The Shit Show: When ADHD and Perimenopause Decide to Have a Party

Real conversations about what happens when ADHD and changing hormones collide, why everything can suddenly feel harder, and what you can actually do about it. No bullshit. No “just try harder”. Just straight-up conversations about the shit show that is ADHD and perimenopause.
