The Quiet Parts

Hi! I split Ep. 3 and Ep. 4 into two separate parts. In Ep. 3 we talked about ADHD—what’s happening in the brain and how that connects to motivation, attention, and memory as cognitive functions, not traits you can switch on and off. We also covered practical ways to support yourself. In this episode, we dive into the social and systemic barriers to accessing an ADHD diagnosis. Spoiler: if you’re not a 12-year-old hyperactive boy, getting properly assessed is much harder than it should be. Tune in to find out why.

Hi!!

my favourite ep yet! Come chat about the what, why and how of adhd. Motivation, memory, and attention aren't something you can turn on/off! :)

Hi!This one is the most personal, diving a bit deeper into my story and why ADHD is such a huge passion of mine. ADHD stems from a wacky prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, the brain’s reward cycles, and various neurotransmitters. That means things like motivation, attention, memory, and impulse control are brain-based, not intrinsic personality traits you can “choose” to develop.

We also chat about why therapy often doesn’t work the same way it does for depressive or anxiety disorders, and why the diagnostic criteria for ADHD are messy, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Stay till the end for my personal tips and tricks. <3

Hope you enjoy, learn something, or feel a little more relieved.

What if it’s not your fault?
Get to know me first, then follow along as I break down the difference between mental health and mental illness—and why it matters. Drawing from the Dual Continuum Model I studied in behavioural neuroendocrinology, we explore how language shapes perception. When the lines blur, we start pathologizing normal responses—and blaming ourselves for real illness.

Welcome to the Quiet Parts podcast! My note to you before the journey begins! <3
