You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re not going mad.

You’re a 40 something woman navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause and the lifelong wiring of ADHD—probably without ever being told how the two collide. Until now.

Why Am I Like This?! is the science-backed, laugh-through-the-tears guide you didn’t know you needed. Written by a yoga teacher, mindset coach and midlife woman with lived experience, this book gently unpacks what happens when declining oestrogen and a dopamine-deficient brain join forces - and why everything suddenly feels harder than it used to.

Inside, you’ll find:

- The missing link between ADHD and perimenopause
- Why the “simple” things feel impossible
- The shame spiral decoded, and how to get out of it
- Gentle, actionable strategies (no 5am miracle routines here)
- And the relief of finally understanding you’re not alone.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed recently, always suspected something was up, or just feel like you’re permanently treading water, this book will help you feel seen, supported, and a whole lot less feral.

Because your life isn’t falling apart.
You’re just starting to understand your brain.

I found this book when I really needed it and I'll keep it in my library when I have doubtful times. I feel as if the author was writing about me.
Thank you for a lifeline ❤️

Loved it Thank you I have cried, laughed out-loud and had many lightbulb moments the only audiobook I have ever finished x

I will always come back to this

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This broke down the layers of adhd and perimenopause and how they affect you and what that looks like. Perfectly relatable and helpful simple steps to take.

Logical and practical suggestions

The narrator’s voice is the most depressing part of it; it makes everything feel worse. The book itself isn’t very helpful either—there are no solutions or strategies.

Certainly not as an audiobook
