Last night I stayed up until 3:30am watching the Super Bowl and only got 4 hours of sleep… so I expected my ADHD to be worse than ever.

But the opposite happened.

My brain felt quieter. I could remember things. I stayed on track in lessons. I even remembered what question I was on when I turned the page — which NEVER happens.

For a few hours, it honestly felt like my ADHD had disappeared.

In this episode, I talk about what that “calm brain” feeling was actually like, why being overtired can sometimes feel like better focus, and why it’s a total trap if you try to chase it.

If you’ve ever had a random “good brain day” and thought

“Why can’t I be like this all the time?”

this episode is for you.

Real talk about ADHD, tired focus, brain noise, and learning to work with your brain instead of fighting it.

This one is just me.

I talk about pitching on stage at a HelpBnk networking event in Liverpool, putting my name in the bucket, pushing through nerves, and somehow walking away with Best Pitch and £500 of support for The Danifesto. But this episode is not really about the money. It is about what happens when you start saying yes to scary opportunities and backing yourself even when your brain tells you not to.

I also share what I am working on with Changing Chances, the Doorbell of Dreams experience, the nerves no one sees, and the mindset shift that has made me realise opportunities do not just happen. You create them by showing up.

In this episode of The Danifesto, I talk about what Liverpool feels like as Christmas approaches and how the city changes at this time of year.

I also share how I’m planning to cope with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day, how I deal with presents and surprises, and how I want to keep the magic of Christmas alive for my little brother Jack. I talk honestly about adjusting to my big brother Paul coming back from uni, and how family dynamics can change over the holidays.

Finally, I share some simple tips and tricks that might help anyone who finds Christmas stressful or overwhelming, especially if you experience anxiety or sensory overload.

This is a calm, reflective episode designed to be listened to slowly, at your own pace.

In this episode of The Danifesto, I talk about what the weeks before Christmas are actually like when you have an ADHD or autistic brain. I go into the excitement, the stress, the sensory overload, the pressure, and why December just feels like a lot. There is so much going on such as lights, music, busy shops, changes to routine, and people asking you to be in lots of different places, and I explain how all of that builds up and makes the whole month feel intense.

I also talk about the good parts too. The cosy moments, the things that feel special, the traditions that actually help, and the parts of Christmas that genuinely make me happy. It is not all overwhelming. There are definitely things that make it worth it and I explain how I try to focus on those.

I also share some simple tips and things that help me handle the season better, like managing sensory stuff, keeping routines where I can, and not putting too much pressure on myself to be perfect for the big day.

If you have ever felt like Christmas is amazing but also a bit too much sometimes, this episode is for you.

In this episode it’s just me talking honestly about my life — my ADHD, growing up, mainstream school, moving to Turning Point Academy, and everything people never really saw.

I open up about how my brain works, the good and bad days, feeling misunderstood, and the moments that actually helped me become who I am now.

I also share what I wish teachers and adults knew about young people like me, and some advice for anyone who feels the same way.

Welcome to The Danifesto — real talk, no filters.
