ADHD for Smart Ass Women with Tracy Otsuka

Tracy Otsuka is a lawyer turned certified ADHD coach, and she brings that analytical sharpness to every episode of this massively popular podcast. With nearly 7 million downloads, over 150,000 monthly listeners, and a presence in 160-plus countries, this is one of the biggest ADHD shows in the world. The numbers alone tell you she's doing something right. The show specifically targets high-ability women with ADHD -- diagnosed or suspecting -- and flips the usual deficit narrative on its head. Instead of focusing on what's wrong with your brain, Tracy highlights what's brilliant about it. That strengths-based approach resonated so deeply with her audience that she's built an entire community and coaching program around it. Episodes are weekly and range from 20 minutes to over 90 minutes, with most landing around 45 to 75 minutes. Tracy mixes solo deep-dives into specific ADHD topics with interviews featuring women who are thriving professionally and creatively despite (or because of) their ADHD. Her conversational style is direct and confident, with a no-nonsense energy that matches the podcast's name. The 4.8-star rating from over 1,500 reviews is exceptional, and the feedback consistently emphasizes how seen and understood listeners feel. If you're a woman who's spent years wondering why you're smart but still struggling, or if you recently got diagnosed and need someone to tell you it's not a character flaw, Tracy's podcast might be the thing that finally clicks for you.
