1. Navigating the Wild Ride of ADHD and Perimenopause: Interview with Chrissy [part 1]

Welcome to our very first episode ever of ADHD Peri Punks ! In part one of a 2-part interview with Chrissy, Chrissy gets raw, real and vulnerable about ADHD, Autoimmunity & Perimenopause—A Trifecta of WTF.
In the first half of Chrissy’s deep-dive interview, she and Sarah go full throttle on what it’s like to be a neurodivergent woman dealing with ADHD, autoimmune issues, and perimenopause—all at once. They’re not here for polite convos or bullshit platitudes. From grief meltdowns to medical gaslighting, they’re talking real symptoms, real rage, and the radical power of community. It’s raw, rebellious, and full of F-bombs and feels.

Takeaways That Hit Like a Hormone Crash:

• ADHD + autoimmune + perimenopause? It’s not “in your head,” it’s hell.

• Medical professionals often miss or dismiss neurodivergent women. That ends here.

• You’re allowed to grieve, rage, and not have your shit together.

• Diagnosis isn’t defeat—it’s clarity.

• ADHD is a disability, and pretending otherwise is ableist trash.

• Hormonal chaos can hijack your brain. That doesn’t make you broken.

• Meditation, community, self-care—real tools, not toxic positivity.

• Laughing about the hard stuff? That’s therapy with better side effects.

• Midlife women aren’t invisible. We’re loud, we’re tired, and we’re done being ignored.

• Embracing your neurodivergence is punk. Full stop.
