Understanding ADHD in Women: Symptoms, Stories and Strategies

Due to high demand and the rapid sell-out of February’s talk, we are pleased to bring this back to the programme for those who missed out. 

Adult ADHD diagnoses in women have risen dramatically in recent years, challenging long-held stereotypes and revealing how deeply the condition has been misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and overlooked in women and girls. 

Lindsay Rocke, also known as ‘The ADHD Big Sister!’, is an ADHD Empowerment Coach and Wellbeing Speaker. In this empowering and informative talk, Lindsay sheds light on the widely misunderstood condition of ADHD and how it uniquely presents in women. 

She explores why so many women are overlooked in childhood and only receive a diagnosis later in life, often after years of burnout, self-doubt, and misdiagnosis. Blending research and insight with her own late-diagnosis journey, Lindsay breaks down the subtle and often invisible symptoms of ADHD in women. 

Most importantly, she offers practical tools, mindset shifts, and compassionate strategies to help women move beyond “survival mode” and learn how to truly thrive as their authentic selves.  

Educational, validating, and hopeful, this talk leaves audiences feeling seen, understood, and empowered
