004 Breaking the ADHD “Always On” Cycle with Kate Moryoussef
Ep. 4
•
In this episode, Kim Raine is joined by the phenomenal Kate Moryoussef, host of the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast and author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit. This rich and honest conversation dives into the emotional and practical realities of living and working with ADHD as a woman, particularly as an entrepreneur.
Kim and Kate reflect on the early days of navigating ADHD diagnosis, the role of hormones, and why Kate’s podcast became such a beacon for women feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or burnt out.
They explore how burnout often goes unrecognised until it’s too late, how to begin spotting the early signs, and why it’s so essential to honour your energy cycles, create spacious routines, and reconnect with joy, creativity, and community. Kate opens up about her own challenges running a purpose-led digital business with ADHD, from managing overwhelm to finding the right team and learning to give herself grace.
She also shares powerful insight into why self-compassion is such a crucial tool for women with ADHD, and how shifting the narrative from “I’m the problem” to “this is my ADHD” can be life-changing. The conversation closes with a heartfelt call to trust your intuition, back yourself, and allow your unique brain to lead the way, even if it looks different from what everyone else is doing. For anyone navigating business, womanhood, or wellbeing with ADHD, this episode is full of both wisdom and warmth.
