You built the career. You held it all together. You were the one everyone counted on. And somewhere in the middle of all of that — you lost the thread back to yourself. In this episode, Libby Andrew explores one of the most quietly devastating experiences of late-diagnosed ADHD: the moment the performed identity stops working. If you've ever opened your mouth to answer "what do you want?&...

You planned ahead. You knew what time it was. You genuinely wanted to be there. And somehow — you were still late. This episode is about why. ADHD researcher Dr. Russell Barkley coined the term time blindness for a reason — and once you understand what's actually happening in your brain, the chronic lateness, the missed windows, the last-minute scramble finally makes sense. This isn't a willpower...

Today I sit down with a teacher of 30 years. A teacher who has spent three decades in the classroom helping kids with ADHD — and who, somewhere along the way, never once saw herself in them. Until she did. Fiona Kearnan is an Australian educator, ADHD advocate, and author of Unseen Battles — a book she wrote for brilliant, high-achieving women like herself who received their ADHD diagnosis later i...

It turned into something else entir...

Nobody is thinking about you as much as you think they are. I know — rude. Also? The most liberating thing I'll ever say to you.

The ADHD brain is wired for departure. The novelty, the...

This is a podcast for women who have always been capable… who have built careers, raised families, created beautiful lives…and yet somewhere along the way, something stopped working the way it used to. Maybe you’ve always been someone people describe as intense. Creative. Quick thinking. The person who can figure anything out. But suddenly you find yourself exhausted. Overwhelmed. Forgetting thing...

In this episode of On Purpose, Libby Andrew explores the hidden reality of ADHD masking in women: the ability to be compsed, successful and together while privately feeling that they are working harder than everyone else. Through personal reflection, cultural insight and a deeper look at how ADHD presents differently in girls and women, Libby unpacks why so many women were overlooked by traditiona...

Diagnosed with ADHD at 50? You're not alone. Before we get into it, I thought you might want to know how I discovered I had been living with undiagnosed ADHD for 50 years, and why I decided to coach women who discovered the same thing.
