ADHD is different for women
Don't miss this life-changing week!
Yes, ADHD IS different for women, so we’ve invited the world’s top ADHD experts to talk specifically about women’s issues. It’s truly a cream-of-the-crop lineup of experts.
It was so nice to hear all these experts take my experiences as a woman with ADD seriously! Thanks for your excitement — I could feel it. You made the Palooza feel special and amazing, so I felt like I was really joining a conference, rather than just watching a bunch of interviews. I'm already looking forward to next year.
Great topics and variety! Linda and her team are a class act. We need strong leaders like her providing current information and support for the ADHD community, especially for women.
Keep up the good work! This really is a blessing - I have seen numerous psychologists and doctors and none of them have a clue about adhd and menopausal women - lets hope there will be some advances there. At least if nothing else I had some validation. I am so tired of the dismissals by younger women doctors and the eye-rolls (by male doctors).
Why the Palooza?
Because ADHD Women are Overdue for Some Special Treatment
Twenty-five years ago, ADD, as it was then known, was rarely diagnosed in girls and women. Gradually, the medical and psychology communities recognized that symptoms of ADHD are somewhat different for females.
Diagnosis and treatment opened doors for women. A collective sigh of relief could be heard from women who once thought they were either lazy, depressed, or even a bit crazy. It was just ADHD!
Free Yourself
Most ADHD women suffer in isolation. They hide behind a mask that helps them pass for “normal.” In some situations. On some days. For a little while. You are not the only one who feels the shame and guilt of missing the mark.
Find Understanding
ADHD women need resources from those who truly understand their challenges. Learn from professionals who have researched, written about, and listened to personal stories like ours. Steep in their expertise, soak up their wisdom.
I have enjoyed the Palooza talks! I can’t believe how much information was being shared. What a great idea and service for those of us living with this gift. I signed up for Encore, too! Yeah! Now I can revisit several speakers that really hit the target for me. Maybe even get my hubby to listen, too!
I'm psyched! Last year was my first and it was a breakthrough!! Linda, you do an amazing job.

RSD and Emotional Control in ADHD
William Dodson, M.D., LF-APA
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
The relative lack of control of the expression of emotions is now recognized as the largest source of pain and impairments in people with ADHD at all ages through the life span. It is odd, then, that Emotions have been intentionally ignored by research until very recently. A component of this difficulty with emotions is a condition in which people with ADHD are exquisitely vulnerable to overwhelming emotional episodes that are triggered by the perception that someone has withdrawn their love, approval, or respect. the technical name of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is an unofficial name for this experience which can have profound effects upon a person’s life and relationships. RSD can be made much less hurtful and disruptive with the use of medications such as guanfacine and clonidine.

Become a B.E.A.S.T. at Managing Your Money - the ADHD Friendly Way!
Annette Lang, C.A.L.C., MBA
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
It’s well documented that ADHDers have significantly greater money problems than neurotypicals. This occurs for a variety of reasons, such as challenged executive functions, low dopamine, and impulsivity. Additionally, ADHDers are more likely to be unemployed, have little or no savings, and earn less; all of which adds to their financial woes. However, there are ADHD friendly ways to address this challenge! By looking at one’s background, emotions, and actions, we can determine what specifically is behind the ADHDer’s issues, and can then find the right strategies and technology to support the ADHDer’s unique brain!

ADHD Menopause – What to Expect Before & After
Linda Roggli, PCC
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Menopause and ADHD – they are turbulent partners in more ways than you may suspect. You probably know estrogen affects dopamine in our ADHD brains: the lower the estrogen, the worse the ADHD symptoms. And at perimenopause estrogen does a flirtatious fan dance, waxing and waning dragging ADHD, night sweats, insomnia and brain fog along for the ride.
But there’s so much more. Joint pain or frozen shoulder? Low estrogen. Thin hair and itchy skin? Low estrogen. Dry eyes or migraines? Yep, low estrogen. Heck, there are an estimated 100+ menopausal symptoms. And many of them sail right on into post menopause.
Not a deep dive into the mechanics of the menopausal transition but a cornucopia of possible symptoms that you might not recognize as part of the “upset-the-estrogen-cart.” Knowledge is power even if the news is unsettling. And like your ADHD diagnosis: when you can name it, you can treat it.
About Linda Roggli
Linda Roggli is an award-winning author and founder of the A-D-Diva Network for ADHD women 40-and-better.

