Hello lovely listeners!! Strap in for a goodie this morning as we have the incredible producer Keeshia joining us to lift the cloud on ADHD!

Keeshia may be best known as producer Keeshia on the "Life Uncut" podcast. Recently she has started her own podcast called "Cloud" which she created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis; a conversation that was sparked after Keeshia’s own diagnosis. The name Cloud is inspired by the experiences of many late-diagnosed women who describe finally feeling like a “cloud was lifted” after learning more about the different ways that their brains work and how they ‘fit’ into society.
With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, she’s been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. 

We speak with Keeshia about the following topics:

•ADHD diagnosis journey, in particular hesitations with starting the diagnostic process and then sharing.

•One consistent topic that comes up for us with clients is "I want to explore ADHD  but I don't want to be dismissed, 'or be part of a trend'. Keeshia shares advice for anyone who wants to explore ADHD but is fearful of 'jumping on the bandwagon'.

•How your relationship with yourself has changed since your diagnosis.

•What you noticed about the impact of undiagnosed ADHD on your relationships with those around you. 

We couldn't have loved our time with Keeshia more, she is so articulate, vulnerable and generous in this interview. We hope you love it too!

Let us know what you think in the comments.

Happy listening,

Aimee and Kat
