- Very helpful!
A podcast that explains and reflects, in a very relatable and personable way, my own experience with ADHD. It’s very affirming to realise you’re not actually alone in these experiences!
For example, this podcast is the first time I have heard my personal experience with meditation explained - panic followed by disassociation (for me it’s a feeling of the world being “unreal” or that I’m in a waking dream), as well as some simple things that might help.
Thank you for this and other insights!

“As a mum with ADHD, this podcast has been such a safe space. Hearing other mums share their stories makes me feel less alone, and the practical tips actually fit into real family life. I love the honesty, humour, and the sense of community it creates.”

This podcast has helped me immensely as a mother and a person. Somehow the episode I open each time I listen resonates my current struggles and personal experiences. There are gold nuggets of information that you truely connect with and make you feel truely seen.
I have learned how to better understand my kids, myself, how to advocate better and how to take better care of myself.
If you are a burnt out Mum with kids who are neurodiverse this is for you.
Whilst I don’t believe I am neurodiv... more

Jane speaks with experience and empathy and her podcast is honestly like the tight hug I need! I love her honesty and relatability, she is a champion of all neurodivergent people and the world needs more like her.

I came to understand my neuro-spicy child but found a space to understand myself and was diagnosed myself. It breaks the myths, the heartbreaks and challenges neurodivergence can face. Highly recommend for parents, carers, family & educators.
Very grateful to have come across this podcast
