4 late diagnosed ADHD women sit together in conversation and share their ADHD lessons and hacks.At the table: Shappi Khorsandi, Ellie Middleton, Kat Brown and Stacey DuguidPre-order my brand new book, Now It All Makes Sense

Jemma has been eager to get behind the mic for this one. Being a middle class woman of a 'certain' age has nothing to do with it, honest guv. On that note, the Trawl ladies aren't entirely sure what 'that' certain age is but there's so much to mull over they might never get an answer to thatBut there's more to ponder besides Gregg, so they kick off discussing the resignation of Labour's Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh. Haigh was mugged many years ago and said her work phone was one of the items stolen, only said phone then turned up. As far as the Trawlers are concerned this spent conviction pales into comparison with assaulting a woman (Reform MP) or hacking a colleague's computer (Badenoch) but hey....Marina and Jemma also discuss the Assisted Dying Bill and give their very personal views on that. And then, finally, they turn their attention to the Gregg Wallace brouhaha. Is there a woman who hasn't taken to socials to say how him blaming his accusers of his alleged misconduct probably wasn't the best plan?One man however thinks he's a male icon and the ladies have a lot to say about that. Marina surprises Jemma with an underrated tweet she wasn't expecting which ends the ep on a very funny note. Pudding is brilliant - short but sweet and starring comics Mark Thomas and Shappi Khorsandi.

What do you think the most testing part of your life has been as far as RSD is concerned?53:21 What did/do your parents think about ADHD and everything that it entails?57:30 The ‘ADHD item' segment 01:03:26 Washing machine of woes 01:09:01 A very personal question and one you don't have to answer of course, but what is the process of a relationship coming to an end and then the subsequent divorce like for the chaotic mind of someone with ADHD?01:14:33 Do you think that everything you've been through - including your late diagnosis - has helped you build your career?01:17:41 Where would you be in life without your sense of humour and what purpose does your sense of humour serve in softening the blow of everything we've spoken about already!01:19:35 A wedding day story 01:23:14 Being very much an outsider through Neurodivergent means and, back when you came to the UK, feeling like an outsider through race too, do you have an explanation in a nutshell that might best describe how ostracised a person would feel, and did feel, in that scenario?01:27:04 Most impulsive thing 01:31:37 Closing questions & signing the ‘thinks outside the box' canvas Buy Shappi's book

Money mules allow cash to enter their account to send on to others, often with financial incentives. Even without knowing they are doing so, they may be partaking in money laundering and therefore, breaking the law.You can be approached in person or online, with perpetrators often being criminals or part of gangs seeking to ‘clean' money through multiple transactions. They often target those they feel would be the easiest to manipulate, which is often older and younger people.This is particularly worrisome for parents, as young children can easily be recruited into this, given 44% of those aged 13-24 admit they would consider letting someone use their account if offered money, while 11% would unknowingly become a money mule – transferring money from their account to others after someone has sent it on to them.According to new research from the Nationwide Building Society, 20% worry about their financial situation and 77% wish they had more money to buy the things they want, without having to ask their parents for money.Shappi Khorsandi, bestselling author and British comic, is a mother of two and has partnered with the building society to educate the nation's parents about these perils, not only to protect themselves but to pass on knowledge and telltale signs to their children.Shappi herself has been a victim of fraud and has spoken to her children about protecting their finances.

Today our guest is Shappi Khorsandi comedian, actor and author. I've known Shappi since we gigged on the stand up circuit together, and always loved her way of dealing with all manner of topics from politics to parenthood. Her passion for living a good life in a secular way led to her being elected President of the British Humanist Association in 2016 and today she is still the Vice-President. ..Shappi’s outlook is coloured by an unusual life story - her parents emigrated from Iran when she was a child and she was brought up as a sort of culturally Muslim atheist. Pretty cool. Her journey to TV stardom has not always been easy, leading to addictions and 12 step programmes...3 Key Takeaways...We deep-dive into the importance of funerals, weddings and rites of passage.You’ll learn how taking part in “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” created a spiritual transformation in ShappiThere’s a deep dive into how a lack of meaning, disconnection and low self-esteem led into addiction...News: Lifefulness 101..We are launching Lifefulness 101 - a new group learning experience that will help you devise meaningful goals for 2021 and give you a community of absolute legends who will inspire you to make them happen.

The journey of coming out has long been a rite of passage for LGBTQ+ people. For some, it’s an empowering opportunity to be true to oneself, friends and family. It also has a social purpose. With increased visibility of LGBTQ+ people, the argument goes, comes greater social acceptance. Coming out stories also help bind the community together. But some LGBTQ+ people are choosing alternatives to the public coming out announcement. They argue that a romanticisation of coming out within the LGBTQ+ community puts pressure on those for whom coming out remains difficult or even dangerous. Others question whether coming out publicly as LGBTQ+ is even necessary anymore. Dustin Lance Black, the screenwriter of Milk, charts the history of coming out as LGBTQ+, from the early gay demonstrations of the 60s and 70s to the watershed coming out moments of celebrities including Sir Ian McKellen, Ellen DeGeneres, and Caitlyn Jenner. Dustin also hears from a younger generation of LGBTQ+ people, to find out how social media has altered what it means to come out about their sexual orientation or gender identity. And he asks whether there will ever come a time when LGBTQ+ people no longer need to come out.

With mounting anger from the public, and criticism from within the Tory party, is the education secretary's job at risk following the exams crisis? Gavin Williamson's being attacked by some for taking too long to resolve the problem, with two ministers among those raising concerns over how it's being dealt with. Our political editor Joe Murphy says Mr Williamson has Boris Johnson's support for now, but there are rumours a cabinet re-shuffle is on its way sooner rather than later. And, Al Murray joins the podcast to tell us about how he and Jayde Adams compered the first major comedy gig to be held indoors since lockdown began.

Martyn, Chris, and Sam are back. This week, they're talking comedy. But what exactly is comedy and, who decides what's funny? The dictionary describes comedy as; “professional entertainment consisting of jokes and sketches, intended to make an audience laugh.” But, is that an accurate or relevant description? Your dynamic trio discusses their favourite comedians/influences, such as Lee Evans, Robin Williams, Paul Whitehouse, Shappi Khorsandi and, Dave Chappelle. They also talk about “cancel culture” and ask questions such as “should it be one rule for comedians and one rule for everyone else?” and “what role should context play when telling a joke?” The intro is taking from Dave Chappelle's 2019 Netflix special ‘sticks & stones'.
