After a bit of a break I'm back! First things first, I'm answering the question of where I've been the past few months, which actually I hope will provide some insight into how the ADHD mind works on a very applied level.Β

In this episode, we're talking about the practical challenges of managing time and schedules with ADHD. The core traits of ADHDβdifficulty focusing, an overactive mind, and diverging thoughtsβmake time management a significant hurdle. I've always prided myself on being punctual, but it has come at the cost of hyper-vigilance and constant anxiety. This time we're talking about moving from denial to developing constructive time management tools that align with how my brain works.Β
I mention the Miro board I use for planning in the episode - you can find a read-only template here.

After a brief hiatus to recharge my batteries (albeit I'm a bit husky, apologies), I'm back and excited to chat with you again, this time to explore the day-to-day challenges of living with ADHD traits. These might seem minor on the surface, but they significantly impact daily life and require continuous, and often tiring, effort to manage.

This week, we're diving into a topic Iβve been eager to shareβmusic. In this episode, I reflect on how ADHD has shaped my musical tastes and experiences, and explore the deep emotional and technical connections that make music so powerful for me.

In this episode we're talking about the nuances of friendships through the lens of ADHD traits, and exploring how they influence our behaviour particularly when making new friends. From the exhilarating rush of connection to the relentless fear of rejection, my ADHD traits have shaped the ebb and flow of my friendships, revealing both challenges and strengths along the way.

This time we're looking into the intriguing question of how individuals with ADHD can excel in their careers when many people assume that the traits mean success isn't possible. I'll explore the interplay between ADHD traits and my professional career, from childhood inspirations to navigating workplace dynamics.

This time we're having what will probably be the first of a few bites at the challenge of explaining ADHD to neurotypical people. We're talking about strategies for navigating conversations about ADHD, including the use of metaphors to illustrate some of our traits and experiences.
In the episode, we make reference to the excellent ADHD 2.0 book and, as promised, you can find a copy of it here.

This time we're going have a crack at the influence of media coverage on life as an individual with ADHD. It's a heady cocktail of how the media affects the understanding, skepticism, and societal commentary surrounding ADHD and what the implications are of that on our day to day lives.

I was sceptical about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) until I experienced it post-diagnosis. In this episode we talk about using CBT to challenge unhelpful beliefs and defuse stress triggers. I also tell you how I've found that my ADHD traits have, I think, made CBT particularly effective.
