Episode 49: ADHD, 'Adulting', Motherhood & Chaos with Stacey Heale

Writer and TedX Speaker Stacey Heale shares 'honest conversations on how to rebuild your life after hard times’… and we are so grateful to this legendary lady for her honesty and insights in this wonderful conversation. At 43, Stacey is freshly diagnosed with ADHD. The Mother of two, and jack of all trades is just as chaotic as we are! Part of our ADHDAF mission is to eradicate the shame around the symptoms and struggles we battle daily and to celebrate the messy ‘too-muchness’ and rebellion so many of us relate to. Which is why we ADORE this blether and this woman so much! We are no strangers to the shame of our ineptitude at 'adulting' adequately, and alongside experiencing this; Stacey gives us her perspective of Motherhood with the neurodevelopmental condition. How it feels when the chaos is no longer just your own, as it also affects your children.  ADHD Medication and self compassion post diagnosis has improved Stacey's life enormously.  THANK YOU SO MUCH STACEY, we can't wait to read your book! WE'RE SO EXCITED TO GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!

Episode 47: ADHD, Self Diagnosis & Dopamine Dressing with L.O.M.

SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID.  What's more, it is ESSENTIAL amidst the current ADHD Diagnosis crisis! Our guest Louise O'Mahony's experience is a perfect example of why.Berlin and Brighton based Fashion Designer Louise is yet to receive an ADHD diagnosis.  An admin error sent her to the back of a very long queue she thought she'd already been on for months!  Whilst awaiting assessment, Louise has found conversations with other ADHDers, online information and podcasts like ours invaluable in supporting herself through this period of diagnosis and treatment limbo. Our podcast was secretly listened to by Louise's boyfriend to gain insight into what she might be experiencing to support her... THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR HOW MUCH WE LOVE THAT! Louise is literally QUEEN of Dopamine Dressing! You'd be hard pushed to find a festival field without many fashionistas frolicking in her famous L.O.M. designs! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US LOUISE! We hope to blether with this legendary lady again post diagnosis. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!

Episode 46: Celebrating Neurodiversity with Priyanka Patel

It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week and we have got the perfect blether for the occasion! The wonderful Priyanka Patel AKA @littlemiss_adhd_  hops aboard the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster with us and alongside sharing her experience she also highlights how following our passions leads ADHDers to thrive. Her positivity is inspiring and this chinwag has helped reframe Laura’s perception of her achievements. ‘Quite often the focus is on the challenges rather than the many strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, ever neurodivergent individual has a unique pattern of strengths and challenges. It is important to harness the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, this helps to build confidence and self-esteem, and ensures individuals are given the opportunity to flourish in their day-to-day’ - @neurodiversityweek THANK YOU SO MUCH PRIYANKA, YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

Episode 42 : The Anti-Valentine's Day Special

With ep. 42's release date falling on Valentine's Day,  we decided to explore the date dedicated to romantic love through an ADHD lens, from our own perspectives, and share findings from far more reputable resources.  Valentine's Day ain't all roses, is it?! Whether you're single or attached; marrying societal pressures and ADHD can make for one hell of a toxic relationship!  Speaking of which, if you haven't already heard our deep dive into ADHD and 'Romantic' Relationships, have a listen to Episode 8. In this blether we explore the growth that ADHD identification has brought. Our Dawny is no longer desperate to be liked on dates, and instead what matters is if she likes them! Similarly, Laura laments on previous performative behaviour... far more hopeless than romantic! We talk a bit about sex, and it's so cringe I'm still wondering if we should cut that bit out! LOLS ...but we've purposely left the bit about Lily Allen's 'Womanizer' toy in, in the hope she might send us a couple! ;)In all seriousness, Valentine's Day can be triggering, and statistics show that this day can hurt so many.  We are so grateful for the brave and wise words of legends like Clementine Ford & Florence Given. We only wish we'd heard them sooner! But thank goodness, the time's they are a-changin'... We've learnt the hard way that the most important relationship in life is the one you have with yourself, but self love isn't easy, and ADHD can make it even harder. If you are struggling to show yourself love, know that we are sending you all of ours! xx If you've found this podcast helpful & are in a position to do so, please help us continue to help others by joining our Community.
