Dr. Áine O’Dea Talk: Balancing the Mental Load: Supporting the Silent Struggle of Emotional Fatigue, Stress & Survival Mode for the ADHD Woman
Being a woman with ADHD means carrying an additional invisible mental load—juggling work, relationships, family, and expectations, which can create an unrecognised chronic stress and emotional fatigue. The world isn’t designed for the ADHD woman's brain, leaving many stuck in survival mode, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
This empowering International Women’s Day talk will explore the unique mental load of ADHD women, why stress hits harder, and how to shift from survival to thriving. You’ll walk away thinking about what practical strategies can help you reduce overwhelm, set boundaries, and navigate life more easily, confidently, and with self-compassion.
We hope you can make it!
