Thank you to Amelia Kelley, the publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book!

This title focuses on women with ADHD and how best to view this as a superpower rather than a hindrance. As someone who struggles with ADHD and the problems that come with that, I felt incredibly seen throughout the workbook. The exercises and tips were eye-opening and will definitely be employed in my everyday activities.

The short chapters, which were broken into even smaller sections, made the pacing excellent and easy to consume. I can't help but think that considering the audience, this was purposeful. It also makes it handy to be able to flip back to sections at any time for a quick reference. Although self-help and nonfiction books aren't my usual choice, I found this workbook right up my alley. This was incredibly helpful and I will be using this as a guide in the future.

Thank you Zeitgeist and NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is a perfect fit for women who struggle to find balance in their life due to ADHD. It is full of great explanations and tips for various situations divided by chapters. You can also find here exercises which will help you to use your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Personally, I found this book as an easy read and engaging. Because it has short chapters and paragraphs to keep your attention focused on the text.

This book really opened my eyes to ADHD and how it has not only impacted the world, but also how it has impacted my world personally. I felt seen while reading this book. So much makes sense.

I really appreciated the Strategies and Exercises this book provided and will be putting them to use. This was a quick read, but it will be one I read again and again. I highly recommend this read for any one with ADHD, those in relationship with someone who has ADHD, and even those that may not yet have a diagnosis. Knowledge is power!

THANK YOU for this!!

Thank You to NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. This is my voluntary opinion of Powered by ADHD.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. There were great tips, tricks and advice in this book.

I’ve read a lot of books on ADHD and most have something to offer… I did appreciate how this book gave concrete ways for people with ADHD to use it to their benefit, almost like a superpower. I also liked how it was broken down into categories- like here is how adhd impacts you at home, at work, etc. It was easy to read and made for people with ADHD- written in short bursts and bullet lists. This is one I’d definitely recommend to those who are trying to understand their adhd or that of a family member. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc.

This was an interesting read. Full of good information and suggestions. Felt a bit tough to get through in times, but it’s a great read

I personally have not been diagnosed but have gotten huge help from some ADHD books for a life where I've always struggled to get things done. Unfortunately this was not one of them -- most of the tips either weren't new to me or seemed like they were too complicated, or even if the idea was not actually complicated, the way it was worded made it seem much more complicated and unclear. And sometimes the author was just a little off in describing as well -- for example- in the Home section, she describes a "Doom box" as a place to keep track of important items -- but a Doom box is actually where you stashed everything when you were cleaning (maybe in a hurry because someone was coming over) and never got back to after. It is where important things get lost forever not where you purposely store important items. The only good thing I have to say about this book is that it is a fast and easy read and might give someone ideas to google that will be much better fleshed out elsewhere.

This book really taught me a lot more about my own ADHD. I didn't realize that a lot of what I struggle with is perfectly normal to struggle with and that I'm not alone in said struggle. It's a great beginners guide to ADHD and I think it could have a lot of potential.

Finally a book about ADHD specifically for women. Instead of outlining each of the "problems" that accompany having ADHD, she's turned them into positives. Having been diagnosed with ADD in my 30s, I did have some prior knowledge but this book had some new information. I also really liked the tips and tricks that she integrated into each chapter. They are real-life, easy-to-adopt techniques to make the most of each trait, which I really liked. I'll be recommending this to some of my girlfriends as well.

As a woman and special educator who was diagnosed with ADHD in her early 30s, I already had a pretty good grasp on the diagnosis and its various presentations. Nevertheless, i learned some new information and really enjoyed the interactive questions throughout this book.

Unlike so many books about ADHD, this book was super helpful. It was easy to use and didn't leave me more confused than when I started. It's a book I will return to as I begin explore my own diagnosis.

There were so many great tips and I definitely bookmarked a lot. I'm going to implement a lot of these into our family. ADHD is different in everyone and some I think mask it and it's exhausting. So many helpful tips for all of the frustrating and overwhelming parts of adulting with a partner and mini-mes. Some day I'll get them to really help me but I'm so bad at asking for help.

Joining a new surge of books about ADHD in women, Dr. Amelia Kelley pulls back the curtain about ADHD and how it manifests differently in women. While explaining the science behind the disorder, Dr. Kelley also provides tools and tips for navigating every day life with your neurodivergent brain. Helpful, wonderful, and a quick read for those who can't sit still for long.

I did not know that shame is a big aspect to what hinders people with ADHD. It makes sense though, and is explained well in this book, "Powered By ADHD." Amelia Kelley, author, says that a child with ADHd may receive 20,000 corrective statements (directed to them) before they are 10. That is a lot to put onto a person who cannot control how their brain is functioning.
ADHD masking is also explained in this book. I'm glad to find out about this because I feel it will help me be more compassionate to people I know with ADHD.
Overall, this book is a positive approach to living with ADHD. How you can use your strengths like hyper focus, energy, and creativity to reach goals and make a satisfying life--handling any daily challenges you may have.
Chapters include pointed questions so you can gain personal insight, and many practical suggestions in real life categories, such as: chores, work, relationships, parenting.
I would recommend this to friends with ADHD, or anyone who wants to understand it more and support someone.

I received this book free from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion/review.

I really liked this validating and reassuring read. I loved the thought provoking questions and exercises. It delivers as a complete package and would be a great resource to keep as a reference for your tool box.

This book does a great job explaining how differently ADHD symptoms manifest in women compared to men. I believe that even people who do not have ADHD could benefit from learning and applying the strategies covered in this book. I work as a therapist on an inpatient behavioral health unit, and I will most definitely be using this book as a resource when working with patients in the future!

I do not regularly read non-fiction books, but as a woman in my 40s who was later diagnosed with ADHD, I found this book validating and incredibly accurate. The workbook style learning was incredibly helpful, and I was able to apply in real time the concepts I was learning. Additionally, I have an entire household of neurodivergent people, and everyone presents their symptoms very differently. This enabled me to have the info at my fingertips to think about their struggles and successes differently as well. The book was definitely written to be digested by an ADHD brain in layout, format, and engagement activities. I highly recommend this self-reflection activity for all moms and women who are ADHD or suspect that they might be ADHD.

I found the book to be helpful. It resonated with me in ways I hadn't expected and provided good advice for living with ADHD. The language was accessible and the messaging was easy to follow. This had more of a workbook format than I expected, but I think the various activities,
could be very useful for myself, and readers in general.

My main critique would be that it felt repetitive at times. That's partly because it was referencing other parts of the book, though not always. I also feel the many links in the ebook could prove to be a pretty substantial distraction if someone felt the impulse to click them all as they came along.

As a woman who was diagnosed with ADHD well into my adulthood, I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate that the focus is on its strengths instead of just focusing on its challenges of living with ADHD! I read it very slowly so I could really absorb the information.

I think this is a good book if it's the first ADHD-related book someone is picking up as a guide because they suspect they have ADHD or they have recently been diagnosed. I like how it's short with key takeaways. As someone with ADHD, I didn't struggle to find the point of any of the chapters.

I personally enjoyed the chapters on work and home the most. I admit that I skipped most of the chapter on parenting as I am not a parent. I also liked the acronyms explained throughout the book such as HALT and OHIO.

I did not care for the bits about successful/famous people who have ADHD. It read like an add-on to make the subject matter more... relatable?... but I wouldn't pick this book up just because. It is already relatable.

I especially would like to point out that as someone who lives in the United States, the suggestion to download and use a period tracker is ill-advised. I would never do that and encourage others to delete them if they have them. Use good ol' paper and pen, for your own safety. Please.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.
