They say you should never meet your heroes, but this episode disproves that theory! I could talk to Kat Brown ALL DAY LONG, and I did! Which is why, instead of losing any of the absolute GOLD late discovered ADHD Author Kat shared with me, I decided to make it a two parter! The second and final instalment will be out tomorrow...

Kat is the Author of 'It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult' and 'No One Talks About This Stuff: Twenty-Two Stories of Almost Parenthood', both are subjects extremely close to my heart.  This interview/chinwag delves into both of the book topics; the deep grief and hard work that goes into accepting both the realities of a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition and infertility... BUT we have some proper giggles/cackles along the way!

Exploring Kat's battles with commonly co-occurring conditions of ADHD, to  bullying, mysogyny, the bloody media(!) and MORE! This is such an incredible conversation I'm extremely lucky, grateful and excited to be sharing... and I'm even more all-of-the-above to be collaborating TWICE this week in real life with this ABSOLUTE BLOODY LEGEND at the last ADHD AF Alien Nation show and Flackstock Festival THANK YOU SO MUCH KAT! And enormous congratulations to Cybil, the winner of 4th place in 'the prettiest bitch' category! :)
