As dead as they seem, tree stumps are hubs of life and relationships. Co-host Lulu Miller is back with another season of her hit spinoff show Terrestrials, and to celebrate, we're sharing the first episode with you. From stumps to snags, dead wood provides habitat for rodents, falcons, insects, and even humans. Stumps hold together the forest floor, give hunting perches to birds of prey in flatlands, prevent erosion and the encroachment of invasive species, usher in sunlight, provide nutrients, store renewable fuel, and hold onto stories human beings might have forgotten. Without these ghosts of trees past, nothing would be the same. Scottish author, artist and lover of tree stumps, Dr. Amanda Thomson, leads Lulu on a “tour de stumps,” a journey across space and time to learn about some of the most magical stumps on the planet.We have some exciting news!

Purpose-driven innovation starts with aligning a product with core values rather than just chasing market trends. This means understanding what truly matters to customers and addressing these needs. Take Amanda Thomson, for example, who aligned her personal values with her business and developed a range of premium non-alcoholic wines that not only filled a market gap but also established NOUGHTY as a leader in the beverage industry. It's already available in the USA, Canada, UK, and Europe and continues its rapid global expansion.About Amanda ThomsonAmanda Thomson is the visionary founder and CEO of Thomson & Scott, where she has created Noughty, the world's first premium non-alcoholic wine portfolio. With a background as a journalist and broadcaster at the BBC, Amanda used her media savvy and storytelling skills to shift into the entrepreneurial world and study for her Diploma in Wine at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. Her commitment to innovation and health-conscious alternatives led her to develop a product that caters to a growing global demand for non-alcoholic beverages.Under Amanda's leadership, Noughty became a market leader, being served in some of the world's top bars, restaurants, and hotels, including The Soho House Group and The Mandarin Oriental. Her commitment to purpose-driven innovation and ethical business practices has not only shaped her company but also made her a recognized industry leader.Key Insights:Focus on quality and branding. High-quality products combined with strong branding can set you apart from competitors, leading to increased customer retention and premium pricing opportunities.Adapt and innovate. Update your offerings regularly to stay relevant. This keeps your brand competitive and can open new market opportunities, ensuring long-term business growth.Develop strategic partnerships. Collaborate with reputable businesses to expand your reach. This can help you enter new markets and increase brand prestige through association with established companies.Educate your customers. There's a good chance you target audience doesn't know much about the market. Educating them on the topics beyond your offering can help overcome consumer skepticism, leading to higher adoption rates and customer satisfaction.Be patient and strategic. Scale your business methodically to ensure sustainable growth. Avoid rushing into expansion without a solid foundation to prevent operational and financial setbacks.Amanda's best advice for entrepreneurs:“Having the idea is one thing.

The Cairngorms National Park has inspired writing by Merryn Glover, whose books include The Hidden Fires: A Cairngorms Journey with Nan Shepherd. Writer and artist Amanda Thomson's book Belonging is on the longlist for the 2023 James Cropper Wainwright Prize for nature writing. As the BBC Proms broadcasts a concert from Perth, they talk to Radio 3's Kate Molleson about place and capturing Scottish nature in their work. Producer Ruth Watts You can find out more about Amanda Thomson at https://passingplace.com/home.html You can find out more about Merryn Glover at https://merrynglover.com/ This is part of a series of conversations about writing and place recorded for BBC Proms around the UK in summer 2023. You can find more conversations about writing and about nature and green thinking on the website for BBC Radio 3's arts and ideas programme Free Thinking.

On this episode we hear from Amanda. She was always curious by nature and would ask loads of questions as a child growing up, which got her into media as a BBC broadcaster in the arts space. With the advent of social media, NDAs, publicists she started seeing a shift and decided it was time for a change. She knew that with whatever she did in life, she wanted to make a difference and rip up the rule book in that space. One of her obsessions was fine wine and champagne and so her first career change was to train in making champagne and she moved with her family to Paris to do exactly that. While she was successful with her own champagne and prosecco business, she recognised that there was not going to be much commercial success for her. Being the journalist she inherently was, she picked up on a trend of healthy drinking within leader, industry and legislation. With the same obsession for fine, she put that towards producing non-alcoholic sparkling wine that was not filled with sugar and chemicals and make a real premium alternative for those who did not want to drink. She has same great insights of what we can do to bring more women into this space, such as amplifying the female voice, visibility, speaking up, male allies, hiring women where possible, outreach programmes and much more. She is a true inspiration and was quite moved when she shared her inspiration. https://noughtyaf.com/

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!

This is a VERY IMPORTANT and emotional episode in which we learn the extent of the sacrifices faced by Disability Campaigner Cat Owens due to undiagnosed ADHD. Though yet to be confirmed, it is suspected that Cat has been on the wrong medication for SEVENTEEN YEARS -at great cost!

In demystifying the politics surrounding ADHD, we uncover further unexplained mysteries from the Parliamentary Debate... WHERE ARE THE MISSING NUMBERS?!

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!

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!

