Toolkit Episode: Living authentically with ADHD with Sari Solden
How would it feel to release the mask you've been wearing for years, lean in to your neurodivergence and embrace your ADHD?
This week's episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit can help you do just that.
I'm joined by ADHD legend Sari Solden – an experienced psychotherapist and author of the newly re-released Journey Through Adulthood – to discuss the unique challenges and empowering journey of women with ADHD.
Sari has spent 35 years helping adults with ADHD overcome emotional challenges and embrace their true, neurodivergent selves.
In this insightful episode, Sari reflects on her experiences in the mental health field during the 80s and 90s, and reveals why it took decades to recognise the ways in which ADHD shows up in women.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The common misconceptions about ADHD in women
The role of identity and self-acceptance in managing ADHD
How to understand and embrace ADHD as part of your identity
How to overcome shame, self-doubt and societal pressures
Ways to balance protection and connection in your relationships.
Navigate ADHD and live a more fulfilled life using Sari’s three-stage framework.
Ready to work on self-acceptance, resilience and pursuing an authentic life? This episode is for you.
