For ADHD women, hormones influence attention, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivity, and executive functioning. These shifts are biological, not imagined.

Flourish makes them predictable and shame-free.

Why Hormones Matter

Estrogen increases dopamine, serotonin, mood stability, and focus.
Progesterone reduces dopamine, increases anxiety, emotional reactivity, and fatigue.

This creates shifts across the cycle.

What This Looks Like

More overwhelm before your period.
Higher RSD mid-cycle.
More fog, confusion, or fatigue.
More impulsivity when estrogen peaks.
More anxiety when progesterone is high.

These patterns make sense.

What Helps

1. Identify high-estrogen and high-progesterone days

Predictability reduces shame.

2. Plan based on capacity

Low-support days need structure and lower expectations.

3. Use body awareness

“What phase am I in?”
“What support do I need right now?”
