New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day often feel anticlimactic for ADHD women especially those diagnosed later in life. In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine explore why the pressure of a “fresh start,” exhaustion after December, and unrealistic expectations make New Year’s harder than it’s supposed to be. This is a validating conversation about doing New Year’s your way and remembering you’re not broken if your brain didn’t magically change overnight.
The holidays come with expectations and for ADHD women, those expectations often collide with real-life capacity. In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine talk about why holiday pressure, perfectionism, and “shoulds” hit ADHD brains so hard, and how the stress we think we’re hiding is often felt by everyone around us. A grounded, validating conversation about letting go of unrealistic expectations and redefining what a good enough holiday actually looks like.
The holidays hit differently for ADHD moms and sensory-sensitive kids. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine break down real-world co-regulation tools that help your family stay calmer, connected, and less overwhelmed during December chaos. From consent hellos and sensory survival kits to emotional honesty and regulating yourself first, this is a compassionate, hilarious, and deeply practical guide for ADHD women navigating the season. If you’re overstimulated, exhausted, or quietly hiding in the pantry with coping candy you’re in the right place.
December hits ADHD women differently. One minute you’re thriving on holiday dopamine, and the next you’re overstimulated, exhausted, and wondering why you’re hiding in the bathroom. Jess and Jeannine unpack the emotional overload, perfectionism pressure, family triggers, and DESR that make December feel impossible and why none of it means you’re failing. If the holidays break you a little, you are far from alone.
Gratitude hits differently when you have ADHD. Jess and Jeannine break down why “just be thankful” doesn’t land for neurodivergent women, From toxic positivity and comparison traps to the emotional overload that makes gratitude feel out of reach. They explore the science behind dopamine, joy, and micro-gratitude moments that actually work for ADHD brains, without guilt or pressure. Honest, funny, and validating, this episode shows how real gratitude can be messy, inconsistent, and still meaningful.
Thanksgiving can feel like a sensory marathon for ADHD women, even when we love parts of it. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine break down why the day can be both comforting and overwhelming logistics, invisible labor, family dynamics, and the pressure to “hold it all together.”
They explore different ADHD holiday styles, from cooking marathons to minimal-effort gatherings, and offer grounded ways to simplify the day without losing what matters. If you’ve ever wished the holiday came with fewer expectations and more breathing room, this conversation will feel like relief.
This is a calm, honest look at creating a version of Thanksgiving that works for your brain not the one the world assumes you should manage.
ADHD Rage isn’t just emotion, it’s chemistry. Jess and Jeannine break down how cortisol feeds the fire, why it feels like control in the moment, and how to cool down without shame when the crash hits.
When ADHD women hit the tipping point, it’s not weakness, it’s the moment everything you’ve held together finally gives way. Jess & Jeannine unpack why coping systems collapse, what “going over the edge” really means, and how relief, grief, and rebuilding all intertwine. For every woman asking why everything suddenly feels harder this one’s for you.
The masks are off, the dopamine’s high, and the jokes are dirty. Jess and Jeannine get unmasked about ADHD, Halloween, and why ADHD women love chaos. Especially the kind with candy.
Burnout doesn’t hit all at once it builds quietly. Jess and Jeannine unpack what ADHD women don’t recognize: the slow burn that drains energy, hides behind discipline, and leaves you running on empty.
October is loud! Especially when you live with ADHD. Jess and Jeannine explore the many awareness causes that overlap this month, from bullying and domestic violence to disability inclusion, visibility, and empathy in action.
Living with ADHD often means bouncing between burnout and overdrive. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine unpack perfectionism, hyper-independence, and learning to rest without guilt.
October is full of awareness campaigns but for ADHD women, it’s more than a calendar. Jess and Jeannine explore how every cause from breast cancer to mental health connects back to executive function, self-advocacy, and the reality of living in bodies that feel everything all at once.
Late-diagnosed ADHD women talk masking, burnout, and why you’re not the imposter.
imposter syndrome hits differently for ADHD women. Jess and Jeannine unpack how masking, perfectionism, and late diagnosis feed self-doubt and why the real imposter isn’t you, it’s the system.
Awareness Month isn’t about hashtags it’s about being seen.
In this bonus episode, Jess and Jeannine get real about why visibility still feels scary and why it matters. They unpack what “awareness” really means for women with ADHD: the fear of being misunderstood, the emotional weight of perfectionism, and the relief of finding community that finally gets it.
This isn’t fluff. It’s the reality of ADHD visibility, advocacy, and survival being told with humor, honesty, and heart.
ADHD loves extremes. Perfect or failing, all or nothing. Jess and Jeannine expose how black-and-white thinking fuels burnout and perfectionism, and why learning to live in the gray might be the most freeing thing ADHD women can do.
ADHD rage in women doesn’t always explode. It hides behind tears, silence, shutdowns, or guilt. In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine expose the shame cycle, the physical cost of holding anger in, and why so many late-diagnosed women were taught to bury their rage. Most importantly, they share how to release it without shame and start seeing anger as data not a flaw.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD is one thing. Deciding who to tell is another. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine get real about family reactions, workplace stigma, and why disclosure is always on your terms. Raw, honest, and sometimes funny, it’s a reminder that your ADHD truth belongs to you.
An ADHD diagnosis doesn’t come with instructions. Just a mix of relief, grief, and unanswered questions. Jess and Jeannine break down what really comes next and how to start rewriting your story on your terms.
You can’t change what you can’t name. With ADHD, the right words matter. Jess and Jeannine show how shifting from labels like “lazy” to language like time blindness or rejection sensitivity can turn shame into understanding, boundaries, and connection.
