You’re Not Broken: Maybe It’s Just A.D.H.D.

For Adult Women Who’ve Always Felt Out of Place. Now, There’s an Explanation

By: Claire Thompson-Reed

Narrated by: Sophie Bennett-Clark, Daniel Morgan-Lee

Do you constantly feel overwhelmed, even when nothing major is happening?
Do you jump between moments of brilliance and total shutdown?
Do you feel like you’re performing a version of yourself every day?
Do you struggle with shame, guilt, or a sense of never being “enough”?
Have you always sensed something was different about you—but no one ever noticed?

If you answered yes, this book is for you.

Inside, you'll find 10 powerful stories—each one a mirror for adult women who’ve lived with undiagnosed A.D.H.D.

Each chapter starts with a real, emotional experience and gently guides you toward a new understanding of yourself.

This is not a clinical explanation. It’s a human one.

You won’t find textbook definitions, but you will find yourself—in the audio, the feelings, the breakthroughs.

Understand what A.D.H.D. looks like in adult women
Learn to recognize the patterns behind your struggles
Release years of self-judgment and perfectionism
Finally feel seen, validated, and understood

The final chapter offers a super practical, compassionate guide to daily challenges—based on real life, not unrealistic goals:

How to manage emotional overwhelm
How to reduce shame and change your self-talk
How to build routines that fit your brain
How to avoid burnout and stop people-pleasing
How to create structure with flexibility and self-respect
When to ask for help, and how to explain what you need

Whether you have a diagnosis or are just starting to suspect the truth, this book gives you more than answers: it gives you permission.

Permission to stop blaming yourself.
Permission to live on your terms.
Permission to begin again—with softness, clarity, and strength.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not broken.

You’re just different—and now, you know why.

And that changes everything.

A Hug You Can Hear

It’s hard to describe how much this audiobook helped me. It’s not just informative—it’s deeply human. As I listened, it felt like receiving a warm, compassionate hug from someone who truly gets it. I felt seen, accepted, and validated. No judgment, just truth told with softness. I recommend this to every woman who’s ever felt “too much” or “not enough.” This book walks beside you like a gentle voice holding your hand.

The Turning Point I Didn’t Know I Needed

After years of wondering what was “wrong” with me, this audiobook came into my life like a turning point. I’ve done therapy, taken personal development courses, read all the books—but nothing ever truly made me feel seen. This did. I cried with relief, with sadness for all the time I wasted blaming myself, and with gratitude for finally understanding that I’m not lazy or broken. I just function differently—and now I respect that.

Perfect for Women Who Don’t Relate to Clinical Boo

I’ve read a lot about ADHD, especially since I started suspecting it might apply to me. But no book ever truly hit home—until this one. It’s not a lecture, it’s an emotional journey. It doesn’t just explain what ADHD is, it shows you what it feels like to live with it, day after day. I couldn’t stop listening, and I finished with a lighter heart and a clearer mind. This is the only one I recommend to people who want more than definitions—they want connection.

Finally Found the Words to Explain Myself

After listening to this audiobook, I was finally able to talk openly with my husband about what I go through. I even played him some of the chapters. We cried together. Years of misunderstanding began to melt away in just a few hours. Now he gets why I shut down sometimes, why I forget things, why I get so overwhelmed. This book didn’t just help me understand myself—it helped me be understood. That’s priceless.

This Audiobook Changed My Life

I don’t say that lightly—it really did. For the first time, I saw my lifelong struggles not as failures, but as survival strategies. This book helped me rewrite the story I tell myself every day. I finally stopped fighting who I am and started embracing it. It gave me the strength to begin again, with softness and self-respect. Every woman who’s ever felt “too much” or “not enough” should listen to this. At least once.
