In this episode of ADHD Beyond the Label, Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds are joined by entrepreneur and architect Martina Tararuj, who shares her powerful journey from late ADHD diagnosis to leading a global community of over 850 female CEOs.

Diagnosed as an adult, Martina reflects on growing up in a time when ADHD in girls was largely misunderstood or overlooked. Despite academic success and professional achievement, she often felt different, driven by creativity, intuition, and deep focus on subjects she loved, while struggling with motivation in others.

Now working with hundreds of high-achieving women, Martina reveals a striking insight: many female leaders share similar ADHD traits, creativity, flexibility, resilience, and the ability to think differently, yet still battle perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt.Together, the conversation explores the hidden strengths of ADHD in leadership, the dangers of perfectionism, and the importance of creating safe spaces where women can be authentic, imperfect, and empowered to fail fast and learn faster.

This episode offers inspiration not only for women navigating ADHD, but for the next generation of girls growing up in a world that is finally beginning to understand neurodiversity and the extraordinary potential that comes with thinking differently.
