Empowerment Through Understanding: Launching The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit by Kate Moryoussef

July 10th 2025

In this guest blog, we hear from ADHD wellbeing coach, podcaster and author Kate Moryoussef, whose new book The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit publishes this week aimed at women who are navigating the early stages of ADHD discovery. 

For many women, discovering they are neurodivergent, especially later in life, can be both a revelation and a reckoning. It can bring relief, clarity, grief, and even confusion, all at once. This was exactly the space I found myself in when I was diagnosed with ADHD at 40, and it’s the space in which I’ve created The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, which has helped build The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit to support more women who recognise their neurodivergence later on in life.

Released on 17 July, my new book is for women who are navigating the early stages of ADHD discovery, those undergoing or awaiting diagnosis, or those still piecing together what it all means, often without much guidance or aftercare. Too often, once a diagnosis is received, women are left asking: What now? This Toolkit is my answer to that question.

A Companion for the ADHD Journey, Wherever You Are Whether you're newly diagnosed, self-identifying, or somewhere in between, The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit is designed to meet you exactly where you are. It’s not a book that requires you to read from cover to cover. In true ADHD style, it invites you to dip in and out—to open to a chapter and find something immediately useful, empowering, and practical for your day. So often, women come to this realisation of their neurodivergence while they are parenting children who also have ADHD. They are managing work, family life, hormonal changes like perimenopause, and often a backlog of burnout, anxiety, trauma, or grief. In these complex, high-pressure environments, our ADHD traits don’t just surface—they amplify. This book is here to help women not only cope but truly thrive.  An ADHD Toolkit for Empowered, Holistic Wellbeing Many women I speak to want to feel more in control of their health, emotions, energy, and time, but they don't necessarily want to rely solely on medication. That’s why I wrote this book with an emphasis on holistic, lifestyle-focused approaches that can complement clinical care or stand alone where access to services is limited.   Inside the toolkit, readers will find empowering strategies for: • Supporting mental and cognitive health • Regulating and grounding our nervous system • Improving sleep and reducing overstimulation • Finding more joy, creativity, and connection • Navigating hormonal shifts like perimenopause • Regulating mood and energy through gentle daily practices   Ultimately, the book helps women reclaim agency over a condition that may have silently influenced them their whole lives.

Validating the invisible struggles

Many women reach a diagnosis after years—sometimes decades—of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. Whether it was labelled as anxiety, depression, or something else, their true ADHD experience was rarely acknowledged for what it was. That’s why this book isn’t just about tools; it’s also about understanding, awareness, and validation. It’s about helping women make sense of their past and, perhaps for the first time, connect the dots between their brain, body, emotions, and lived experience.

It encourages women to build stronger boundaries, let go of the “shoulds,” and tune into what really lights them up—without apology.

Why libraries matter more than ever when we need to learn more! 

As someone who adores books, I’ve always found libraries to be sacred spaces. I even have my own personal library at home, with hundreds of books that I either buy or are sent to read for The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, which I host and allows me to speak to global specialists and experts on neurodivergence! As a life-long learner and someone who is highly curious (I'm an ADHD Gemini!), for me, a library isn’t just a place to borrow books—it’s a place of peace, exploration, and possibility. It’s a space where I’ve spent countless hours flicking through pages, researching, learning, and feeling empowered through knowledge.

That’s why I feel so strongly that The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit belongs on library shelves across the UK. Support shouldn’t only be for those who can afford it. Everyone deserves access to the information that can help them or someone they love.

ADHD resources need to be financially accessible and available to read in safe, calm spaces where people can take what they need and implement it that very same day. My hope is that this book becomes a gentle companion to any woman searching for answers and that it helps her feel less alone, more understood, and more capable of shaping a life that works for her.

A toolkit that can start a revolution

This book is more than a guide—it’s a quiet revolution. A revolution of understanding, of self-trust, of thriving in a world that often misunderstands neurodivergent minds. And by making it available in libraries and bookshops, we’re ensuring that more women can access that revolution—one page at a time.
