I read her wonderful book, A Well-Lived Life, and loved every page and the spiritual wisdom she shared - I had many epiphanies after each chapter. After spotting the signs of a neurodivergent brain - she shares her dyslexia, learning and education journey - I knew I had to reach out to her team and ask her to join the podcast! This episode was recorded at 8 am Dr Gladys's time in Arizona and she was as fresh as a daisy, with all the recording tech in place.During our conversation, Dr Gladys shares her story of having been held back in her early years of education due to undiagnosed dyslexia and how through her different way of learning and being curious, she is now recognised as a pioneer of the allopathic and holistic medical movements and a founding diplomat of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. She is also the co-founder and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, the Academy of Parapsychology and Medicine, and the founder of The International Academy of Clinical Hypnosis. She has spoken at TEDx.In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Dr Gladys discuss:How love improves all aspects of lifeWhat Gladys believes to be the true life force Being a pioneer of Holistic medicineSpeaking out for what you believe inAccepting what you can't change Positive reinforcements in childhood The power of being accepted Gladys's experience of education while being undiagnosed dyslexic in a rural Indian village If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk**When we finally understand how our ADHD can help us to succeed, we can lean into it. But it can feel so challenging when we're in the dark and have no idea why we keep hitting the same obstacles. We discuss this on today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast with guest Andrea McDowell, who also says it sometimes involves winging it and pivoting, even when we're terrified we may fail. Andrea believes in saying yes, winging it and finding the team to help!Andrea is a former TV director from London who escaped to the Oxfordshire countryside with her family in 2013 for a better life. She ran a successful wedding video company with a team of six and produced nearly 300 weddings a year until Covid hit, and she was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to close the business. To support her mental wellbeing and give her something to focus on during this time, she poured her heart and soul into her garden, which eventually became her next venture, Dahlia Beach - a Plant Your Own Flower Garden based in Oxfordshire. During this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast episode, I chat with the inspiring Andrea all about: Being a multi-passionate ADHD entrepreneur Seeing gaps in the marketOwning our failures, why we shouldn't be afraid to fail and accepting the mistakes we make Following our dreams with ADHD and harnessing our ADHD traitsBeing a maverick and staying true to our convictionsUsing hyper-focus to flourish and being brave in our choices Perimenopause, HRT and ADHDAdmin breakdowns in business and finding people to help fill the gapsCreating an ADHD-friendly business**All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk**If you enjoy the podcast, why not join Kate's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Collective, where you can access monthly live workshops, exclusive audio content and new resources specifically for the membership?

** All details of how to sign up for my brand-new, groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series are now on my website**As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years. We discuss this with guest, Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realised she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy and money.In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:Sadness after her ADHD diagnosisADHD overworking and overwhelmSigns that your work is weighing too heavyGetting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them Deciding how you want your work to make you feelAmanda's own journey in business being undiagnosed ADHDCreating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easier Having the courage to change and pivot in business Upper limiting ourselves as self-protectionPutting our nervous system firstHaving autonomy over your own mental health Letting our fear have its sayCreating an anti-hustle culture All information about Kate's groundbreaking ADHD Women's Wellbeing Hormone Series is available here: www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.ukYou can connect with Amanda on her website, amandaperry.co.uk and on Instagram, @amandaperry.
