"People get kind of shocked a little bit, And maybe even a little angry sometimes when they read the title of my book, the myth of the ADHD child, because they think I'm saying that there are no ADHD symptoms...."

In our first The Focus episode, I'm joined by Thomas Armstrong, educator and author, as we delve into neurodiversity within children, specifically those diagnosed with ADHD. Thomas asks us to widen our understanding of adhd and how we see this presented, from early years to teenage years to adult life. 
 
What you will learn:

• The power of harnessing neurodivergent strengths
• Alternative strategies to medication; nature, martial arts, meditation
• The importance of language 

The Focus: The Focus episodes welcome experts from the Neurodiversity space to share the latest facts, findings and research. It's time to cut through the noise and know what's what.

As we wrap up Season 2, Mamta shares an overview of what we've learnt and who we have heard from over the past 12 weeks.

As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness this week ( 15 - 21 May), we spotlight Anxiety, a normal emotion we all face in some shape or form. But when it becomes too much, and insufferable, it's time to find help. And with all our guests, we know there is no shame in that.

There is love, understanding and support here for you!

“To be more…to do more”

There is a point in everyone’s life where we have a moment of reflection, introspection on what our lives are, have been and could be. What are you likely to do when this moment arises?

In this week's episode, I’m joined by Psychologist & Founder, of EncouragingHER, Priscilla Akutu-Carter as we uncover ways you can take full advantage of your moment, your chance to recreate your life.

Engage your curiosity, test out your interests and find your strengths - these are some of the tips Priscilla has found and shared with fellow women, specifically domestic abuse survivors. You will learn to see your evidence-based strengths in your life to understand who you are, irrespective of the abuse.

“How do I explain years of self-hate? You know, how do I tell you that I hate myself?”

Love, and the love for ourselves especially, is a vital emotion that we learn in childhood that we sometimes, often, forget as we move into adulthood.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ngozi Cadmus, Founder & CEO of Frontline Therapy, as we discuss the intricate details of high functional depression. We talk about the impact of bullying and what this can leave inside of you, even years after the fact. Ngozi shares her first insight on how she grew her love, to not only love herself but life itself.

**Trigger Warning: This episode discusses abuse**

In this episode, I’m joined by Jeff Spiteri, as we delve into the impact of abuse & trauma. Trauma has a lifelong impact, and as we hear Jeff’s story, we can see how you have the power to take control on the type of impact it has on you.

You may not have the right tools or support system, but one thing we all have is the power of awareness. Just knowing that this is not right, or this is not the life you want, can jumpstart a new timeline for you, just as Jeff did.

We discuss the impact of trauma, relearning emotional regulation, and accepting what the healing journey looks like (and that it never ends).

**Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide**

Intrusive thoughts are something we all experience, to various degrees. You could suddenly get an image of yelling in church, or jumping out of a moving car.

It’s what we do after these thoughts, that is what’s important.

In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Shaun Flores, OCD advocate, as well as creator - in all senses. Shaun takes us on a journey of understanding the misguided & misinformed of an OCD diagnosis. We delve into the common faces of OCD, the misinformation surrounding OCD and how you can learn to trust yourself (not your thoughts).

Can you feel when something is coming on? Do you understand the triggers for your mind and body?

This week I’m joined by the one and only Sonya Barlow, Founder of LMF Network, as we jump into one reality of mental health and chronic pain.

It may be “easier” to push through the pain, but in the long run you will have to sit with, listen to your body and try understand what it’s telling you. We’ll uncover some tips to give yourself the space to not only learn about yourself, but space to reimagine, recreate a life you want.

You are not just one thing! Right?

In this episode, Caroline Ribeiro-Nelson, Founder, of Free Choices, joins me as we unravel the world of diverse mental health.  In a world where everyone is put into different boxes, we don't look at how those boxes interact, intersect and sometimes collide with each other.

You'll hear insight to raise your empathy, tips to manage the accumulation of life while reprioritising your mental health & all it's different boxes.

If not now, then when?

We’ve heard that before in different ways, but Sumeena really took this leap of faith into the unknown - before it became popular.

In this episode, I’m joined by Sumeena Gupta, owner of multiple hospitality businesses in Bali and coach to multiple female founders.  There are times when you can plan, and calculate your moves, but eventually it gets to the moment where you have to "just figure it out”. The moment where you surrender to your true self, your authentic self, the one that is “too much”.

You’ll hear how Sumeena took “you’ll figure it out”, literally, but also how you can implement steps to charge your spark, leave space for curiosity and minimise the amount of resistance you have in life.

How much do you listen to your body? Do you know your language of your emotions?

Isn’t this something we’re all trying to know more about, or should want? As we navigate the crazy external world, our internal selves - emotions, thoughts - can stay just as hectic. But is this what’s good for us?

This week, I’m joined by Dr. Clara Doran, Founder of Brain The Noggin People, as we go through some steps to uncover what we can all do, to manage our brain health. It’s not just about recognising the red flags of potential mental health issues, but about spotting the smaller signs so you won’t have to deal with your red flags.
