"The ADHD brain is a reward and emotion-focused brain...and we feel this intensely, which can have a huge impact on our relationships...."There's no doubt about it, ADHD can seriously impact our relationships. Whether it shows up with our impulsivity, memory, RSD, sensory issues or emotional regulation, having ADHD within a relationship can often feel testing and difficult. Understanding, navigating and nurturing our relationships alongside ADHD can hugely benefit both partners and family dynamics. This week Kate chats with Melissa Orlov, the founder of ADHDmarriage.com, and author of two award-winning books on the impact of ADHD in relationships - The ADHD Effect on Marriage (2010) and The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD (2014). A marriage consultant, Melissa helps ADHD-affected couples from around the world rebalance their relationships and learn to thrive through her seminars, consulting and books. She also teaches marriage counsellors and other professionals about effective marriage therapy for couples impacted by ADHD. Melissa is considered one of the foremost authorities on the topic of how ADHD impacts adult relationships. During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Melissa talk about:Tips to optimise your relationship with ADHDManaging RSD in your relationshipNavigating your ADHD symptoms to benefit your relationshipLearning to correctly interpret and manage ADHD to be a dependable partnerHow a non-ADHD partner can help their spouseNuances of how ADHD can show up in relationshipsHealing together after an late in life ADHD diagnosisHow your partner can relieve some of your symptoms using verbal cues Sharing the emotional load of ADHDWhy and how you could be over compensating You can connect with Melissa on her website, www.adhdmarriage.com, or via Facebook and Twitter.Big thanks to this week's sponsor Neubria.com who has offered all listeners a 20% discount on all their supplements.

"Embracing and working with our strengths teaches us to thrive with ADHD."Speaking about an autism or ADHD diagnosis within the workplace can feel daunting, exposing and scary. However, when we advocate for ourselves within our work setting, we are enabling the support, care and accommodations we deserve. Working with - and no longer - against our brains means we can excel more in our careers without the burnout and exhaustion that typically comes with neurodiversity. Often the way we work can look different to others, but that doesn't mean it's less effective. The more we talk about this and allow different options to be implemented, the healthier, happier and more productive we feel within our work environment. This week’s guest, Samantha Hiew is the Director of ADHD Girls, a company founded with a social mission to empower girls and women with ADHD through effective advocacy, education and specialists’ insights.With a background in healthcare communications and a PhD in Cancer Research, Samantha is passionate about helping individuals with ADHD access employment and training organisations to provide the support they need to thrive in their circumstances, thereby increasing happiness and wellbeing and improving productivity.During this episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Samantha spoke about: Feeling alone after an ADHD diagnosis The power of anecdotal experiencesThe benefits of being around others like you and community  Sam's autism diagnosis and her surpriseADHD and Autism often going hand in handNeeding to have a passion, fulfilment to stave off depressionSam's mission with ADHD diagnosisRecognition Responsive Euphoria and what it is and looks like Navigating ADHD and Neurodiveristy in the workplaceHow employers can boost their ADHD employee's confidence Advocating for yourself in the workplaceEmbracing our strengths and interests to thrive with ADHDYou can connect with Samantha via adhdgirls.co.uk or on social media via Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter, @adhd_girlsThanks to our sponsor, Brain.
