For the penultimate interview of Season 3, I'm ecstatic to be joined by Meghann Birks. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Meghann on her amazing Podcast: Sisters in Stoke & she previously featured on 2 mini episodes: ADHD Unmasking Hack & People Pleasing Hack; in this episode there are many sidequests;hence the length but Meghann's pearls are too precious to cut!

'Meghann Birks is a personal and executive coach supporting people with ADHD, autism and AuDHD.She is also a movement coach and embodiment educator who uses a variety of modalities to help people make the hard stuff easier and the good stuff 'f*cking rad'.She works from a trauma informed and neuro-affirming perspective with clients all over the world to give them quick and nasty tools to deal with the challenges of being 'neurospicy' & leverage their unique skillset, especially in the area of leadership development and workplace management.She is way too much for some people (and doesn't give a toss),loves lifting heavy things,punk music hiking,the ocean and whatever her current hyperfixation is.

TW: Contains swearing and triggering topics including: an ableist remark made to highlight her previous ignorance and how damaging stereotypes are! Also mentions of eating disorders, alcohol & substance misuse, relationship struggles, family struggles, work problems, mental health crisis, self loathing, depression, anxiety, suicide
