But when they're going through puberty and when they're going through perimenopause and they start hitting this dip, as well as when they hit the unpredictable hormone surges and their oestrogen is off, then that dopamine drops and it starts to really expose and amplify their ADHD traits.
So the one side where we're talking about if they've been successful at masking their ADHD is because...
Their estrogen is helping them produce more dopamine and manage their dopamine more effectively than perhaps an ADHD man until they hit a certain point in their life.
The other side of it, because there's lots of successful women, I think we know also that more entrepreneurs in the world are ADHD.
So those two things lie together, as well as some very incredible women in business and particularly in places like tech and so forth.
And I think it comes back to the point that we've been making throughout that sense of always wanting more, always wanting a different way to do things, always looking for that to be more efficient.
And I think for women especially, this is about the constant battle of the sexes.
Men, we've had it.
easy ride for so many millennia probably you know there are lots of you know tribes around the world that don't have that balance but in in western society we have that balance for so many years that men go to work and women stay at home and i think part of that is that inbuilt desire to prove themselves and to prove yourself you've got to be more than the male competitor in that situation so i think it's driven by that and that's why you can never if you if you if you have a line of enough you know it's like an athlete an athlete
never says that's the speed that's the 100 meters i want to run they want to go i want to get the fastest 100 meters i can and 9.8 wasn't fast enough i want to get 9.7 next time so it's always that recurring thing but i think it goes back to the point you can be enough while also still wanting more and that's part of our paradox
I think it amplifies it.
So I think, you know, from, again, personal experience and from a few people that I coach and from family members, yeah.
We always have, I think, in the back of our minds that grief because I always think, Mark, I should text him more.
He hates being called Mark, by the way.
He likes to be called Toby.
There is a reason for that.
It's because his surname is Toteman.
And he definitely won't watch it, but I hope he does.
But yeah, so there's always that grief, I think.
It's always sitting at the back of your mind.
