FINDtheADHDgirls Podcast

Dr. Gilly Kahn is a psychologist, mom, writer—and a committed partner of FINDtheADHDgirls. She also contributed a powerful, detail-packed letter to our book, Letters to Our Younger Self.In this episode, Dr. Kahn shares what it was like to grow up with undiagnosed ADHD and how writing her letter brought old memories into sharper focus. We talk about the “true ADHD fashion” of putting things off, why body doubling can be the difference between stuck and started, and how inspiration can strike at the most random times—sometimes late at night when you least expect it.Dr. Kahn also opens up about living with big emotions, the shame that can form when you’re misunderstood, and the lasting impact of being called “stupid” or “an idiot.” She describes why journaling became a lifeline—helping her untangle the mental clutter, make sense of what she was feeling, and hold onto memories that otherwise slipped away. We also touch on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the idea of learning to live with painful emotions without letting them define you.This conversation is part of our Letters to Our Younger Self author series—created to help women feel seen, to name what so many of us lived through, and to inspire others to reflect on their own story with more compassion.Watch the video interview here: https://youtu.be/DSKkNXyr7OMLearn more about FINDtheADHDgirls: https://findtheadhdgirls.org#FINDtheADHDgirls #ftag #ADHDgirls #ADHDLife #ADHDPower #NeurodivergentStrength #KeepMovingForward #CelebrateYourWins #ADHDAwarenessFind The ADHD Girls is a project of the Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org)The mission of this project is to give all girls who have ADHDa fair start in life by getting them diagnosed by age 8.COULD YOUR DAUGHTER HAVE ADHD?ADHD can look different in girls - meaning that often, they are missed for ADHD diagnosis.Find out if your daughter has ADHD at findtheadhdgirls.orgLearn about inattentive ADHD at www.iadhd.org, the only website solely about inattentive ADHD
