I’ve always been a fan of multitasking—often doing more than one thing at a time, usually not very well! Long car drives, however, are my arch nemesis, which is why podcasts have become my secret weapon. I can dive into my special interest—neurodiversity—while driving, turning tedious hours on the road into learning experiences.
Over time, I’ve built a collection of go-to podcasts that help me feel seen, supported, and more equipped to manage my ADHD. I’m excited to share some of my favorites with you, hoping they’ll be as helpful for you as they’ve been for me.
1. The one that started it all - ADDitude - ADHD Experts Podcast
ADDitude's website my first port of call when I first got an inkling that I might have ADHD. I used their free diagnostic questionnaires to confirm that I was very likely to have ADHD, which was a bit of shock at the time. I am now a faithful subscriber to their magazine and frequent delve into the their huge catalogue of free resources.
This January ADDitude released "485 - New Year, New Playbook: Game Plans That Work for your ADHD Brain" with Tracy Otsuka. This episode was the antidote to decades of new year resolution disillusionment and an immense lack of faith in myself. This is a must listen if you are feeling stuck and de-motivated.

2. Kate Moryoussef's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast
Kate Moryoussef is an ADHD lifestyle and wellbeing coach and podcaster with a strong focus on self care. Her podcasts are the soothing remedy to a lifetime of harsh criticism (often self criticism) that will resonate with many people with ADHD. She also explores the benefits of EFT - a tapping technique that combines mindfullness with psychological acupressure techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.
I've listened to a lot of Kate's podcast, but my favorite by far is "Episode 78: Wisdom from a 102-year-old Neurodivergent Doctor with Dr Gladys McGarey". Dr Gladys's story gives a fascinating insight into the world of a woman who has categorically thrived with ADHD, not without facing her fair share of challenges that will sound very familiar to most late diagnosed ADHD ladies.

3. Hacking your ADHD with William Curb
William Curb brings a refreshing and often unconventional approach to ADHD topics. His casual, informal style keeps me engaged, and his episodes often tackle topics that aren’t commonly discussed.
Although William has recently stepped back from podcasting, his back catalogue is impressive. I particularly recommend the episode, "How to ADHD with Jessica McCabe." In this episode, he and Jessica dive into her book of the same name, which I found so insightful that I bought the book immediately! It’s packed with practical advice and is surprisingly easy to focus on—perfect for anyone with ADHD.
Jessica's book is available on Amazon here.
4. Katy Weber's Women & ADHD
Katy Weber’s podcast covers a wide range of topics relevant to women with ADHD, interviewing experts and delving into the issues that resonate with late-diagnosed women like me.
My standout episode so far is "Lotta Borg Skoglund: Biology, Hormones & The Invisible Girls". This one hit home hard, as a late diagnosed women, bringing context and understanding of my struggles in life, in particular through those difficult teenage years.
Lotta's book is available on Amazon here.
I hope you have found these podcasts as fascinating and useful as I have. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
