm, sleep disruption, and the constant buzz of an ADHD mind can make it all too easy to reach for a glass of wine or another substance as a way to dial down the noise. But what about when that “just to take the edge off” becomes a regular pattern? Grey area drinking or using isn’t about obvious addiction. It’s about that subtle, often silent space between social use and dependency, the space where you notice your habits are shifting, maybe you’re feeling more guilt or anxiety, and you start to wonder if you’re coping or just numbing. For hormonal women with ADHD, the challenges are layered. Impulsivity, emotional sensitivity, and difficulty with self-regulation can make that grey area even greyer. Add in the pressure to keep up, mask your struggles, or “just get on with it,” and it’s no wonder so many of us find ourselves questioning our relationship with alcohol or other substances. If this resonates, know you are not alone. There is no shame in noticing your patterns or wanting something different for yourself. Real strength lies in curiosity, self-compassion, and reaching out for support, whether from a friend, a coach, or a professional. Here is your reminder that you deserve clarity, connection, and freedom from shame, no matter where you are on your journey. If you’d like to talk more about this, my inbox is open. Let’s break the silence together and create healthier, kinder ways to cope.

What if your eating habits aren’t a lack of willpower but a wiring and hormone thing? Let’s talk about why ADHD brains swing between forgetting to eat and then inhaling half the fridge at 10pm. How do your hormones play into cravings, impulsive eating or overeating? What actually helps you stay steady without dieting yourself miserable? I struggle late at night and after a nap (I sometimes have an afternoon snooze to help me deal with my Fibromyalgia) When does your eating feel hardest to manage?
