There’s no doubt about it… ADHD is everywhere right now.

For many women with ADHD, life can feel like a never-ending balancing act—constantly being told you’re too loud, too wild, or too much, all the while feeling like you’ll never measure up. It can feel isolating and exhausting – but you’re definitely not alone!

Join Margaret River locals Grace Koelma and Tara Breuso, hosts of the hit podcast Your ADHD Besties, for a refreshingly honest conversation about women and ADHD. In this no-holds-barred discussion, Grace will introduce her new book, The ADHD Focus Friend—a science-backed workbook that offers you a safe place where your brain makes sense—a way to reframe your struggles, un-shame your past, and learn to work with your neurodivergent brain.
 
Join Grace & Tara for a cosy, unfiltered chat where we will:
 

  • Explore why many women receive an ADHD diagnosis later in life—and how that shapes your identity.
  • Break down what masking really means, from managing your emotions to taming that hormonal rollercoaster.
  • Dish out practical, science-based tips that mix honesty and oversharing with a dash of humor.
Stick around for a live Q&A and bring your burning questions. We can’t wait to meet you and that stunning brain of yours!
