ADHD & Reclaiming Your Power with Katy McNair

What happens when you discover later in life that your brain works differently than you thought?

In this episode of She Can, I sit down with Katy McNair, better known as ADHD Mum Rules on Instagram, to talk about her journey to a late ADHD diagnosis and how it transformed her understanding of herself, her relationships, and her life.

We explore the often-overlooked signs of ADHD in women, why so many women go undiagnosed for years, and the impact that diagnosis can have on confidence, self-worth, and everyday life. Katy shares practical insights on living with ADHD, managing the challenges, embracing the strengths, and letting go of the shame that so many women carry.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you may have it, or simply want to better understand the women in your life, this conversation is packed with honesty, wisdom, and encouragement.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The reality of late ADHD diagnosis in women
• Why ADHD often presents differently in females
• The emotional impact of finally getting answers
• Practical strategies for living and thriving with ADHD
• Self-acceptance, empowerment, and reclaiming your power
• How understanding your brain can change your life

This is a powerful conversation about self-discovery, resilience, and what becomes possible when you stop trying to fit into a mould that was never designed for you.

Listen now and discover how understanding yourself can be the first step to reclaiming your power.

Cat Cubie is a broadcaster with over 20 years of experience presenting across TV, radio and digital — from hosting primetime BBC to ITV and Channel 4 to fronting her own daily radio show on Heart Scotland.

Alongside her broadcasting career, she created The Sleep Mums podcast during lockdown — a show that became an award-winner, landed a book deal with HarperCollins, and reached Amazon bestseller status.

These experiences, and her own journey through the highs and insecurities of public life, led her to focus on confidence, imposter syndrome and finding your authentic voice.

In this episode we talk about being confident-ish, Cat shares her confidence kit with us and she vulnerably shares about how she has come through her PMDD journey.

On this episode of the podcast we talk to the legend, Angelina Daly. Angelina is inspiring because she has an idea and she makes it happen. She takes action, and implements more than most.

Her story is unbelievable. She went from selling kitchens, to qualifying as an aesthetics practitioner to running a team of 16 aesthetics nurses at The Scottish Aesthetics Co.

She decided to start the couch to 5km and a year later was a sponsored runner of the Tokyo Marathon, sponsored by Runna 🤯

We talk about the power of taking action in life, being supported by your partner and how to master the art of not caring what other people think.