Too Many Balls to Juggle: The Courage and Commitment of Moms with ADHD
Ellen Littman, Ph.D.
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Motherhood requires organization, cooperation, consistency, patience, and emotional regulation—calling upon just the executive functions that perform unpredictably in moms with ADHD.
Dr. Littman explores why so many moms with ADHD feel overwhelmed, exhausted, criticized, inadequate.
Often anxious and depressed, they internalize stigma and compare themselves harshly to their peers.
She describes how ADHD brain connectivity responds to fluctuating hormones and dopamine levels, affecting everything from emotional reactivity and procrastination to food cravings and sleep.
Dr. Littman explains why so many women are being diagnosed in mid-life, after their children are evaluated. Diagnosis begins the bittersweet healing process, following decades of confusion, shame, and struggle–all misattributed to personal weakness.
She urges ADHD moms to learn to acknowledge their many strengths — like passion, perseverance, and ingenuity — and recognize, with compassion, how many balls they really do keep in the air.

You crave depth, meaning, and real connection. Your mind moves fast and wide; your heart feels intensely. After years of masking, overcompensating, or being labeled “too much” or “not enough,” connection can feel complicated. Small talk drains you. Rejection sensitivity stings. You long for conversations about impact, fairness, purpose, and what truly matters. In this session, we’ll explore why loneliness shows up for bright, ADHD women — and how to build authentic, sustaining connections without shrinking yourself.

We talk about how definitions of autism and ADHD have changed, how that makes things more confusing sometimes and how we approach diagnosis and support in adults in both conditions. We also talk about the importance of the contributions of the voices of people with lived experience as we continue to learn how to define and understand these conditions.

• Why do women with ADHD struggle so much with shame?

Motivation Aha! NOW I GET IT!
Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC, CPCC
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Motivation is a term loaded with emotion and judgment. In this session, we introduce a new theory of motivation, derived from Dr. Russell Barkley’s executive function model, viewed through the lens of executive function impairment. This more practical and tangible framework explains why many common assumptions about motivation in ADHD fail and clarifies anomalies that current models can’t. You’ll leave with a fundamentally different way of interpreting motivation, including a brief look at its hormonal component.

Elaine Taylor-Klaus, MCC, CPCC, and Diane Dempster, CPC, PCC
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
What happens when a relationship is both a partnership and a mixed marriage, where brains work differently, energy moves at different speeds, and strengths don’t always overlap? In this session, we’ll explore how neurodiverse couples and friends can transform tension into traction, especially in entrepreneurship. We’ll unpack differences in communication, decision-making, risk tolerance, and follow-through, and how to work with those differences instead of against them. You’ll hear how appreciation can replace resentment, how intentional structure can support creativity, and how understanding each person’s wiring can deepen connection, strengthen collaboration, and build more resilient, sustainable partnerships.

Flipping the Script: a Strengths-based approach to helping ADHD adults in the workplace
Debbie Collaros, PhD
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Most ADHD women don’t struggle because they lack skill or intelligence. They struggle because they’re trying to work in systems never designed for their brains. In this session, psychologist Dr Debbie Collaros flips the deficit narrative and reframes ADHD as a high-performance neurotype with powerful workplace strengths. You’ll learn why traditional productivity advice fails ADHD adults, how shame undermines performance and what actually works when you design work around dopamine, strengths and energy management – not willpower. Walk away with a fresh lens on your ADHD brain and some practical strategies to work with it, not against it.

