Its Christmas Time!! A lovely but also very demanding and stressful time of the year - especially for people with ADHD. Why? Because we are suddenly pressured even more to perform as if we were neurotypicals and otherwise face criticism from family, ourselves or society. This episode is here to make you laugh, maybe cry, feel better, less alone, seen, heard, and also to help you navigate through this time of the year without going into a burnout spiral. In short: we want to help you feel more at ease during this time of the year by talking about personal experiences combined with research, and tips and tricks.

Timeframe:

First: Little catch up

Then: talking about experiences, symptoms, research and difficulties for ADHDers during Christmas

Finally: Advice and tips and tricks.

Content warning - this episode discusses topics that may be upsetting for some people (abuse and upsetting behaviours in relationships).

This weeks episode is Emma discussing turbulent relationships when you have ADHD, why this happens and touches on her own experiences - being vulnerable and honest!

Ep 12 is live!!! And its all about Routines - why we often fail to develop GOOD or Healthy routines - how we are often all or nothing and how that leads to having a catch 22 relationship with routines when you have ADHD. We talk about why routines are so important and great for people with ADHD and why we tend to HATE them and really struggle following them. Plus we give you tangible tips and tricks on how you can start improving your daily routines and what self care with ADHD might look like.

As for always, please give us a follow as that really helps us keep doing what we do!!

Episode 11 is live now and is part 2 of our Parenting with ADHD series!!

This time we cover the topics of Overstimulation, sleep deprivation and not meeting your own needs if you are a parent with ADHD. Because spoiler alert: These are all massive triggers for ADHD and often are the culprits behind emotional dysregulation and eventually burnout that hits us so frequently.

We talk about Self compassion if you are a mum with ADHD and cover tips, tricks and strategies that you can try if you often feel overwhelmed, dysregulated and overstimulated.

Episode 10 is out now and is all about the realities of having ADHD when you are a Mum. Or more the realisation that it was undiagnosed/untreated ADHD that was a big reason for many many struggles we faced during early motherhood. But do not worry we make sure to bring in a TON of humor as well whilst keeping it as authentic, real, and UNFILTERED as always. We also talk about how friendships, rage, parenting techniques, emotional dysregulation and strategies as a parent as well as how to identify and handle common triggers. And most importantly we talk about SELF COMPASSION (Its in capital letters because self compassion is BIG and so so needed, especially if you are a neurodiverse mum because that is tough!!). We hope with this episode, you feel seen, heard and most importantly less alone and empowered to give yourself a lot of self compassion (and to ask for help).
