Welcome to the wonderful world of Sheri Scott, aka @foreveryoursbetty 
We are both longterm fans of this incredible creative's content, so we feel very lucky and incredibly grateful to have had a blether with this absolute tangerine dream! 

Glasgow's finest Sheri, is a multi-hyphenate - very appropriately nicknamed 'the ideas factory'. Her flame haired head hosts a brilliant brain constantly buzzing with brightly coloured ideas, which she uses to put the fire into businesses. 
From high fashion to chimpanzees,  you name it and  Sheri's unique and creative 'big picture' brain waves will catapult companies to flaming results. You've only got to take a quick glance at her own platform to see that this lady is a Queen amongst content creators! 

As the pandemic threw a spanner into the works the world over, Sheri's work and coping mechanisms shut down, just as Tik Tok began raising awareness about ADHD - opening her eyes to the neurodevelopmental disorder. 
In 2020 Sheri received a late ADHD diagnosis at the age of 34, and was referred for a screening for Autism, as she presents highly for this also. 
(We will further explore ASD in a furture episode)

What followed was sadly nothing short of a frightening and dangerous ordeal!
Without the essential support she should have been provided(!) Sheri has taken treatment into her own hands.  She takes responsibility for managing her clashing ADHD and Autism symptoms, and has found what works for her. 
*We hear of many using ADHD medication in a way that works for them, but just in an attempt to be responsible (though being so isn't our strong point!) I'm sure all will understand that we have to say this - always read and follow medication instructions* 

We are so grateful to Sheri for sharing one hell of a ride on the late ADHD diagnosis rollercoaster with us! Her insight into 'NEURODIVERSE JOY' is so touching, that it's even giving me goosebumps now just thinking about it! We were so moved in her description of the joy that the colour orange brings her, that we've changed our signature colours, turning our socials orange for the week in her honour... WE'VE BEEN TANGOED! 

Serendipitously, orange is also the colour of ADHD Awareness Month, so we are very happy to be giving Sheri mega dopamine hits, whilst raising awareness for the cause at this important time. Further serendipitously, having been enamoured by Sheri being her striking citrus self unapologetically; we were hurt this week for being called - in a nutshell - 'too much'.  
We end this episode with a Reynolds rant(!) in which we acknowledge our need to educate ourselves about social media accessibility. We understand that we need to be mindful of that going forward; but taking the lead of Sheri, we outright refuse to dull our sparkle!
We are loud, colourful, chaotic and busy-minded people who won't be to everyone's tastes; but after a lifetime of masking, authenticity is essential as we embark on this new chapter which we share for the cause. Our podcast and our platform are a reflection of ourselves and how ADHD presents in US.  

We take great inspiration from your authenticity, creativity and bravery, and therefore we are forever yours Sheri! 

*TRIGGER WARNING* 
There is some swearing, mentions of medication, misdiagnosis, malpractice, mental health crisis, financial struggles, and heart stabbing - metaphorically!