ADHD and Sleep Apnea
Roberto Olivardia, PhD
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
ADHD and sleep apnea are distinct conditions, yet they often intersect in important ways. Sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during the night, leading to poor sleep quality and reduced oxygen levels. Disrupted sleep from apnea can worsen focus, mood, and executive functioning, sometimes mimicking or intensifying ADHD symptoms. Studies show a high prevalence of sleep apnea in individuals with ADHD. Proper diagnosis is essential, and treatment is important for physical and mental health. Untreated sleep apnea is associated with very serious health problems.

Dollars, Dopamine, and the Invisible Load: How ADHD Impacts Women’s Mental Health Through Money and Emotional Labor
Dr. Ali Perkinson
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Women with ADHD often carry a disproportionate share of invisible labor — managing finances, anticipating needs, regulating emotions, and holding relationships together — while simultaneously being labeled “bad with money,” “too emotional,” or “inconsistent.” This session explores how ADHD traits such as impulsivity, avoidance, time blindness, and rejection sensitivity intersect with gendered expectations to create chronic stress, shame, anxiety, and burnout.

Every woman has a door she doesn’t open — the cluttered room, the half-finished manuscript, the paperwork she can’t face. And every time she walks past it, it whispers: see, you never follow through. In this session, Aron Croft reveals why decades of planners, self-help books, and willpower haven’t worked for your brain — and shares three shifts that finally make consistent action possible at any age. Featuring the real stories of two women in their 70s who broke lifelong patterns and changed how they live.
About Aron Croft, M.S.:
Aron Croft, M.S., is the founder of Hidden ADHD and creator of the Productivity Transformation Academy, a 5-month coaching program that has helped hundreds of adults with ADHD develop reliable follow-through systems — without willpower, guilt, or another planner collecting dust. A Harvard graduate and former valedictorian, Aron spent decades hiding behind impressive credentials while privately struggling with executive dysfunction he couldn’t explain. By 33, he’d failed out of seven jobs and businesses, was broke, divorced, and earning minimum wage. An ADHD diagnosis at rock bottom changed everything — not because it gave him a label, but because it gave him permission to stop blaming himself and start building systems that actually worked for his brain. Over the next decade, he went from minimum wage to Fortune 500 consulting, then founded Hidden ADHD to help others skip the painful trial-and-error he went through. His work has been featured by ADDitude Magazine and ADDA (add.org). Today, Aron specializes in helping women 60+ with ADHD-style brains finish what matters, get organized, and build lives they’re proud of — using scaffolding, not shame. His students call it “finally having permission to stop pretending I’m fine.”

Untangle Your Thoughts: Breaking Free from The Stories That Are Keeping You Stuck
Heidi Fishbein, PCC
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Do your thoughts ever feel like they trap you? I’ll never get it together. Everyone else handles life better than I do. Why is this so easy for them and so hard for me?
Many women with ADHD know what it’s like to get pulled into spirals of overthinking and self-criticism but we don’t have to stay stuck in those patterns. When we learn how our thoughts actually work, we can begin to interrupt the loop, shift the story, and move forward with more clarity and self-trust.
Rather than fighting your ADHD brain, Heidi inspires and equips you to notice your thinking, question its truth, and intentionally choose thoughts that support the life you actually want to create.
About Heidi Fishbein, PCC
Heidi believes that people with ADHD are not broken, they are creative, capable, and intentionally designed with purpose. She believes that when individuals truly understand how their ADHD brain works and are supported with compassion, structure, and faith, lasting transformation becomes possible.
Heidi supports women, families, and coaches through a whole-person approach that honors the mind, heart, and spirit. She integrates evidence-based ADHD coaching, neuroscience, and professional coaching skills with faith-centered encouragement, helping people move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Her work is not about quick fixes, but about sustainable growth and meaningful change.
Professionally, Heidi is an ADHD Life Coach, speaker, and the Assistant Director of Training at the International ADHD Coach Training Center, where she trains and mentors ADHD coaches from around the world.
Yes, You Are Allowed to Disappoint People
ARI TUCKMAN, PSY.D., MBA
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
Too many dropped balls can make it easy to feel like you need to pretty much say yes to whatever others ask of you. While it’s wise to keep your relationships balanced and make up for those ADHD moments, over-promising tends to lead to under-delivering. It’s much better to politely decline earlier or set expectations for when you might be able to get it done. We will discuss how scary this can feel and why it’s extra important for women with ADHD.
About Ari Tuckman, Psy.D., CST

