The Shit Show: When ADHD and Perimenopause Decide to Have a Party
ADHD and perimenopause on their own can be challenging. Put them together and things can get seriously messy. Brain fog. Forgetfulness. Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Mood swings. Sleep going to shit. Losing your train of thought halfway through a sentence. Wondering why the hell you can't seem to function like you used to.
The Shit Show is for women who are living it. 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.
