Episode Synopsis

What happens when your hormones and your executive dysfunction start tag-teaming your brain? In this episode of ADHDebrief, I sit down with my assistant Trish — and let’s just say, it’s not your average work meeting. We get into her journey of being diagnosed with both ADHD and PMDD, two conditions that are often misunderstood on their own, and even more confusing when they show up together.Trish shares what it was like trying to make sense of her mood swings, fatigue, and crashing self-esteem — especially when it all seemed to come and go with her cycle. We talk about what PMDD actually is (because no, it’s not just “bad PMS”), how it can amplify ADHD symptoms, and why so many people are left struggling without the right language or support.This is a conversation about hormones, mental health, and learning to work with your brain instead of against it. If you’ve ever found yourself crying in the bathroom at work for no clear reason — this one's for you.
