Dr Lara Goode opens up about her recent realisation and diagnosis about of what her psychologist called "severe combined type ADHD" at 35. Lara runs her own allied health clinic, is a Mum of two boys and she’s only now meeting herself for the first time - at 35. 

In this episode, Lara and I unpack what a late ADHD diagnosis actually feels like: the relief, the rage, and the question she now asks herself every day - is this actual Lara, or performing Lara?

We talk about:
Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and grieving the years it was missed
Good girl conditioning, people pleasing and having no boundaries
Masking, mirroring and being a chameleon in relationships
Why anger in women is treated as “unbecoming”, and why our mid-thirties is when the rage shows up
Burnout, high standards and genuinely believing in bandwidth you don’t have
Postnatal anxiety and the undoing that motherhood brings
What Lara would say to her younger self

Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, if you’ve ever felt like you’ve spent your life performing a version of yourself, this one is for you.

The "Good Girl Undoing" with Dr Lara Goode 

What makes a Miserable Mum? Is it linked to life satisfaction? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, carrying the mental load, or struggling to enjoy family life, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Almost Forty, Kylie is joined by Alison from Our Neurodiverse Family for an honest conversation about the recent social media trend surrounding "Things we do because we refuse to be Miserable Mum's". This conversation is all about motherhood, parenting, family systems, resentment, unrealistic expectations and the hidden factors that contribute to mum burnout.

Together they explore why so many women feel exhausted by the pressure of being a “good mum” and why the answer isn’t necessarily becoming a better parent - it’s identifying what actually matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and redesigning the systems that are creating friction in everyday family life.

Topics discussed include:

• The mental load of motherhood

• Family dinners and parenting expectations

• Mum guilt and resentment

• Family systems that reduce overwhelm

• Neurodivergent families and practical supports

• Teaching kids independence and life skills

• Fend For Yourself Dinner (FFYD)

• Letting go of perfectionism

• Finding more joy and life satisfaction as a parent

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, parenting neurodivergent children, feeling overwhelmed by family responsibilities, or simply looking for practical ways to make family life feel easier, this episode is packed with relatable stories, permission slips and actionable ideas.

Burnout, over-functioning and hypervigilance
Financial goals and taking responsibility for the things that matter
