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.

Who’s the most important person at your job (besides you, of course). It’s your ADHD ally! An ally notices some of your rough spots and steps in to help smooth them out, according to ADHD coach Stacey Machelle. It’s someone on your team who picks up those pesky details so you can shine with your big ideas and excellent delivery. Join us for a light-hearted session that delves into choosing (or finding) an ADHD ally and the gratitude you owe them for having your back!
About Stacey Machelle
My name is Stacey Machelle. I am a black woman with ADHD. I create content on YouTube that focuses on empowering, educating, and entertaining those seeking help with undiagnosed or unmanaged ADHD. I’m here to remind women and girls like me that they are not alone If it weren’t for COVID-19 I’d still be working three side-hustles, racing around, running late, and too overwhelmed to think about how I can be of service to people who have my struggle. The upside of being out of work due is COVID-19 is that I have the headspace and time to invest in the creation of ADHD is the new BLACK. But, I do need to pay these bills.
I was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder at age 26. I didn’t take my diagnosis seriously and I continued to live life-forgetting, FORGETTING that I’d received a diagnosis. However, ADHD didn’t forget about me. It ran my life like an evil marionette every day for 20 years. I white-knuckled my way through my 20s and 30s-and my next 30s. “Fake it til you make it” was my M.O. I couldn’t keep the friends that I struggled to make and I couldn’t manage money, create a budget or make sound, critical decisions because I was too impulsive. I was always moving on to the next thing before the previous thing was complete.
Life was lived hard-always underpaid, saying “yes” to everything, and not following through on anything. I bounced checks like LaBron bounces on the court and it baffled my parents that I was the only one of their children, it seemed who couldn’t figure out how to take care of myself.
.
I’ve been given much grace by God and I’ve had help when I needed it, but I was always falling short of my potential because I couldn’t figure out what was “wrong” with me.
EVERTHING changed two years ago. I finally remembered my diagnosis. I accepted it, mourned for those “lost” years got on with getting myself treated.
Because I’ve spent equal halves of my life on both sides of ADHD treatment-I know what a difference treatment makes. And I also know that as far as black women and WOC with ADHD, Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to treatment . My work now is to reflect someone black and brown women can identify as themselves. Someone who looks like them going through the same, unspoken struggles. ADHD IS our strength when it’s acknowledged and treated and that’s why I make videos to encourage other women to face and embrace their diagnosis.
Having said that It takes approximately 90 hours to complete just one video. I’ve been making one every 12 days as of late. That is a full-time job for which I don’t receive compensation in any form. I ask that you demonstrate how much my work means to you by becoming a patron- a monthly supporter of my work. The job market will open again someday in 2021 and it is imperative that I’m able to continue the growth of ADHD is the new BLACK to reach more sisters who need this type of information.

Alma Galvan
Read Session Description & Speaker Bio
About Alma Galvan
In 1996, both of Alma’s children were diagnosed with severe autism, ADHD, Sensory Disorder, and more. One doctor even told her to put her oldest son in an institution and move on with her life. That’s where her journey began… It took her 7 years to discover some powerful new techniques that were scientifically proven to promote brain development. They literally changed her life! When she started using these techniques, her children’s challenges improved more in just a few months than in all the 7 years combined! In fact, the changes were so dramatic that other parents noticed and started asking her to work with their children. That’s how BrainWorx was born. For the past 20 years she has worked with thousands of families to help their children overcome anxiety, overwhelm, distractibility, foggy thinking, procrastination and much more. What she has found was that movement changes the brain, which allows us to have more functions, and having more functions allows us to have greater ease in life.

I am SO grateful to all our 2025 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 split into breakout rooms for small group interaction. 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 1,500 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
