  • 29. S4. Ep 5. Sarah's passion for getting ADHD women supported by the health profession during perimenopause.
    2026/03/26
    “I wanted to take my head off and shut that noise up, and then perimenopause arrived”. How an experienced nurse advocated for herself as an ADHDer. In this penultimate episode of the Neurodivergence and Mental Health Podcast I was delighted to speak with Sarah West who is also an ADHD coach, with a particular interest in perimenopause. Much of our conversation was about the communication difficulties between perimenopausal women and GPs. For Sarah, this began when she was experiencing exhaustion and went to her GP, concerned for her health. Even thinking she had cancer. Backwards and forwards, year after year, with little support. Eventually Sarah found the best way to communicate with her GP and she shares important information in the show notes for all women to use before they make a GP appointment. All of my guests who are ADHD, autistic or AuDHD have spoken about how severe their mental health became approaching perimenopause. Suicidal ideation and very dark thoughts are more common than once thought. It is fascinating listening to the experiences of women who have gone from the depths of despair to finally getting their lives back on track. In this fifth episode of the series, dedicated to the menopause, Sarah shares how her children shone a light on her own neurodivergence. She shows how, by advocating for herself, she has been able to support so many other women. Sarah is extremely generous with her support so if you are neurodivergent, heading for, or in perimenopause, make sure to listen to this insightful episode, knowing that you will be taking away practical advice about hormones, ADHD medication, how to communicate with your GP and hope for a blossoming journey from perimenopause to post menopause. Thank you Sarah West for this brilliant, insightful conversation. Links to Sarah's resources “I wanted to take my head off and shut that noise up, and then perimenopause arrived”.

  • 28. S4. Ep 4. Renee's Perfect Storm During Perimenopause
    2026/03/20

    From being a hyperlexic and gifted child, Renee ran the gauntlet of secondary school. She left her imaginary friends at home and turned to the church where God became her new friend - for a while.

    Renee's journey through her teenage years were tough. Her mum had mental health issues and her dad had just been given a terminal illness diagnosis at 35. With troubles at home and school Renee started her periods. Her story around this was traumatic in itself.

    Childbirth nearly killed Renee and took her months to recover. She still went on to study for an HND, degree and Masters. Both skilled at maths and teaching, Renee just kept bouncing back.

    Renee shares her deep love for her children and husband who is her soulmate and brilliant supporter. Other support services failed her time and again.

    From teaching assistant to working shifts at McDonalds, accountancy and tutoring, Renee constantly works hard. She lives with Hypermobility Ehler's Danlos, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and chronic pain and believes they are all connected. Add in being autistic and ADHD - more connections.

    Renee went into a perfect storm as she approached perimenopause. It's a miracle she's still standing. She is amazing!

    Now Renee supports children with an outreach company that she runs. Giving support to all intersections.

    Renee proves that, no matter how hard life can be, we can all keep trying.
