ADHD in Women

This week, we’ve got a guest. I brought along Dr. Gilly Kahn to talk to us about ADHD in adults, what it looks like, why it’s missed and the challenges that we can face as a result. For the highly intelligent, successful people that I work with, considering this diagnosis has been challenging. There is such a pervasive stigma around this diagnosis and I’m hopeful that today’s episode opens your mind and expands your view, that it has you reconsider. Learn about aspects you may have missed or misunderstood as well as way we can cope.

Simon, a struggling student, realises one day that external life distractions have disappeared, he can read and comprehend a book for the very first time and comes face-to-face with his inner voice. Simon, recently diagnosed with ADHD, calls the voice Big Mo. Big Mo orchiatrates Simon´s life perfectly for the duration that Simon´s medication lasts in his system - a full 13 hours! Simon then realises he now lives every day, like so many other people with ADHD, in one world of confusion and one of clarity. With Big Mo´s suggestions and Simon´s productivity, the two look at problems and solutions in fitting into society with ADHD as well as with themselves. But Mo and Simon only come up with ideas from one source of information so they turn to Simon´s diaries, which he has written for 11 years, books on culture and self development, his wife, family, work colleagues, friends and school pals in finding the essential building blocks for a successful life with ADHD. Simon then sets up an ADHD success group in a local town, near to his home in Bayern Germany, to help teach others and to discuss more strategies in living successfully with ADHD. But when Big Mo leaves Simon after 13 hours, each and every day, Simon is plummeted into confusion once again. Simon is sad and distraught when Big Mo is absent but anticipates Big Mo´s arrival every morning within an hour of taking his medication. Simon and Big Mo have developed a strong bond and use success strategies every day. This book has been written in the hope that many others can follow this guide to lead a positive and enjoyable life with ADHD.

How this Entrepreneur is Empowering Women Through Fashion and Stories  

As women, we have so many similarities. A love for fashion is one of them, as are so many of life’s challenges and experiences. Jill Strickland Brown is empowering women through fashion to help them embrace their stories and journeys and feel confident and beautiful.

Empowering women through fashion is a gift Jill Strickland Brown shares with her clients, friends, and everyone she meets. She accomplishes this through her clothing boutique and her recently published book, Behind the Button.

Women supporting women

When given the opportunity to connect with someone like-minded, don’t hesitate. Reach out, connect, build relationships, and support one another. This is key to future female empowerment.

When empowering women through fashion, Jill helps build confidence

When we don’t have confidence in how we look, we don’t have confidence in how we feel. This leads us to not put ourselves into the world to make a difference.

Jill’s purpose of empowering women through fashion emerged

Originally, Jill set out to sell clothing. However, her purpose emerged over the years to help other women feel confident to go forth and do the good they are meant to do. Over the years she’s realized that we as women are all threaded together and are more alike than different.
