In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Gilly Khan—psychologist, writer, mother, and ADHD expert—to explore the overlooked realities of ADHD in girls and women. Dr. Khan shares her personal journey of being diagnosed at 33, the emotional truths of living with ADHD, and why early diagnosis is critical for young girls. We dive into the challenges of emotional dysregulation, the stigma surrounding ADHD, the role of medication, and the power of self-compassion. Plus, we discuss her upcoming book, which blends psychology, memoir, and self-help to give voice to women’s experiences with ADHD. This is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone passionate about changing the narrative around ADHD in girls.
