Publisher's Summary

If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've probably known - all your life - that you're different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways-from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents.

Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It's time for a change.

A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you'll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life.

So very grateful I found this book!

Thank you so much for writing this book. It has given me great clarity and understanding myself and why I have suffered so much through life and felt so lost, felt so much shame and like I don’t belong. Embracing my beautiful brain and celebrating what makes me different around people where I’m loved and safe to be myself is my biggest takeaway. Thank you again !

a handbook on finding me

a great, positive yet realistic exploration of being a woman with ADHD. REALLY helped me to be more forgiving of myself and see how I could engineer my life to smooth out some of the ADHD speed bumps

OMG Amazing

Such a great read and shares so much empowerment amd reframes any shame and guilt carried around by women with ADHD.
Certainly a book I'm going to dip back into time and time again.

Absolutely Amazing

I have just been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult woman. This book has helped me laugh, cry & get it into perspective. It also offers usable strategies that I can see will work well for me & my unique brain…. I better go back and write them down so I don’t forget them 😆
Highly recommend
Thank you xx

Ordinary recording

The recording was fairly poor, the start of sentences were cut off - particularly the reflective questions. Very frustrating.

Would be AMAZING with printables!!!

I absolutely love the messaging of this book. As a recently diagnosed 38 year old, this book is helping me on a journey of empowerment and self-acceptance, as well as dealing with a lot of grief and regret about missed opportunities and potential. The one thing I would LOVE to see, is a printable resource for some of the more interactive activities and questions throughout the book.

Mindset Changer

Opens up your mind to the basic understanding of Adhd in females. So many commonalities and words that resonate with my life. It is definitely a positive once you can understand what it is and move forward without shame and masking.
