In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of our top episodes of 2025 with clinical psychologist, Dr Russell Ramsay.Together, we explore the powerful link between ADHD and anxiety, and why so many women experience both. This conversation offers a validating look at how ADHD’s constant uncertainty can fuel anxious thoughts, self-doubt and overthinking, and why there is nothing “wrong” with you for feeling this way.​We unpack how anxiety can act as an alarm system, what it might be trying to signal based on past experiences, and how tools like CBT, emotional labelling and distanced self-talk can help you move through anxious moments with more clarity and self-compassion.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!Key Takeaways:Why anxiety and ADHD are so often intertwined stemming from a fear of uncertainty An explanation of why stimulants (for some people) can lower anxiety by improving focus and reducing mental chaosUnderstanding what your anxiety is trying to protect you from and how to build self-confidence Where RSD and social anxiety come from and why it they can feel more intense for ADHD womenSeeing anxiety as an alarm system rather than a personal failing to support more confident choices How tolerating discomfort can help you get started with anxiety-provoking tasksSimple tools like emotional labelling and distance self-talk to calm your inner chatter and reduce catastrophic thinkingTimestamps:00:06 - Reflecting on Previous Episodes01:55 - Understanding the Connection Between ADHD and Anxiety08:48 - Understanding Anxiety and Emotions12:06 - Managing Anxiety and Emotional Awareness14:38 - Understanding Distanced Self TalkThe More Yourself Community doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

In this wisdom episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re revisiting one of this year’s most listened-to conversations with ADHD coach Meredith Carder, all about redefining what rest really looks like for our ADHD brains. The holiday season can feel especially intense and overwhelming, so this Christmas Day replay is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow down, honour your needs, and choose rest that actually works for you.​Together, we explore why traditional ideas of “rest” often don’t work for ADHD women and how you can start redefining recovery, energy, and self-care in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable.​My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!Key Takeaways:What rest can look like for ADHD beyond just lying on the sofaDifferent types of rest including mental rest, active rest, and energising activities that help you reset rather than shut downHow to experiment with what truly recharges you instead of defaulting to what you think you “should” be doingWhy building confidence and self-trust is essential so you can give yourself permission to rest differently and honour your own rhythmsThe role of self-compassion in navigating low days, burnout, and motivation dips without spiralling into shame or self-criticismChallenging societal expectations about productivity, careers, and “how life should look”Honouring your needs to live in a way that genuinely supports their wellbeingThe impact of common ADHD co-occurring conditions (like anxiety and depression) How releasing shame and judgement around your needs, work, and pace can create more space for your full potential to emergeTimestamps:00:08 - Acknowledging Challenges During Festive Seasons00:57 - The Importance of Rest for ADHD Brains04:50 - Redefining Rest for ADHD08:10 - Trusting Ourselves and Challenging Norms09:59 - Building Self-Trust in ADHD Recovery12:36 - Navigating Career Challenges with ADHDThe More Yourself Community doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.
