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!

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!

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!

Dawn started ADHD Medication last month!  in this episode we discuss her experience of Titration so far and look back at Laura's, which began ten months prior.  As ever, our experiences are entirely different, and we were both prescribed different medication. We then dive into the topic of ADHD Activism. We unmask our true intentions of ADHDAF. Nine months ago we cautiously dipped our toes in (THANKS RSD!) but we are finally brave enough to tell the full story and what led us to treading carefully. As discussed in the Emergency Bonus Blether; what we are doing here is 'ADHD Activism in action' - Cat Owens, We Are ADHDAF Community member.

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!

The Conversation with scam survivor Karen McCullough

If you’re a studio executive looking to bring some hard-core humor to a female-centric comedy script, there’s a good chance Karen McCullough is at the top of your list of potential writers. After all, she wrote 10 Things I Hate About You, The House Bunny, and Legally Blonde (along with its upcoming sequel) alongside her writing partner Kirsten Smith. Meanwhile, her solo work includes the draft that got Girls Trip made—as well as countless other rewrites and feature scripts. As she helps Ben, Tom and guest host Arvind Ethan David mow through three bottles of Reims Champagne, Karen talks about how Legally Blonde 3 began to bubble up over the years, how she began her screenwriting career from New Mexico, and why she has no plans (thank you very much) to follow the writing herd to television.
