What if the story you were living wasn’t your own?

In this powerful opening step, the first of 12, Kat Wood begins the journey of mythic recovery for women with ADHD. Drawing from Jungian psychology, cultural criticism, and personal experience, she explores the unconscious myth so many of us carry: that we must reject our wildness in order to survive.

This episode unpacks the stigma surrounding ADHD, especially for women, and the societal narratives that shame difference. It traces how these myths become internalised, how they silence our soul-song, and what it means to begin the process of individuation — the process of reclaiming our wild, lost selves.

We journey through shadow work, the witch wound, and the symbolism of The Little Mermaid as a tale of self-abandonment and return.

If you've ever felt like you had to contort yourself to be acceptable, then this episode is for you.
