The ADHD Adults Podcast

In Episode 21, the ADHD adults James and Alex discuss that thing we all seem to do - procrastination. As usual, the podcast contains psychoeducation around why we put things off,  personal reflections on how procrastination has affected our lives (especially at work)   and some  'Top Tips' are shared, mostly by Alex of course. 'What did James lose this week?" returns largely now because it annoys Alex. Will Alex continue to get communication from Kidderminster?   Alex tries to be 'meta' and James introduces the words 'overfaced' to everyone not from Stoke on Trent.

As usual, there is some psychoeducation about how hormonal changes might complicate ADHD,  our personal reflections (only joking, Mrs ADHD does this bit) on ADHD and hormonal changes and we share some  'Top Tips' (Largely from Mrs ADHD). 'What did James lose this week?" returns to Alex's indifference and Alex continues to get letters from Kidderminster.  James demonstrates what a massive arsehole he is and Alex can't hide his glee at seeing James feel awkward.  Written by James Brown and Alex Conner.
