Intro

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Judith Mohring, an internationally respected consultant organisational psychiatrist, coach, therapist and trainer with over 25 years’ experience working across clinical, leadership and organisational settings.

Judith brings a deeply compassionate and clinically grounded perspective to understanding ADHD in women, particularly through the lens of hormones, emotional regulation, stress and life stages.

Drawing on her work training clinicians, leaders and organisations, and her passion for psychoeducation, this conversation gently challenges the idea that ADHD is static or one-size-fits-all.

Key Takeaways:

1. What it really means for neurodivergence to be diverse
2. The role hormonal changes (including perimenopause, PMDD and postmenopause depression) play in emotional overwhelm for women
3. The impact of falling progesterone during perimenopause on ADHD symptoms, anxiety and emotional regulation
4. Why emotional regulation can feel more difficult during periods of stress, ageing or major life transitions
5. The value of ADHD psychoeducation and neurodiversity education in helping women understand their brains and advocate for mental health support
6. How greater understanding of neurobiology can reshape the way we approach self-care
7. The practical role of DBT for ADHD, including mindfulness and emotion regulation tools, in everyday life
8. How building an ecosystem of ADHD lifestyle tools (including mindfulness, sleep, movement and community) can support long-term wellbeing
9. Why raising ADHD awareness and education is essential for compassionate, effective care

This is a validating and empowering episode that invites you to see your ADHD not as something to fix, but as something to understand — with flexibility, curiosity, and kindness.
