About this listen

An unprecedented guide for any woman with ADHD looking to celebrate her unique brilliance and to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

ADHD is one of the most common neurological disor­ders in the United States—yet a staggering 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed. Due to the gen­der gap in medical research, which does not account for symptoms manifesting differently in women—leading to increased problems with anxiety, depression, work­ing memory, sleep, energy, and concentration—many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts. But what if every woman had the resources and support to uncover the hidden wonders of her neurodivergent brain?

Enter certified ADHD coach and podcast host Tracy Otsuka. Armed with her experience coaching thou­sands of women, cutting-edge medical research, and personal insights from her own diagnosis, she presents a revelatory guide tailored specifically for girls and women with ADHD. In it, Otsuka offers an entirely new set of tools, systems, and strategies to access a world of boundless productivity, focus, and confidence.

With her signature wit and levity—in entertaining chapters designed for ADHD listeners—Otsuka explores the unique challenges that ADHD women face and illuminates the extraordinary qualities that set them apart: overflowing creativity, laser-focused attention, deep empathy, and fearless entrepreneurial spirit. Even without an official diagnosis, listeners will be equipped with the tools to conquer any to-do list and to tap into their true purpose, personally or professionally.

By dismantling the long-standing stereotypes and misinformation surrounding women with ADHD, Otsuka offers a beacon of hope for any woman looking to transform her symptoms into strengths. Comprehensive, lively, and long overdue, ADHD for Smart Ass Women is the key to unlocking unparalleled potential and to understanding your truly magnifi­cent and brilliant brain.

Very insightful

I had an idea that I may have ADHD and after listening to this I can confirm. It resonated with me on so many levels. It's just too bad that I didn't realize it until turning 59 years old.

A great guide for navigating ADHD

Diagnosed with adhd as an adult, I’ve found Tracy’s podcast to be so helpful and this book is no different. Lots of anecdotes to remind us we’re not alone or strange in this diagnosis as well as work arounds and tips to help make the most of our strengths and weaknesses.

Just Diagnosed with ADHD? This is for you!!

After being recently diagnosed later in life, Tracy’s insights were so insightful! After listening to her podcast for a few months, I preordered the audio book and it was worth the wait!
The whole time I listened, I was like “this is me—how does she know my life?!” lol So I then bought 2 hard copies of the book too—one for me to write in the margins and highlight my fav lines and one for me sister who was diagnosed as a kid but still has tons of questions.
Anyways, highly recommend!

Really well done

I understand so much more about myself and my kids now. I didn’t know what I didn’t know until I read this book. Highly recommend.

I feel overjoyed that I am not the only one struggling with the same situations mentioned in this book.

I like the small take-aways. I appreciate the sense of humor throughout the book and the acknowledgement that she is not a medical professional but has dedicated herself to informing others how to live with ADHD.

Finally!

In classic adhd fashion I keep writing and erasing trying to find the perfect words ha! I’ll just leave it at - not only is the book validating and inspiring for women, I think no matter your gender or age, this book is for literally everyone - and if they’ll do it - for close friends and family of someone trying to figure it all out. Thank you for writing this book Tracy Otsuka.

Relatable!

I love that Tracy was the one reading this, it didn't get stale as so many monotoned audiobooks can. She shares her story with late diagnosis and so many helpful tips to help with ADHD accompanied by important information that many don't know about ADHD.

I feel SEEN!!

This book was right on time for me. I have struggled with ADHD traits for years and finally pursued an official diagnosis because those struggles became too overwhelming for me to manage as I’ve gotten older. I’m 43 and am deep into a healing journey and this diagnosis has been the missing piece to me feeling truly whole.
This book explains so much as to why women are being diagnosed later in life and offers some realistic and truly actionable tips and strategies for honing this super power…in all areas of life! I’m super grateful for this offering and appreciate the author’s knowledge, experience, and voice (you can hear the emotion and passion in her voice) as she really made me feel like she was my own personal ADHD coach. I can’t wait to share with other women who may need it and with my friends and family so that we can all learn and work to create a more easeful existence for ourselves and the women and little girls in our lives.

Perfect for anyone with an ADHD female in your life!

I first discovered this book from a podcast. Tracy’s discussion hit home and I knew I needed the full book. I shared it with my sister who bought the audiobook as well. We presented differently as children so it was never on our radar until we found Tracy and her book. Since then, we’ve been taking her many tools to simplify life and to turn our ADHD brains into our strengths. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about ADHD in females.
