And can that person speak to the lost generation of women who weren't diagnosed as girls and who grew up being called too much, too scattered, too sensitive, and just learned to carry it all? Well, without her or I knowing it yet, that listener was describing my guest today, Kate Moryusef.
And now she helps women just like her who are only in midlife getting the language for what their brains and nervous systems have been doing their entire lives, compensating, performing calm they didn't feel, holding it all together so well that nobody, including themselves, ever thought to ask if they had ADHD.
And even if ADHD isn't your story, so many of you who fawn who overthink, who manage everyone else's experience of you before you even check in with your own, your nervous system has been running a version of the same program.
So whether this is your story, your daughters, your sisters, or a friend you keep thinking about while you're listening, stay with us because this one's for the racing brains and the overwhelmed nervous systems and the tired bodies that have been carrying them for all these years.
