So…what is ADHD? How is it diagnosed? What does it look like in adults? What medications exist and how do they work? 

For the first episode of the ‘It’s My ADHD’ miniseries, Steph sits down with a psychologist and a psychiatrist to find out more about ADHD and how a psychologist and a psychiatrists’ approach differs when it comes to diagnosing and treating ADHD.

Bec McWilliam is a holistic psychologist. Bec has ADHD herself and diagnoses adults with ADHD.

Dr Dianne Grocott is a psychiatrist with 30 years experience in private & public practice who specialises in ADHD & Addiction Psychiatry. In 2015 she co-founded the Victorian Adult ADHD Interest Group to share expertise and resources to improve the lives of their patients with ADHD.

After our episode on Imposter Syndrome, Laura received a DM asking what she was afraid of losing. 

“I would love to understand more about what Laura is afraid of losing? She seems so confident and content with such a wonderful life. If you lost it all, are you afraid of losing relevance? Money? Friends? 

It got us both (and Producer Lindsey) thinking and so this week we share what it means for us.

PLUS! We asked you about your awkward running stories…and there was a very common theme to your stories 💩

Georgie Sian is mum to two-year-old Frankie and five-month-old Billie and one half of the TikTok account Georgie and Zac with her partner. Georgie shares her life open and vulnerably online but this week Georgie sits down with Steph in her first podcast interview.

Georgie shares about the differences between Frankie & Billie’s births, including delivering a breech baby (Frankie) vaginally, and an emergency Caesarean (Billie), the post-partum experience for both, including hair-loss, intrusive thoughts, and Dysphoric Milk Ejaculation Reflex, and how her relationship with her partner Zac has changed since welcoming a second bub into their family.

From Georgie: Kids are meant to push boundaries so it's our job to firmly hold boundaries with love. Modelling the way we want them to deal with situations is so important because they learn from what they see not what they are told.

We alllllll know Instagram is a highlight reel but sometimes it’s good to be reminded. This week Steph shares a bit more about her and Josh’s recent babymoon and what didn’t make it to the grid. And if you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “I wish I could run with my partner like Laura & Dalton do”...think again.

In March 2018 Steph Kelly was in a car accident that changed her life. Steph received injuries to her neck, ribcage and shoulder, but months after the crash, her digestion wasn’t back to where it had been before the accident. What followed was years of sickness, time spent in hospital, and a lot of trial & error, before eventually landing on a solution that means she now receives her nutrition via her veins.

In this episode we sat down with Steph to learn about the events that have lead up to now, what her day-to-day looks like, how she feels about her body, and what she wishes more people knew about invisible illnesses.

Y’all know we love the Shameless podcast and when we heard their episode ‘That’s that on imposter syndrome’ we both had LOTS of thoughts. Today we open up about how we feel about the term itself, if we identify with it, how it shows up in our lives, and what we do to manage it.

Plus! It’s been a little while since we spoke about dating apps so we asked you what they’re like right now. Spoiler alert…not great.

In the FIVE years since Dara (DJ Tigerlily) was last on the podcast, both she & Steph have had babies and now they’re both pregnant with baby number two!

In this episode Steph catches up with Dara to check in with how she is going with her first-born Lando and her second pregnancy. They chat through Dara’s career as a DJ, finding the balance between motherhood and work, being away from Lando while touring, mum guilt, and just how much fun it is to be a mum too.
