Writing Books with Late-Diagnosed ADHD: The Non-Conventional Way!

Writing highly acclaimed books for a living is no mean feat, but when you drop ADHD into the mix, it's something even more impressive.

On today's episode, I talk to Kate Spencer, the best-selling author of In a New York Minute, The Dead Moms Club and her recently released novel, One Last Summer. We discuss the specific challenges ADHD provides when being an author and specifically discuss the notion of internal pressure, self-esteem, procrastination and judging our own productivity.

Kate's work has been published by The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Esquire, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Buzzfeed, and numerous other places. Previously, she was a senior editor and producer at VH1 and co-host of the popular podcast, Forever35. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters.

On this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Kate discuss:

• Switching between tasks and adjusting to ADHD
• Managing your internal pressure and workload
• Being creative and writing with ADHD
• Finding your unique methods of productivity
• Realising your high expectations of yourself
• Normalising ADHD procrastination
• Journeying with ADHD medication
