ADHD in Men vs. Women: "It Sounds Like a Way Worse Deal!"

Best friends and podcast hosts Kat and Jack bring their signature
honesty and humour to a candid conversation about ADHD. Jack,
founder of Beautiful Strangers—the creative team behind hit
podcasts NewlyWeds and The Girls Bathroom, joins
Kat to share what they’ve learned in the year since launching
their ADHD podcast, Distracted.


In this chat with Ben, they dive into their biggest bugbears with
the ADHD community, the reality of private vs. NHS diagnosis, and
the fine line between distraction and procrastination. They also
explore an often-overlooked topic: how ADHD sensitivity manifests
differently in men and women—and why that matters
