In this episode of Intentional Oversharing, Neely shares a raw and unfiltered life update covering career pivots, chronic pain, and the quiet unraveling that comes with both. Neely opens up about leaving her internship at Stimara, how it felt to represent someone else’s brand while slowly disappearing from her own, and the unexpected relief of returning to her fully unhinged self. She also talks about her growing suspicion that she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, how Reddit and ChatGPT helped her connect the dots, and the ongoing nightmare of trying to get a diagnosis while being chronically dismissed by doctors.
If you’re in the thick of transition, pain, or just trying to exist without disappearing—this one’s for you.

In this episode of Intentional Oversharing, Neely Kimey welcomes Lucy Bentley—podcaster, former justice system professional, and neurodivergent Brit—for a deeply honest and hilariously chaotic conversation about late diagnosis, executive dysfunction, shame, and the wild road to self-acceptance. Together, they unpack their overlapping AuDHD experiences, explore the flaws in diagnostic frameworks, and share moments of vulnerability, confusion, and clarity around what it means to "function" in a neurotypical world.
Lucy shares her journey through school and navigating the workplace, revealing the patchwork path so many AuDHDers travel in pursuit of novelty and autonomy. The two discuss the shame cycles of undiagnosed neurodivergence, the relief and grief of diagnosis, and the maddening hoops people have to jump through—particularly in the UK—to get support.
Whether you're diagnosed, suspect you're neurodivergent, or just chronically misunderstood, this episode reminds you: you're not alone, and you're not broken.
