Chapter 17. Redefining ADHD Support for Women...The Story Behind Kindly Neuro

What if ADHD care truly honored the lived experiences of neurodivergent women? In this transformative episode, Jourdan Saunders talks to Lauren Gaunt, occupational therapist, and Ankita Wheeler, speech-language pathologist—co-founders of Kindly Neuro, a neurodiversity-affirming practice revolutionizing ADHD support. After navigating their own late diagnoses, Lauren and Ankita set out to create the compassionate, functional, and goal-oriented support they wished they had. From breaking down stigma to reimagining therapy through real-world tools and lived experience, they share how Kindly Neuro is helping high-achieving women feel seen, supported, and empowered.

If you’re a:

✔️ Neurodivergent woman navigating ADHD, identity shifts, or burnout

✔️ Caregiver or loved one of someone with ADHD

✔️ Therapist or educator wanting to practice through a neurodiversity-affirming lens ✔️ Professional seeking resources to support ADHD colleagues at work …

then this conversation is for you. ❤️
