The Postpartum Shift 82. ADHD Diagnosis: What I Wish I Knew Sooner
Ever feel like your brain won’t slow down, but somehow you’re still constantly forgetting things, running late, or dropping the ball? This episode is a deeply personal look into my recent adult ADHD diagnosis at 36. I’m breaking down the signs I missed, what finally pushed me to seek help, and how I’m navigating motherhood, business, and daily life with this new awareness.
What to Listen For
- The exact signs that made Brooke question whether she had ADHD.
- Why ADHD in women is often missed or misdiagnosed.
- How hyper-cleaning can be a form of procrastination (guilty!).
- Brooke’s experience with combined-type ADHD (with a hyperactive/impulsive twist).
- The family history that pointed to a deeper pattern.
- How adult ADHD shows up in parenting, marriage, and running a business.
- The simple lifestyle tools that help Brooke manage her symptoms.
- A refreshing perspective on using ADHD as a superpower in entrepreneurship.
- How Brooke is approaching medication while breastfeeding.
- The most helpful ways to support a partner or loved one with ADHD.
This episode isn’t just a diagnosis story — it’s a conversation about understanding yourself, giving your brain what it needs, and releasing the guilt around the way you operate. If you’ve ever felt like your brain works differently, you’re not alone and you’re not broken.
🎧 Listen now to hear how I’m navigating adult ADHD with three kids, a business, and a big heart for helping mamas feel like themselves again.
