ADHD Beyond the Label – Episode 4 – Christine McGuiness

In Episode 4 of ADHD: Beyond the Label, Model and TV Personality Christine McGuinness opens up about her experience as a neurodiverse woman — and as a mum to three neurodiverse children. What starts as a conversation about motherhood quickly becomes a powerful insight into the pressures of navigating life undiagnosed, misunderstood, and constantly trying to “fit in.”

Christine shares how her children’s diagnoses were the catalyst for understanding her own brain, and how parenting through a neurodiverse lens changed everything she thought she knew — about herself, about the system, and about society’s expectations. She speaks candidly about struggling with social connection, feeling like no one truly understood her, and the weight of trying to appear “normal” for so long.

The episode also explores how public conversations around ADHD are shifting — not because the media willingly changed its stance, but because people are refusing to stay silent. Hosted by ADHD 360 CEO Dr Phil Anderton, this episode is a call for visibility, understanding, and empathy — especially for those who’ve spent years masking their true selves.
