02 | ADHD in Women: Recognizing ADHD Symptoms and Navigating Late Diagnosis For Women In Real Estate

Hey Friend!

Today we’re diving deep into how ADHD presents differently in women and girls compared to boys and men. If you’ve ever wondered if your struggles with focus, procrastination, or overwhelm are more than just “mom brain,” you're not alone!

Today we're unpacking:

-Why ADHD is often overlooked in women and how the symptoms show up differently than in men.
-The 3 types of ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined) and how they manifest in women.
-Common symptoms of ADHD in women, including masking, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, procrastination, overwhelm, burnout, lack of focus, mental hyperactivity, time management issues, hyperfocus, ADHD paralysis and more.
-How life stages like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can magnify ADHD symptoms.
-Why many women don’t get diagnosed until their 20s, 30s, or 40s.
-What to do if you suspect ADHD might be behind your struggles and how to take the next step toward getting evaluated.

As real estate agents, ADHD can affect how we manage client relationships, stay on top of deadlines, and handle the fast paced nature of our industry. This episode highlights how ADHD shows up in women, and it’s a great foundation for understanding how it may be impacting your real estate business.

ADHD affects more women than we realize, and understanding how it shows up differently can be life-changing. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks, struggling with focus, or wondering if you might have ADHD, I hope this episode helps you gain clarity regarding your struggles.

Heather
