Never Fully Fitting In. Overcompensating, Internalising and Feeling Exhausted With Bridget Hustwaite

Most late aged diagnosed ADHD folks have a bit of a moment where all of a sudden the final puzzle piece is put in place and there’s the ‘lightbulb’ revelation of what has been going on all along. It might be from seeing a video on instagram or tiktok of a list of ADHD symptoms and realising that it was a list of your ‘personality traits’. People have asked me when I first had a bit of insight into potentially having ADHD, and the truth is that I can’t really remember. I don’t know whether this was because I kind of always had the feeling that it was…

Attention and ADHD. Why None Of Us Can Pay Attention with Johann Hari
Attention seems to be something that not only us neurodiverse folk struggle with these days. I’ve personally struggled a bit with the whole ‘deficit’ part of the label of ADHD because it doesn’t really seem to be the most appropriate description. For me, ‘unable to control where my attention is focussed’ seems to be more in line but it doesn’t have a ring to it. Today’s guest is the wonderful best selling author of ‘Stolen Focus. Why You Can’t Pay Attention’ Johann Hari. Johann went on a long journey to figure out why all of…

Small Talk & Overwhelm: Is Dating Different When You Have ADHD? With Logan Ury
How do you go with small talk, keeping the conversation going and not feeling overwhelmed by matches and messages? Do you ever wonder how the people you’re matching with perceive you? I felt all of the above. I hated small talk and found it incredibly boring, I was constantly overwhelmed by the expectation to reply if I hadn’t checked my messages in a little while and I was always worried that I would appear ‘too intense’ to the people I had matched with and I tried to tone myself down so that they wouldn’t be scared off. Hinge recently conducted some research…

Feeling Overwhelmed & Burnt Out? It’s Time To Talk About Regulation & ADHD with Jenna Free
ADHD and feeling overwhelmed, over stimulated and burnout seem to go hand in hand. A lot of us operate under the ‘go, go, go’ type of cadence with our two modes being full throttle or absolutely nothing. This inevitably leaves a lot of us feeling as though we can never get it together, we’re mentally exhausted all of the time and as though everyone around us is sick of our franticness. Joining the podcast today is certified ADHD therapist, who also has ADHD Jenna Free. Jenna refers to the frantic behaviours mentioned above as dysregulation. Jenna taught me a whole new way…

Feel Like You’re Too Much? ADHD, Intense Emotions and Validation. CLOUD With Sabrina Zohar
One of the things that surprised me the most when I learnt more about ADHD was that we tend to all be people with big feelings. I had always thought that I just ‘felt’ things really deeply and that was just the way it was, but it turns out it isn’t a unique experience at all. Whether it’s a result of constantly being told we are ‘too much’ I’m not sure; but what I am sure about is that consistently being told I was too much left me with a pretty insatiable need for validation. Again, I don’t seem to be alone in that either… Joining the…

Joining the pod again today is the wonderful Dr Kieran Kennedy! Kieran previously joined us for an episode about late age diagnosis, how that seems to shift your sense of identity, and the crossover of ADHD and conditions like anxiety and depression. Dr Kieran Kennedy is a psychiatrist who…

You might have noticed that there seems to be a lot of women who, just like me, are being diagnosed with ADHD in their late 20s, 30s and 40s. Today we wanted to have a chat about late age diagnosis and how that can make you question a lot about your past experiences.

Mark Manson - ADHD, Novelty & Work. Why Traditional Productivity Hacks Won’t Help.
For a lot of us with ADHD brains, the idea of working a 9-5 job with stable productivity seems like an unimaginable concept. The ways that we thrive in our careers or our work lives seem to be a little bit left of centre when compared to others. When it comes to structure, goals and productivity, is it best that we listen to the ‘expert’ advice, or do we need to go about it in completely different ways? Mark Manson is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck* and Everything is F cked: A Book About Hope with 20 million books sold in over 65…
