The ADHD girls Podcast

Hosts Claire and Laura check in after the holidays to talk about how ADHD showed up over Christmas — from masking and social exhaustion to decision fatigue and sensory overwhelm during mixed-group gatherings.They share practical coping strategies (like choosing ahead, setting boundaries, and pacing yourself), reflect on saying “no” without shame, and emphasize self-compassion and planning to protect energy during the festive season.

In this episode Laura and Claire discuss how spending time in nature helps women with ADHD by calming racing thoughts, restoring attention and reducing daily pressure. They share personal stories about sensory needs, overcommitment, and practical tips like short mindful walks, using simple notebooks, bringing plants indoors and focusing on sights, sounds and smells.The hosts also include a "no shame" segment about allowing rest and managing sensory clothing choices, encouraging listeners to try small outdoor steps and notice how they feel afterwards.

Claire and Laura explore how simple movement — walking, running, dancing, or even short breaks — helps regulate ADHD brains, improves focus, and lifts mood. They share personal stories, science-backed insights, and practical tips to make movement doable during busy days.The episode also celebrates self-care without judgment, from parkruns and forest bathing to naps and chair yoga, encouraging listeners to try what works for their body and routine.

In today's episode, we talk about the various effects of movement and how it impacts adhd.

Hosts Laura and Claire explore the lived experience of ADHD mental extremes — the rapid swings from intense hyperfocus and energy to full shutdown, the role of basics (sleep, food, movement), and how hormones, rejection sensitivity, and overstimulation amplify symptoms.They share coping ideas, emphasize self-compassion and management over “fixing,” and introduce a "no shame zone" to reframe judgment and accept neurodivergent wiring.

Two diagnosed ADHD women walk through a park discussing how ADHD affects their emotions, energy spikes (“God mode”) and crashes, decision paralysis, rejection sensitivity, seasonal low mood, and the healing power of nature and routines.They share honest, relatable stories about creativity, perfectionism, sleep struggles, coping strategies like noise-cancelling headphones and sleep sounds, and the importance of self-compassion and peer support.
