  • Workplace Law and ADHD
    Have you ever purchased noise cancelling headphones for the office or paid for apps that help you be more organised? Have you ever wished that your employer let you do tasks the way you work best?
    Well if you have ADHD you’re in
    luck!
    This is a legal obligation according to the The Disability
    Discrimination Act, not just in Australia but majority of first-world
    countries. If you’re in a developing country, take these tips anyways to
    advocate in your workplace and community.
    I’ll go through legal employee rights, specific ADHD workplace accommodations, and how to approach your employer whether they know you have ADHD!

  • Sugar, Binge Eating & ADHD

    This episode is all about the why behind sugar cravings, and binge eating (it's not your fault!). I go through the dopamine link between food, feelings and ADHD brain. And the evidence-based research to combat over-eating (hint: it's actually eating more).

    I've struggled with a sweet-tooth my whole life btw!

          • Wait, Am I Talking Too Much? [ADHD]

            By far one of my biggest problems with ADHD is jumping from random topics going on tangent to tangent! It's not neccessarily a bad thing, it makes us our bubbly, outgoing selves. But if it's affecting relationsips, taking up too much of our phone bill - there are ways to take control of this!

            In today's episode we go through why we might go on tangents or interrupt others, like fear of forgetting or impulse control.

          • Selfish vs Caring for Yourself is Totally Different - ADHD and Neutrotypical Humans!
            This week we dive straight into The People Pleaser’s Guide to Putting Yourself First (2022) by body, mind and soul podcaster Hollie Azzopardi.  This book was given to me by a friend for Christmas (read between the lines LOL).
            Putting Yourself First (2022) reframes "the selfish" as necessary to maintain a healthy space without a false identity of who you are. We look at the 5 Whys behind pleasing a particular person? And how swapping these negative worries, re-wire the brain's chemicals into permanent beliefs.

          • Having ADHD in a Relationship
            In this episode we ask - does ADHD affect my relationships? The answer is yes! But this doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Maybe just another thing we can blame ADHD on. We understand why things, (like forgetting appointments), can lead to misunderstandings. And we also go through some helpful techniques to get through these hurdles!

          • SOS Small Talk with an ADHD Mind
            In today's episode, we go through how to take control of small talk - especially if you're someone having trouble holding conversation or even listening! For ADHD humans, listening without interrupting can be a huge struggle! 
            Gretchen Rubin author of The Happiness Project gives us 8 Ways to Get Better at Small Talk. When it comes to small talk, people with ADHD tend to fall into one of two camps: we’re either motor mouths who don’t let our conversational partners get a word in, or we’re too distracted to follow constantly changing (and not always gripping) conversational threads.
