  • E5 - My ADHD Journey - assessment, medications, hacks etc

    In true ADHD style, the long-awaited ADHD episode. What a journey it has been with lots of highs, lows and obstacles to get round. In this episode I will take you through what led me to getting an assessment, what happened after I was diagnosed, medications, and hacks I've come up with that help me every day manage symptoms and stop me from feeling overwhelmed.


    ADHD in itself is a group of symptoms that have been given a name, I believe everyone is on the spectrum somewhere, and we can't put people into boxes, humans are so much more complex than that, but giving this group of symptoms a name allows us to have a bit more of an overarching view of what's going on and how to help. Not broken and there is nothing wrong with you, everything that you've gone through has led you to be the way that you are for survival, and there are things that we can do to lessen the symptoms and/or become okay with them.


    If you do think you've got ADHD talk to your GP, getting the diagnosis wobbled me for a few weeks and made me worse, so I believe it's really important that you have some stable self-care and things that help you regulate before you go through the process. GP should help you put these things in place, but my top tip is to invest in a psychotherapeutic counsellor, it is the one thing (after myself), that has helped me the most in my journey, understand myself and figure out how to help myself.


    I hope this episode helps in someway, please feel free to leave me some anonymous feedback on my Instagram or in the box below.

  • E4 - Anxiety after a car accident and how I helped myself
    I promised to take you along the highs and lows of my life, because life isn't a highlight reel. I love watching drama, NOT being in it! This is what happened last week, how I responded, what happened to my nervous system, and my reflections on what I learned or would do differently.
    I hope from this you can get to know me a little bit better, maybe you struggle with the same things and this helps your inner dialogue handle stressful situations going forwards.
    As always thank you for Fumbling Forward with me, please feel free to pop me a message.

  • E3 - Giving myself an Ego check & why I lost 32,000 followers.
    I promised I would be honest and vulnerable, and holy moly, listening back I feel like I'm being caught on the toilet with my pants round my ankles... Very exposing and scary - but, I promised to Fumble through life with you, with all my highs and lows, and what a journey it has been for my Ego. Had you have asked me five years ago, I was more obsessed with my image than I am with my coffee in the morning. Oh and don't forget about money... I was 100% trying to break the bank or find sugar daddies, because 'money is freedom', so of course that was my daily motivation. And I succeeded! Not with the sugar daddy - but at one point I was earning 3 months salary in 2 weeks. What I didn't realise until a couple years later, it was coming at the expense of mine, and other people's mental health. It didn't feel right anymore. I hadn't realised I was taking advantage, because what I was doing was so normal in the fitness industry, but I couldn't take advantage of people anymore. So here's how I have changed when it comes to posting on social media, why I changed, and why I no longer have 40,000 followers.

  • E2 - Rosie Battimelli - Love, Conflict and Somatic Healing
    Come on a Bali adventure with Rosie and I, talking about conflict, unconditional love, and her Somatic Healing experience!
    Somatic Healing is on the rise, used to heal or process trauma trapped in the body. There are numerous supportive studies on Somatic Healing being published, and I'm hearing more and more of people's experiences. It's something I anticipate will be more present in the therapy world in the near future.

  • E1 - "Who am I? Who Was I? How did I get here?"

    Fumble through this episode with me, and discuss my pivotal life experiences, relationships, jobs, and therapy journey. I would say "neatly" summed up in 20 minutes... I've tried to keep it short, non-waffly, but it's me. It's nearly, in chronological order.

  • Intro - < 10 mins
    Everything you expect from an intro, I probably won't do, God bless my ADHD making me unique. So here's my version of an introduction, probably not in order, not in the typical story-telling format, a treat for my fellow neurodivergents, keeping you stimulated. Here's who I am, what I do, a teeny bit about my journey, and what my vision is for this podcast.
    I haven't yet decided on a schedule, but I will try to keep it frequent, I can't promise anything, for some reason I'm hopeless with time management, but talking is a passion, and podcasting is something I wanted to do for a long time, I just never felt safe enough in myself to do it, but here we are, what a journey. I do wish I brought you along that journey with me, (feeling safer), but probably best I didn't as it's taken 28 years. Nevertheless, you can join from now, I will open my struggles to you, we are Fumbling Forwards, together.
    I hope you love it, I hope it feels like home, and I hope give you Big Sister Vibes. Stay in touch, don't be a stranger, and if you want to join The Sisterhood Community, head over to my instagram, @FrankieGClark and click the link in my bio.
