ADHD Untangled

Have you noticed a pattern of extremes in your life? All in or all out, never just 'enough'?In this episode of our "Tangled In..." mini-series, I'm diving deep into the experience of ‘Chasing Highs’ that I know so many of us can relate to. I'm exploring my own experiences with restlessness, the pursuit of ‘more’ and that feeling of never being truly satisfied… Why do I and so many others with ADHD, often experience an intense need to chase highs? I'll break down the science behind this, including the role of dopamine, executive function challenges like working memory and time blindness, and the impact of self-belief and societal pressures.I’ll walk you through how this shows up in my own life, from the subtle to the messy. And we’ll explore:✨ Why dopamine plays such a huge role in our constant search for stimulation 🧠 What time blindness, impulsivity, and working memory have to do with it 💔 How this chase can show up in our relationships, habits, or even addiction 🔎 How self-belief (or lack of it) feeds into the cycle of always needing more 💡 And most importantly — what we can do about itI’ll also share a simple coaching tool called the “HIGH” framework to help you recognise when you're chasing something that’s not serving you — and how to shift that energy into something more aligned.Let’s stop hating ourselves for being “too much” — and start understanding the why behind our patterns.🎧 Listen now and let me know what you'd love for me to cover next!Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!

And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi….

Hey Untanglers!Rejection Rejection Rejection no one likes… but if you have ADHD rejection hurts a whole lot more and not even real rejection, perceived rejection can knock us down like a ton of bricks. It's that time of year where the world tells us to celebrate LOVE! I think we should celebrate love everyday and I don't mean with gifts, I mean just try our best to lead with love wherever we love for others and love for ourselves. Now loving oneself, especially when you have ADHD, can feel impossible. Let's face it we have spent our whole lives hating ourselves. The day of Love can be a mixed bag for us ADHDers, especially when Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is part of the picture. The pressure of romantic expectations, the fear of rejection, and the desire to feel truly understood can make this celebration uniquely challenging.In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by some of our favorite past guests to explore the intersections of ADHD, RSD, and relationships. Together, we’ll discuss:❤️ How ADHD impacts intimacy, communication, and love languages💔 The experience of RSD in romantic contexts and how to reframe rejection🌹 Practical strategies to create meaningful connectionsFeaturing powerful stories and expert advice from Mrs ADHD, Shareefa J, Dr Ned Halliwell, Helen Anderson and Professor James Brown, this conversation is here to remind you that love—including self-love—doesn’t have to be perfect to be real.Whether you're in a relationship, navigating the dating world, or celebrating solo, this episode offers insights, empathy, and actionable tips to help you embrace love in all its forms.Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of!ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!
