Angry On The Inside - ADHD Women Talking Late Diagnosis
Angry on the Inside is a podcast for women with late-diagnosed ADHD, hosted by Jessica from AlternativePath Coaching and Jeannine from Everyday Greatness Coaching. So many of us have spent our lives feeling broken, fighting against an invisible current, or wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so much harder for us. Here, you don’t have to push that anger away. We give it space, we honor it, and we remind you that you’re not alone. Because when we share our stories, process our emotions, and find community, that anger can become a path to self-acceptance, healing, and even laughter. Join us for real talk, deep dives, and the tools to navigate life on your own terms.

There’s a kind of cost that doesn’t show up all at once.
It’s not one big purchase or one obvious mistake.
It’s the subscriptions you meant to cancel. The return you fully intended to make. The groceries you bought with a plan… and didn’t use. The late fees, the duplicate purchases, the “it’s only $4.99” decisions that quietly stack up over time.
People call it the ADHD tax.
In this episode, Jess and Jeannine talk about what that a...

In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine talk about ADHD ghosting the accidental kind where you never meant to disappear, but somehow the reply never happened.

Body doubling isn’t supervision. It’s not someone doing the task ...
What’s actually happening when an elite athlete locks in at the top of a run?
In this bonus episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine look at the 2026 Winter Olympics through an ADHD lens not to inspire, but to recognize what’s really happening on the ice and in the air.

Why do so many late-diagnosed ADHD women look back at their relationship history and think, “Why does this feel like the same guy in a different body?”

The idea that ADHD women have unlimited capacity doesn’t usually feel like a goal it feels like an assumption. One that quietly shapes how long we push, how much we tolerate, and how often we abandon ourselves before we stop.
In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine unpack the difference between “good enough” and “fuck it” two states that often get confused but come from very different places. One is a conscious c...

This conversation unpacks how ADHD impacts the nervous system around money, including time blindness, urgency, impulsivity, avoidance, and the emo...

But for many ADHD women especially those diagnosed later in life it often feels disappointing, exhausting, or quietly heavy instead.

In this episode, Jess and Jeannine break down the real ADHD holiday arc: overstimulation, disappearing routines, perfectionism pressure, emotional labor, family trig...
Gratitude season hits different when you have ADHD. While the world is shouting “just be thankful,” most of us are stuck juggling overwhelm, rumination, perfectionism, emotional intensity, and a brain that cannot seem to slow down long enough to notice the good stuff.
