Ever wonder what ADHD looks like in older adults? 🧦

It might show up as a sock collection waiting for its match, feeling guilty when you’re not “doing something,” or getting overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks. For many, ADHD isn’t just a childhood thing—it’s lived quietly for decades, often undiagnosed, especially in women.

In this clip, we explore the quirks, challenges, and small victories of navigating life with ADHD later in life—and why understanding it can bring so much relief.

If this sounds familiar, check out the book that explains it all. 📚

Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? 📝

Think of it like a hospital triage: not everything needs to be done immediately. In this clip, we break down 3 simple filters to prioritize your tasks so you can stop feeling stressed and start making progress:

1️⃣ Deadline – What truly needs to be done this week?
2️⃣ Impact – What tasks will make the biggest difference if done (or undone)?
3️⃣ Time – How much time do you realistically have to get things done?

Start using these filters and watch your to-do list shrink from 100 tasks to just a few high-priority actions. Less stress, more clarity, better results! 💡

UK-based author and menopause expert Michelle Rowlinson shares her story of living through seven years of what she describes as absolute chaos—weight gain, hair loss, acne, heart palpitations, insomnia, and the terrifying feeling of “losing her mind.” 😳 She couldn’t even remember patient names at work, and every doctor kept telling her it was just stress or depression.

The turning point? A massive panic attack in a supermarket over something as small as choosing the wrong cereal. That’s when Michelle realized something bigger was going on—something many adults experience but rarely talk about: undiagnosed ADHD.

Did you know that women in their 40s were often misunderstood during the Salem witch trials? Many were labeled “fidgety” or “disobedient,” when in fact, some of their behaviors may have been linked to perimenopause or neurodivergence.

In this clip, we also explore a modern story: a healthcare professional in his 40s thought he had early-onset dementia, but a full workup revealed ADHD instead. ADHD can often go undiagnosed in adults—even in those who didn’t know anyone in their family had it—because it’s highly heritable and sometimes overlooked across generations.

Whether you’re curious about adult ADHD, perimenopause, or just love fascinating history facts, this reel ties it all together.
