S1 E22 ADHD in Women: Why You Feel Capable but Still Struggle with Tara Kanerva

In this conversation, Larisa sits down with Tara Kanerva, a coach specializing in ADHD in women, to unpack what’s really going on — beyond the labels, the stigma, and the surface-level advice. Because this isn’t about laziness. And it’s not a discipline problem. It’s about how your brain is wired — and how to start working with it instead of against it. In this episode, we cover: Why ADHD in women is often missed or misunderstood  The difference between being capable… and feeling inconsistent  What’s actually happening in the brain (dopamine + executive function)  Why small tasks can feel disproportionately hard  The emotional weight of shame, guilt, and self-blame  How to stop forcing yourself — and start creating strategies that work  A few powerful takeaways: You’re not broken — your brain may just work differently  Struggling with “simple” things doesn’t cancel out your capability  The goal isn’t to push harder… it’s to work smarter with your wiring  Connect with Tara Kanerva: Book a consultation: https://www.tarakanerva.com/book-online  Website: https://www.tarakanerva.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtarakanerva/  Connect with Larisa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow Website: https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ If this episode resonated, share it with a woman who needs to hear this. Because understanding yourself changes everything.
