Hi my loves, while I’m still on a short break, I wanted to bring this episode back because it struck a chord with so many of you — and it was the first time I ever opened up about my experience with ADHD.

Getting diagnosed as an adult changed everything for me, but it also hit hard. Nobody really talks about the grief you go through when you realise how different life could have been if someone had just noticed earlier.

In this episode, I talk about the teachers who failed me, the time I got my license suspended and my car impounded (lol), and the GP who bluntly told me I “definitely had ADHD” in the most hostile way possible. I also share how my cycle makes my symptoms 10x worse during my period and what I’ve learned to do about it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating ADHD on your own, or you’re wondering if this might be what you’re dealing with too, I hope this episode gives you some clarity and connection.

I’ll also share how I finally got diagnosed, and the handy little hack that saved me months of waiting!