The Elephant in the Room: Can AI Really Coach ADHD?
Roger DeWitt, MCAC, PCC, MAPP
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
AI is everywhere. It writes emails, breaks down tasks, talks you out of shame spirals, and now it’s coaching. But let’s ask the real question: should it be?
In this session, Roger DeWitt addresses what no one wants to say out loud. Can AI replace human coaching? Where does it genuinely help the ADHD brain, and where does it fall short? What about privacy, ethics, emotional safety, and dependency?
This is not hype. It’s clarity.
About Roger DeWitt, PCC, MCAC, MAPP
Roger DeWitt, MCAC, PCC, MAPP, is a certified ADHD coach with a 20+ year track record and a genuine passion for the creative, curious, and beautifully chaotic ADHD mind.
As a Master Certified ADHD Coach and senior trainer at the ADD Coach Academy – the world’s largest ICF and PAAC-accredited ADHD coach training program – Roger has educated and mentored thousands of coaches globally. His style is direct, compassionate, irreverent, and, as a certified smart-ass, reliably funny.
Performing arts runs in Roger’s blood – his father was a symphonic musician, his mother was the original voice of Wilma Flintstone, and he spent his previous life as a Broadway actor, including a run in Phantom of the Opera. The dramatic flair comes honestly.
At 57, Roger earned a Master of Applied Positive Psychology at Penn and was invited to assist the legendary Martin Seligman. Lifelong learning isn’t just a value – it’s a personality trait.
Speaking of which: Roger has been deep in the AI space and was among the first coaches to build a personalized AI coaching tool – AI Coach Roger – blending real coaching nuance with cutting-edge technology. That’s why he’s here today.
Roger lives in NYC and Hudson, NY with his husband and their extremely opinionated Norwich Terrier.
I am SO grateful to all our 2026 Palooza experts this year. Such inspiring and insightful information. But as wonderful as our experts are, ADHD women need to hear from EACH OTHER. We are our own best experts sometimes. And that’s why I have insisted on hosting a LIVE event where ADHD women can meet, ask questions, share their stories and know that they have finally found their peeps! The Palooza Pink Ticket Party!
Isolation is kryptonite for ADHD women. We protect ourselves, put up walls, hope no one peeks behind them and we are so alone. So alone. But the Pink Ticket Party crushes those “It’s only me” thoughts. You are not alone.
The Zoom room for the Pink Ticket is absolutely private. I am committed to creating and maintaining a safe space for all of us. It’s a place to pull down the walls, take off the mask and be truly who you really are. An ADDiva who is tender, funny, spontaneous, lovable and loving.
Women from all over the world show up for these magical four hours. Does four hours sound like a long time? It goes by in a flash — we have conversation, some of our experts drop by to answer questions. We have some ADHD specific exercises. And we share ourselves. Without shame. Without apology.
Because we truly are a special bunch of people, we ADDivas of the world. Remember when Ned Hallowell said ADHD is a gift but it’s hard to unwrap? Well here is the place to unwrap it in all its glory.
Join me…and dozens of other ADHD women. For this year’s Palooza Pink Ticket Party.

A message from Linda Roggli
From One WOman to Another
Research shows that ADHD ‘impairs’ women more than it does men. My own ADDiva survey of more than 3000 ADHD women reveals that, despite trying multiple treatments, most women still struggle with their ADHD.
I knew early in my career as an ADHD coach that we women of ADHD need a place to absorb accurate information, to connect and to realize that We Are Not Alone.
That’s why I co-created the ADHD Women’s Palooza with Terry Matlen in 2016. Since then, thousands of women have joined us online to learn, laugh, be inspired and perhaps change their lives. So, welcome – we’re so thrilled you are here!
Linda
