Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy here : programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup * I have NEVER met an ADHD woman who wasn’t truly brilliant at something! This podcast, with nearly 7 million downloads, is for smart, high-ability ADD/ADHD (diagnosed or suspecting) women who see their symptoms as more positive than negative. If you want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and discover where your brilliance lies, this podcast is for you!** ADHD for Smart Ass Women is globally ranked in the top one-tenth of one percent of all podcasts in the world on any subject. It’s streamed in more than 160 countries and is downloaded by more than 150,000 listeners every month. My book of the same name, published by HarperCollins/William Morrow, was recently honored by Amazon Editors as a Top 20 Best Nonfiction Book of 2024.** I’m Tracy Otsuka, your host. I’m a lawyer, not a doctor, a lifelong learner, and a certified ADHD coach. I’m on a mission to change the conversation around ADHD because I believe it’s time to focus on the strengths that come with our unique brains. When I was diagnosed eight months after my son, my entire life finally made sense, yet all I read and heard about ADHD focused on what I should struggle with. What I discovered, though, was that my ADHD was responsible for some of my greatest strengths.** Another thing we constantly hear is all the success stories about ADHD men, but no one talks about the women. This podcast is here to change that. ADHD women are my people, and I’m here to acknowledge, support, and cheer them on. My experience as an adult living with ADHD, along with my expertise, is regularly sought out by top-tier media, including Bloomberg, Forbes, CBS Mornings, ABC News Live, Inc., Prevention Magazine, Verywell Mind, ADDitude magazine, and The Goal Digger Podcast, etc.**adhdforsmartwomen.com **The content in this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and does not constitute medical or professional advice.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast has made me feel so seen and understood for my uniquenesses. It has phenomenal guests, guidance, and resources. I’ve recommended it to every person and practitioner who deals with ADHD women and girls. BUT, the audio of the recent episodes has declined. The wet mouth noises make it impossible to listen to. It’s deeply disturbing having earbuds in and hearing the noise of someone’s mouth in my ear. Like omg Please get mic covers and better microphones. I hate missing episodes.

NYCSettler · Aug 2026

I’m newly diagnosed with ADHD and was thrilled to find this podcast. I listened to a few episodes that really resonated with me and was hoping this podcast would be a safe space. However, I was really disappointed by the way Tracy talked about bodies during the GLP-1 episode and had to stop listening. The assumption that people lose weight and automatically feel better about themselves is a fatphobic, disgusting assumption in the year 2026. Do better, Tracy.

High Forest Enclave · Aug 2026

I should have written this review long ago, but Tracy’s book and podcast changed the way I think about, and approach my ADHD. Thank you for all you do to empower us.

Cathjsmart · Jul 2026

A solid resource for women looking for strategies they can implement, as well as inspiration for what’s possible.