You'll likely know Bristol's finest as @adhdfatheruk. The self proclaimed 'old hag of the ADHD online community', was diagnosed 20 years ago.  Jacob created his platform to highlight, educate and inspire people about ADHD, as well as spotlighting positive ADHD figures and the power of ADHD representation.  Jacob very kindly invited us on an Insta LIVE interview back in December and we hit it off right away.  We LOVE talking to this legend; so much so that we were recording this for over two hours and we could've blethered on longer! Despite not being a newbie to the ADHD Diagnosis Rollercoaster, Jacob didn't start learning about ADHD and connecting with other ADHDers for many years. It's this, and prioritising self care that has taken him from surviving to thriving! We are taking his advice and hope you do too. We're so grateful to Jacob for reaching out to us, and for volunteering his voice on the Podcast... and are SO EXCITED to have him join us for our Bristol Tour Date! Grab yourself a ticket HERE and tickets for our other dates HERE. The working title of this episode was 'Jacob and his coat of many Adeles' in reference to his unique self care rituals. LOLS!

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.

Non-binary neurodivergent counsellor Katie Harrison LPC, based in Misouri is a total ledge! Their unique perpective as all of the above enables Katie to identify neurodvergence in clients the world over.  Please note, that identification is not the same as diagnosis! Once identified, Katie helps clients navigate the adult ADHD diagnosis process in their country. Which comes with added difficulties when you are non-cisgendered.It's been said that ADHDers are highly intuitive, Katie argues that the so called ‘intuition' of people who are Assigned Female At Birth; especially those with late diagnosed ADHD is actually due to hyper-vigilance; a trauma response. Gender is a social construct, and in this insightful episode Katie shares a link between the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodivergence that their work has uncovered.Katie was pushed outside of the classroom, which made them feel unacceptable to society.  This lead to not being defined by social constructs… existing on the parameters of society.   THANK YOU to the AMAZING Katie Harrison LPC for educating us and sharing their late ADHD diagnosis journey!

After last week's tear jerker, be prepared to cry again, but this time with laughter! LA  based Comedian/Actor Merril Davis, originally from Miami, is one of the funniest people we have had the absolute pleasure to interview! Like us, Merrill basically has a neon flashing ADHDAF sign on her forehead, and is as perplexed as we are as to how they all went unnoticed.  Alongside the words that haunt our dreams such as 'could try harder', or 'you're too much'; we discovered Merrill through another one of 'those phrases'...  Merril 'means well'. This was the title of her incredible standup show at The Edinburgh Fringe last year, in which she shared her experiences of undiagnosed ADHD in 19 shows to rave reviews. She connected with many late diagnosed ADHDers who felt validated by her humour and unapologetic unmasking.  Merrill was labelled 'slow' in convent school, but unstructured college life was when her struggles really surfaced. Back to back job sackings, twice by  her own father! Her ADHD symptoms even led to a one night stay in jail. She discovered a therapist who immediately pointed out the obvious in 2016 and was diagnosed with Combined Type ADHD.  Merrill is happy to finally have 'the magic potion' to help her manage life better.   At times she even feels positive about having ADHD; but then come low moments when she feels heartbroken by the time and friendships lost to ADHD tax.This interview is the perfect episode for Blue Monday week; Merrill made our faces hurt with laughter whilst helping heal our wounds with validation! THANK YOU SO MUCH MERRILL, YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND! ENJOY! xxIf you've found this podcast helpful & are in a position to do so, please help us continue to help others by joining our Community.

In this episode we explore where Laura is up to on the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster and reflect on a monumental year since her diagnosis; that saw the start of a brand new chapter of her life.At dawn, the day after being diagnosed with ADHD, Laura realised that her lifelong problems were not her fault. It suddenly dawned on her that she no longer needed to hate and chastise herself. This was the dawn of a new era; which saw her start this podcast... with Dawn :) But what was the motivation behind becoming an ADHD activist? Sadly, a tragic chain of events which have impacted how Laura views the world and her place in it.  Whilst navigating the grief cycle of late ADHD diagnosis, she has also been dealing with bereavement and devastating news.  She questions if perhaps some of the emotional dysregulation and RSD are just sadness due to bereavement. Grief hits different for neurodivergents; and for someone finally aware of their serious time blindness; is it any wonder that she constantly hears the clock ticking?  BUT it isn't all gloom and doom! Armed with the answers to her struggles and having responded very well to ADHD medication; Laura has had an INCREDIBLE year! She has overcome the anger that she feared would never shift and is hopeful that ADHD coaching and therapy will improve her life further...meaning that she might actually be able to rest at some point! :)If you are suffering with grief, you are not alone.

Happy New Year! New year, new you? Us neither! ;)We are so excited to share this incredible blether with a legendary lady for our first episode of 2023! If you haven't already heard of Single Parent Pessimist Blogger, Claire or listened to her incredible Mind Vox Podcast, you need to remedy that… but not until you've listened to her story here first of course! :)Claire was diagnosed (albeit rather vaguely?!) in 2022, she also identifies strongly with autism. Having blogged for a decade about her experiences as a single parent, the pandemic inspired Claire to create Mind Vox Podcast to raise mental health awareness.

