Episode 43: ADHD, Fatherhood & Self Care with Jacob Kelly
ADHDAF
Excitement, Editing, and Funny Anecdotes
In this chapter, the hosts express their excitement about an upcoming event, discuss the editing process for an interview, and share a funny anecdote from their discord community.
You'll likely know Bristol's finest as @adhdfatheruk. The self proclaimed 'old hag of the ADHD online community', was diagnosed 20 years ago. Jacob created his platform to highlight, educate and inspire people about ADHD, as well as spotlighting positive ADHD figures and the power of ADHD representation.
Jacob very kindly invited us on an Insta LIVE interview back in December and we hit it off right away. We LOVE talking to this legend; so much so that we were recording this for over two hours and we could've blethered on longer!
Despite not being a newbie to the ADHD Diagnosis Rollercoaster, Jacob didn't start learning about ADHD and connecting with other ADHDers for many years. It's this, and prioritising self care that has taken him from surviving to thriving! We are taking his advice and hope you do too.
We're so grateful to Jacob for reaching out to us, and for volunteering his voice on the Podcast... and are SO EXCITED to have him join us for our Bristol Tour Date! Grab yourself a ticket HERE and tickets for our other dates HERE.
The working title of this episode was 'Jacob and his coat of many Adeles' in reference to his unique self care rituals. LOLS! We hope you enjoy this blether as much as we did and make moments of joy your priority! THANK YOU SO MUCH JACOB!
