—yet a staggering 75% of girls and women remain undiagnosed.
A lot of ADHD women think they’re broken because they live outside the status quo. They’re not trying to fit a square peg into a round hole… they’re asking, why the damn hole needs filling in the first place?!
I’m not here to make you like everyone else.
I’m here to teach you how to work with your brilliant brain, so you can do things your own way and live the life you were meant to live.
Most people have been led to believe that ADHD looks like a 9-year-old boy who can’t sit still.
But most people are wrong…
Due to the gender gap in medical research that perpetuates these myths, many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts.
Tracy Otsuka’s sparkling, smart-ass positivity pours over these pages, powerful enough to lift the lowest self-esteem.
"Otsuka adapts her podcast of the same name into an accessible debut guide aimed at helping women to harness their neurodivergent traits to achieve their goals... Delivered in lucid and unpretentious prose, this is a solid starting point for those just beginning to learn about ADHD and its effects on the brain."
"I am listening to your book and I am in awe of all the information you have gathered. You share it so clearly and it is so valuable. I am going to discuss with my psychiatrist about getting evaluated for ADHD because I truly feel my ocd, depression, social anxiety, rumination, hair pulling and skin picking are all based in ADHD."
"I got my ADHD diagnosis yesterday. Thanks to you this feels like a badge of honor rather than a "disorder". For the first time in a long time I feel like things can only get better from here. Thank you for doing what you do!!! Thank you for your book. It felt like "the plan" was just for me."
