#27 Taking leaps of faith & the superpower of ADHD | Chat with Elli Sydenham


Listen Later

What would you say your superpower is?


In this episode, we're getting to know Elli Sydenham - supermum, single parent and social media manager(!) for her 13-year-old daughter, Phoebe and their many four-legged friends. Known on Instagram by the handle @hattie_the wildcardpony, this glorious duo are brightening our feeds on the daily - with daughter, Phoebe, letting her creative streak and determined nature run riot and mum, Elli, being the "buffer and safety net" for content, comments and followers. (Pretty hard work when there's 15k+ followers!)


Listen on to hear more about:

  • Elli's background and life as a "first generation equestrian" & "first generation equestrian mum"
  • The challenges and benefits of co-parenting with an ex
  • Advocating for Phoebe's ADHD diagnosis and life after the discovery
  • The benefits of horses and social media for someone with a neurodevelopment difference
  • Managing an adolescent's social media account as a parent

  • This was such an open and honest conversation, with huge thanks to Elli for her candour. We hope this conversation gives you plenty to think about, but plenty to be hopeful about, too - especially if you, or someone you know, are struggling with accepting a "difference" of any kind. Because, your difference can be just what the world needs!
