There's a moment in life when you realize the path you're on is not what you expected, sparking a quest for answers; that's precisely what happened to Bruce Macdonald. Join us for an intimate sesh as Bruce bares his soul about the shock wave sent through his life post-wedding that led to an eye-opening diagnosis of adult ADHD. Through his story, you'll journey alongside the struggles and triumphs of living with a hyperactive mind, from the misunderstood social cues in his youth to conquering heavy machinery in the mines.

Humour and heartache walk hand-in-hand as we unravel the entwined threads of personality and coping mechanisms with our guest. I share a slice of my childhood, where laughter became my armour, and Bruce reflects on the introversion that often cloaked his extroversion. We candidly discuss the rollercoaster of ADHD medications that ebbs and flows through Bruce's daily life, and together, we confront the shadows cast by toxic relationships, finding solace in the bright light of self-awareness and mutual support.

We wrap up our sauna sesh with Bruce's tales that meander from the dusty mines to the serene Australian coast, where love and tattoos symbolise life's intricate tapestry. His humorous recounting of his wife's response to her portrait tattoo reminds us of the joy found in companionship. 

Tune in to experience this heartwarming episode that's as much about laughter and love as it is about the search for inner harmony.
