The Well

Why are so many women being diagnosed with ADHD later in life? What does your partner’s penis have to do with your bacterial vaginosis diagnosis? And when to worry about a lumpy boob. In this episode, psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr Kieran Kennedy discusses how women often experience more inattentive features of ADHD and why they may try to mask the symptoms. We also talk about time blindness, memory issues and emotional dysregulation. And is ADHD making you feel more sensitive to rejection? We discuss a condition called rejection sensitive dysphoria.

Over the last four weeks on Well, we've explored everything there is to know about having a vagina and a pelvis. We've done some period mythbusting, delved into endo, PCOS and answered some of your burning questions.

How do you start your life over again? We've launched a new show with Madeleine West and we want you to hear it. If you like it, make sure to subscribe to Restart wherever you get your podcasts. From the outside, Madeleine West had it all. A successful acting career, six beautiful kids, a life in Melbourne and a marriage of 15 years. Until a conversation about placemats made her question, 'Is this really what I want?'. It was in this moment that, Madeleine West chose to press 'Restart' on her life. It was hard- really hard in fact. So has it all been worth it? On the first episode of Restart, Madeleine explores something almost half of all Australian adults will go through at some point in their lives: divorce. Madeleine speaks to Divorce Coach & Legal and Separation Strategist (and divorcee) Nikki Parkinson, about the reality of a separation. PLUS has a truly heartbreaking and hilarious chat with comedian and podcast host Helen Thorne, who marriage became immediately unraveled after she found a love note in her husbands jacket pocket...that wasn't from her. No stone will be left unturned as Madeleine West explores what it is really like to restart your life. THE END BITS Buy Get Divorced, Be Happy by Helen Thorn and listen to her podcast Scummy Mummies.

You're homesick? You're celebrating? What you eat when says a lot about you, about your culture, your taste, your family, and what matters to you.

And why does she match her hats with the dinner she's making?  Although she doesn't like cooking, as she explains to Silvia, she still likes eating. And food holds a lot of memories for her.

If the mother you got was not the mother you needed how do you deal with that?

What's your relationship like with your dad? Does it affect who you are today, how confident you feel in yourself, in your relationships to others? Did you become like him or seek him out in other ways? Did you marry him, as they say?  Our relationships with our parents are our first important relationships and can set the tone for how we relate to the world… and it's not always an easy beginning.  Robin's Dad passed away when she was just 11 and without a male role model validating her as she transitioned from a girl to a woman, her relationships with her body, food and others were affected. Bec's Dad is her hero and challenged and inspired her as she grew up.  With sage advice from Psychiatrist Dr Judith Martin on how to heal the wounds today if you didn't have the father you needed in childhood, this episode of The Well is about how we're all our father's daughters – for better or for worse.

Bec's parents have been married for 52 years. 52 years! So how do they make it work? Bec's dad said it's not just about love - it's about commitment. With the divorce rate these days sitting at around 42% do we just not have the staying power that some of our folks did? Or is the idea of lifelong marriage just not as realistic now in this day and age? Bec's a romantic and likes to think that love can be enduring for a lifetime – if you work at it. Robin thinks love is for a time and that people change…We know partnerships aren't all love and rainbows – so what do you do when you're stuck in a rut but want to make it through to the other side together? Firstly it helps if you're speaking the same language – love language that is. Robin takes us through the concept of the 5 Love Languages and explains how they've helped her in all kinds of relationships. Bec brings to the table a wealth of tips for when you're in the trenches and your relationship has gone to the bottom of the list.  Along the way Robin and Bec share the war stories of their first marriages and the roads to where they are now.

How do you define success? Is it a big pay check and a house with a picket fence? Or is it about loving what you do? If you've found something you're good at AND enjoy, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot. We spend a third of our lives working, but that doesn't mean we can forget about those virtues that aren't found on a resume.  This is a case for living your eulogy values, the things people will say about you at your funeral. Also, according to Elizabeth Gilbert, there are four words we need to know: hobby, job, career and vocation. But the only one you really need is a job, and it doesn't have to be soul-fulfilling.  The Well is the show that explores the head, the heart and the happiness of life.

It's the topic that no-one really wants to talk about, but almost all of us will experience at some time or another. We still don't know how to deal with it properly, or what to do when it comes our way.  And for hosts Rebecca Sparrow and Robin Bailey it is the elephant in the room - Grief. Robin and Bec both have the unfortunate distinction of having spent plenty of time with grief. And for this episode, they decided to pool their experiences with loss to help others. You will cry, you will laugh and you will most definitely learn something. The Well is the show that explores the head, the heart and the happiness of life.

Do you bound out of bed for a run? Or does your self-loathing prevent you? Many of us have a love/hate relationship with exercise, but the health benefits can't be ignored. So what makes good exercise? We look at how the "fitspiration" movement can do more harm than good, why our notions of exercise revolve around body image, and how to ignore all that and make exercise habits that work for you...no matter your size, shape, fitness level or what you look like in activewear.  Hosted by author and columnist Rebecca Sparrow and radio presenter Robin Bailey, it's the show that explores the head, heart and happiness of life.  Contact the show via the facebook page, Email thewell@mamamia.com.au Rebecca Sparrow is an author who's now committing to 10,000 steps a day.  And Robin Bailey is a runner who is on Triple M Breakfast Please subscribe to this show in itunes, and if you have a moment, rate and review the show!

Friends are the sunshine of life. But like sunshine, they can either radiate their goodness on you, or burn the crap out of you if you're not careful. With everyone craving quality connections, how do you find new friends? Can you pick them up in a playground or bar? And how should you approach this delicate dance? Do we need to look at the way kids make friends, and follow their lead? We roadtest the theory that friendships only last 7 years before you rotate into new ones. And how do you let go of a friend who makes you feel crap? The Well has practical tips to be a better real-world friend in an age where everyone is glued to their devices.   Hosted by Rebecca Sparrow and radio presenter Robin Bailey, it's the show that explores the head, heart and happiness of life.  Contact the show via the facebook page, Email thewell@mamamia.com.au Rebecca Sparrow is an author and self-help book reader.