Siobhan O'Connor - @notsosecretlysober was diagnosed with ADHD in May of this year, at 32 in Manchester.  In this inspirational blether, she shares her battles to overcome the ADHD comorbidities of alchohol and drug abuse; and concludes with her top tips for a Sober Christmas! Historically, Siobhan felt pride in being 'the last person standing' at parties.  Though she didn't drink everyday, when she did, her binge drinking was so extreme that she ended up being hospitalised on multiple occasions! Getting blackout drunk exacerbated her ADHD trait of risk taking behaviour. The terrifying situations Siobhan found herself in, in the name of 'fun', were no laughing matter! Prior to four years ago, Siobhan LOVED drinking! It was her whole identity(!) and led her to taking recreational drugs, and in turn into dangerous situations and debt. Reading Russell Brand's Recovery, inspired a year off the sauce... she has never looked back! Siobhan has a BRILLIANTLY names Social Media Management company: @ousaucedmedia - get it! :)   Dawn felt so inspired by Siobhan's story, she has decided this will be her first ever sober Christmas... and who knows what 2023 will bring!  Don't feel pressured to drink alcohol at Christmas!

We are so excited to share this very special bonus blether with a very special person in Laura's life; who has become a very special person to ADHDAF! Introducing the legendary Steph Thompson, creator of All The Discos handmade accessories; including our collaborative ADHDAF X All The Discos Bolt Earrings, Leopard Print Tree Decorations and Disco Party Capes. Laura & Steph were thick as thieves from aged 11, until that wrecking ball of ADHD swung in and destroyed 20 years of friendship! Laura's masking caused serious miscommunication and conflict to devastating consequences. The once best friends didn't speak for over two years! Despite masking to protect herself, hiding who she was and all that she was suffering was the very thing that kept her from safety.  Even with the very best of intentions, lying can cause great pain. After finally reuniting and being brave enough to tell the whole horrible truth behind the facade, the foes were friends once more. This is a story of hope for the great many ADHDers who struggle to maintain friendships and often find themselves in conflict. With honest communication and compassion, even the deepest of wounds can be healed. Two women who thought they would never be in the same room together now work together on two businesses, speaking every single day, and are now closer than ever. ADHD AWARENESS CHANGES LIVES! Steph is neurotypical, and believes EVERYONE should listen to this podcast in order to understand the neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 1 in 40 adults and to help the fight for systemic change!

In this episode I try their delicious sparkling wine whilst discussing the wine industry. We start by discussing Vegan and Organic wine and what that means, and we then move on to discuss how it is becoming more of a trend not to drink. There was once a time where you may have felt pressured to have a glass of wine but now people are accepting your decision to say no. However, whilst you may be avoiding a headache the next day, you may still want something similar and this is where Noughty comes in. Amanda and I discuss the following topics:- Her upbringing on a plant-based diet- Why she started Noughty and how she went about the process- Her relationship with alcohol and how you can drink both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - How different places around the world have different relationships with alcohol- How non-alcoholic options mirror plant-based with regards to you want it to mimic something alcoholic so you feel included in a social situationThis is such an interesting episode which I think you will loveTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to www.greedyvegan.uk or follow us on @greedyveganltdTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.

“You're not going to learn when you win as a sports team, you learn when you lose, and I think that's the truth, however painful it is.” A successful entrepreneur and founder of Thomson & Scott and creator of Noughty, home to the best alcohol-free sparkling Chardonnay and Rosé wine around, Amanda Thomson has a story to tell, tips to share and a goal to permanently change society's relationship with alcohol. From breaking the rituals around drinking and relaxation, to campaigning for transparency in alcohol labelling, hear what Amanda has to say on the drinks industry - and why cheaper is not always worth it. The multi-talented businesswoman also reveals her personal journey to being fitter and happier. She talks about the steps she put in place of alcohol to deal with her own work-related stresses to help improve her physical and mental wellbeing, and the many benefits she's found in moderation, from clarity of thought to no more dreaded hang-xiety. In this podcast, Amanda talks openly about how one simple word courted controversy with her low-sugar wines, landing her with a court case, and how those lessons learned might even have helped with the launch of Noughty. She shares the things that bring her joy and what exactly is broken in the drinks industry that needs to be fixed.

‘When we read and write, when we love our fellow creatures, when we walk on the beach, when we just listen and notice, we are not little cogs in the machine, but part of the remedy.’ These luminous words by Kathleen Jamie form part of the introduction to Antlers of Water, an outstanding collection of contemporary Scottish writing about nature and landscape. The generosity of Jamie’s approach as editor of the collection goes beyond the stellar selection of contributors such as Amy Liptrot, Karine Polwart and Malachy Tallack: she also invokes the agency of readers to make a difference. ‘If, by reading, you are encouraged or confirmed in your love of the natural world, if you’re inspired simply to… look outside, then our job is done.’ In a discussion recorded live at the 2020 Book Festival and led by the BBC's Clare English, Jamie is joined by award-winning journalist Chitra Ramaswamy as well as visual artist and writer Amanda Thomson – both contributors to the anthology – to discuss Scotland, landscape and the more-than-human world around us.
