ADHD with Confidence

ADHD with Confidence is for women with ADHD who are late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed who are ready to stop wondering, "What's wrong with me?" and start understanding the incredible brain they've had all along.

Hosted by trained Life & ADHD Coach, Kelsey Spronk, who was diagnosed with ADHD herself, this podcast helps women with ADHD make sense of their experiences, build lasting confidence, and create a life that works with their brain—not against it.

If you've spent years masking, people-pleasing, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling with self-doubt, you're not alone. A late ADHD diagnosis can explain so much—but it's also just the beginning. Each episode offers practical ADHD strategies, compassionate coaching, and empowering conversations to help you move from surviving to thriving.

You'll learn how to:

  • Understand and work with your ADHD brain
  • Build confidence and trust yourself
  • Set healthy boundaries and let go of people-pleasing
  • Discover your strengths, purpose, and what helps you thrive

We'll discuss questions like:

  • What is ADHD?
  • Do I have ADHD?
  • What is ADHD masking?
  • What does ADHD look like in women?
  • How does ADHD affect my relationships?
  • Why do I feel overwhelmed all the time?
  • What are the signs and symptoms of ADHD in adults?
  • How do I overcome perfectionism in ADHD?
  • How can I feel better about myself as a woman with ADHD?
  • Can I be successful with ADHD?
  • Should I get an ADHD diagnosis?

Whether you were diagnosed in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, ADHD with Confidence is your reminder that you're not lazy, broken, or failing—you simply have a different brain. And when you understand it, everything starts to make more sense.

You're not too much, too scattered, or too late. You're exactly where you need to be.

Host Kelsey Spronk speaks with Dr. Garth Stewart about his personal ADHD journey and the neuroscience behind the condition.
Dr. Stewart explains how ADHD brains show excessive slow-wave activity, why outward hyperactivity often reflects internal under-arousal, and how stimulant medication and neurofeedback can change brainwave patterns.
The episode offers practical advice for parents and adults—activity-based supports, fidget tools, classroom strategies, and guidance on when to seek diagnosis and treatment—plus clear links between attention, memory, and everyday behavior.

Making mistakes doesn't mean you've failed. And it definitely doesn't make you a failure.
One of the best ways for us to learn and grow is through our mistakes or setbacks. As long as we are willing to embrace a growth mindset.

One of my biggest fears is to look back and regret the way I lived my life... regret the things I did or didn't say, the things I was too afraid to pursue.
I don't want this, for me or for you!
That's why it's so important to live intentionally with ADHD. Otherwise, we can get caught up with the "shiny new object" and get off course of who we actually want to become.
Join me in today's episode to discover how you can pave your path forward to living intentionally with ADHD.
