Yeah, us too. In this episode, we're getting real about medical gaslighting, perimenopause symptoms that get dismissed, and why we're done apologizing for taking care of ourselves.


We talk about:


• Why doctors still don't take women's health seriously (and what to do about it)


• Perimenopause, hormones, and the tests that don't exist


• Teaching our ADHD kids to advocate for themselves in school


• Secret naps, productivity guilt, and why your worth isn't tied to your to-do list


• ADHD hacks that actually work (spoiler: keep your shoes on)


This is two moms, two cities, same frequency—navigating ADHD, burnout, and a healthcare system that wasn't built for us. No filter, no apologies.
