This episode dives into the increasing diagnoses of adult ADHD and why the rise reflects real recognition rather than a passing trend. Esther Bangura, a financial coach for neurodivergent adults, shares her lived experience and professional insights into why many adults, especially women, are only now being diagnosed with ADHD. Topics include the systematic underdiagnosis of women, the role of masking behaviours that hide symptoms for years, and how life changes such as parenthood and menopause can reveal underlying challenges.

Listeners will learn about the emotional and financial hurdles adults face when seeking an ADHD diagnosis, the importance of accessible language for neurodivergent experiences, and how therapists and coaches are adapting their approaches. The episode also highlights common struggles like money management and executive dysfunction, explaining why coaching and tailored support are crucial for neurodivergent individuals.

Esther's expertise and personal journey offer validation and practical advice for anyone questioning their own neurodivergence or navigating adult ADHD for the first time. Tune in for an in-depth conversation about adult ADHD, late diagnosis, and finding effective strategies to thrive.
