  • 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!

  • This explains so much

    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
