298 ADHD, Autism, and The Hidden Struggles in Women You Didn't See Coming
Ever feel like the world just doesn't get what’s happening inside your brain? In this episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I sit down with my client and colleague Dr. Priyanka Rao, and we dive headfirst into the wild, twisty world of ADHD and autism—especially how it shows up in women.We’re talking about the real stuff—like why it’s so dang hard to get diagnosed, the silent battles happening behind the scenes, and why neurodiversity-affirming care is a game-changer (spoiler: it’s life-changing). Dr. Rao opens up about her late-in-life diagnosis and lets us in on what she wished she knew sooner.Oh, and hormones? Yep, they’re in the mix too. We cover how they mess with ADHD, the overlap with autism, and—most importantly—how you can speak up and advocate for yourself during assessments.I also unpack some heavy hitters: perfectionism (ugh), why self-diagnosis is totally valid, and how the mental health field needs to step it up when it comes to cultural competence and understanding neurodivergent brains.This episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical tips to help you feel seen, heard, and ready to take on the world (or at least that overdue to-do list).www.ashamh.comwww.asha-coaching.com@ashacoachHit play and let’s get into it!Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

297 Parenting with ADHD? Here's the #1 Mindset Shift You Need!
In this episode, I sit down AGAIN with the amazing Dr. Jessica McCarthy to dive into the wild, messy, and beautiful world of parenting with ADHD. We’re getting real about emotional regulation (for us and our kids), that constant dance between connection and control, and why making repairs with our kiddos is pure magic.We unpack the unique challenges ADHD parents face—like, why is parenting so dang hard sometimes?! Plus, we talk about how having some kind of framework (even if we ADHD-ify it) can be a lifesaver. Oh, and teaching emotional regulation to our kids? Yep, it’s as hard as it sounds, but we’ve got thoughts on that too.There’s also a lot of love for being flexible, giving yourself grace, and remembering that developmental appropriateness isn’t just a buzzword – it’s key to surviving the rollercoaster of parenting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re screwing it all up, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone—and you’re probably doing better than you think.Grab your coffee (or hide in the pantry for a little break) and let’s dive in!Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?
