Alice Reeves is a Worthing-based OCD/ADHD business coach and consultant and the Co-Founder & Director of Joyfully Different, an organisation that supports neurodivergent business owners and coaches organisations to become more neuro-inclusive.
Alice explains the way her OCD and ADHD interact and how her growing understanding of how her brain works informs the baggy yet supportive way she shapes her days. Alice denounces exhausting ideas about how a work day should look and instead describes the experimental approach that works for her brain: acknowledging the concertina of micro-battles faced in the mornings by ADHD brains, minimising the strain of transitions throughout the day, and allowing herself to really feel the bigness of her emotions, rather than pressing on and pretending they’re not important.
Alice celebrates the sweetness of her friendships, the unrelenting comfort of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and admits she longs for more green and expansive beauty in her days. Alice's commitment to understanding herself and recognising what she needs feels like an invitation, or permission even, to imagine a different kind of days for ourselves.

Other People's Days is a podcast where we talk about our daily lives with honesty, nuance and reverence, in the hope that we can find something of ourselves in other people’s days.
With a focus on the neurodivergent community, Other People’s Days explores what days really feel like: what is difficult, what is comforting, and what is beautiful.
