Hellloooo besties 

In today's ep Grace is doing unimportant author-y things like promoting her chart topping book while Tara is doing genuinely important things like avoiding washing her colander.

Tara gives insight into why ADHD medication is very personal and specific to each person and why it's a journey not a destination for her.

💌 DIVERGENT DILEMMA: “My mum doesn't believe I have ADHD and she has to fill out my ADHD assessment form for my psychiatrist"

We cover:

• Generational ADHD Gaps – why older generations dismiss neurodivergence.
• ADHD Stigma & Myths – outdated views affecting diagnosis.
• Parental Doubt & Gaslighting – handling family skepticism.
• ADHD & Mental Health - changing views on neurodivergence.
• ADHD Diagnosis Process –  how it varies by location.
• ADHD & AuDHD Assessments – getting diagnosed despite resistance.
• Self-Advocacy in Diagnosis – moving forward without family support.

❤️ Link to write in your "IT FINALLY CLICKED" moment (about the moment that your support person finally understood your ADHD). 

Click here to read about the WA Labour Party's promise about GP diagnosis of ADHD.

🤌 RECS:

• Tara: Gives an update on Kiss Nails and introduces us to Goblin Tools.
• Grace: Recommends big fat keyrings like these.

👻 IREGGY SEGGY: How long does it *actually* take to put fuel in your car or read a book? 🤔 (and to that we say, what kind of book, how long, what's your average reading speed, will you be interrupted?) We attempt and fail to answer this and many other questions as we put our time inattention (previously referred to as time-blindness) to the test.

We will be back in your GNEs* next THURSDAY!

Until then just even try to RSD, we'll find you, and we will HUG it out of you.

Ta and sweet little baby G

xxxxx

Hi bestiessss

On todays episode, Tara’s out of meltdown and is a bit more organised* 

*she’s doing HIGHLY profound things like sewing pants and brandishing bobbins with Chloe Wilder (Listen to Chloe’s ADHD island here),

Meanwhile Grace is taking her journals on a little beach trip (don’t worry she asked them first) in her bid to stay unperceived and allowing herself to be indulgent about meeting her needs.

🫣 RSD corner: Tara completely messed up on the style episode “Alice Bornstein” is actually called ALLISON Bornstein (click here to see her Instagram for sensational fashion advice). We also discuss why ADHDers remember so many details when it’s a hyperfocus but can’t remember someone’s name.

😻 Gorgeous Kate from the UK teaches us how to RSD about whether your cat loves 1. You, 2. Your partner or 3. Their cat tree more 

Important note: She is adorable and we’re obsessed with her 💖

💌 DILEMMA OF THE WEEK:
Nille from Norway asks: "do you have any techniques for when you’re out and about and want to calm your excitability and hyperactivity down in social situations?"

We discuss: 
✅ How cultural attitudes towards ADHD impact self-advocacy
✅ Whether telling people about ADHD & RSD upfront can help communication
✅ The balance between masking for safety vs. embracing your true self
✅ How ADHD stimulant medication, movement techniques & support groups can help socialising

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “too much” in social settings, this episode is for you, baby girl!

🥳 Ireggy seggy TIIIIME!

This week we play "RSDelightful" - a new segment where we read out RSD moments submitted by YOU GUYS and discuss... because we haaaard relate. We also get caught up in a deep dive no one asked for on why ADHDers might struggle with competitiveness while playing games - who knew we had so much to say?

🤌 RECS:

We forgot to do them - VERY on brand  🫠 ✨

We’ll be back in your cute little neurodivergent 👂s next Thursday.

Don’t RSD EVER PLZ 💃🏻

Love ALWAYS Tara and Baby G xxxxxxxx

Oh HIII, bestie babes!

In today's episode, we're ADHD-ing all over each other, and Tara is sick of people feeling bad about oversharing. Oversharing is the new sharing. Okay??? Good.

💌 DILEMMA OF THE WEEK:
Nick asks: "I don't understand the difference between ADHD / AuDHD meltdowns and shutdowns! Can you explain?"

We’re recording this episode just an hour after Tara had an ADHD meltdown—because she wants to show you what an ADHD meltdown actually looks like.

Have you ever felt extremely disconnected, flighty, unfocused, anxious, or struggled to speak or make eye contact? You may have been experiencing an ADHD or AuDHD meltdown or shutdown.

In this episode, we:

• Define how meltdowns and shutdowns feel for each of us in the context of ADHD and AuDHD—physically, socially, and psychologically.
• Explain how they differ and share our personal experiences.
• Break down triggers (sensory overload, emotional overwhelm, executive dysfunction).
• Talk about what helps us and what support people can do.

✨ RECS:

Tara is recommending @femalephysioco for an ADHD-friendly way to schedule pelvic floor exercises.

Grace is recommending the book What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic by Annie Kotowicz. Also, don’t forget to check out the AuDHD chat and other resources in our 🦋 Patreon community! 🦋

We’ll be back in your absolutely stunning 👂 ’s next Thursday.

(don’t bloody ever RSD or we’ll be so, so cross with you!)

theme song plays

Lalalala LOVE, Tara & Grace xx

Hi bestiesssss

This week Tara will apparently do anything for a Dorset accent and Grace is asking for advice on whether she needs new beauty products, however the only answer she will accept is a resounding and supportive yes. We have a lot of fun introducing our new segment 🫠 RSD corner 🫠 where an RSD shared is an RSD halved.

A lovely listener sent us an email with some recommendations including: 

The Samsung digital door lock

Our ADHD emoji texting code

We discuss ADHD stimming (self stimulatory behaviour), self soothing with ADHD and pharmacogenomic testing a type of genetic analysis that looks at an individual's DNA to predict how they will respond to certain medications and potential side effects or a particular dosage.

✨ RECS:
Tara: (pre-rec*) Kiss Impress press on nails  💅
Grace: Vista HD wall Projector 📽️

💌 DILEMMA OF THE WEEK: Karen asks "I feel like I use up so much mental energy choosing clothes every day and I need your help with organization and gamification"

We LOVE this question, and cover:

✔️ Shortcuts for choosing outfits easily
✔️ Apps for styling and cataloguing outfits 
✔️ Photo guides for daily outfit inspiration
✔️ Demand avoidance around outfit choices
✔️ Balancing comfort, style, and personality in clothing
✔️ Style versus fashion: What’s the difference?
✔️ Creating a ‘uniform’ for different occasions (casual, corporate, special events)
✔️ Allison Bornstein’s 3-word method for describing your style (practical, aspirational, emotional)
✔️ Why seasonal wardrobes & de-cluttering are essential for ADHD/AuDHD brains
✔️ Organizing wardrobes in a way that's neuro-affirming for ND brains

Ireggy Seggy: The dreaded PIG in the middle, where in true ADHD fashion Grace forgets what game we’re playing and zones out (we’re so sorry guys) then tells Tara she's fired from the podcast when the dysregulation catches up with her 🫠

Don't forget to: SEND US YOUR 3 WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE!

Love youuu and don't RSD!
Tata and G-Baby xxx

WE ARE BACK, BABY! 🎉✨🫠 And we've missed you all! 💖

We’re kicking things off after Chinese New Year, and in 2025, we’re bringing you a brand new segment you never knew you needed—teaching you *how* to RSD (wait, what?! Don’t worry, all will be revealed).

✨ RECS:
Tara: Double cleansing skincare routine 🫧
Grace: @gaiamusiccollective on Instagram 🎶

💌 DILEMMA OF THE WEEK:
Tahlia asks: How do I make New Year’s resolutions ADHD-friendly? She loves that fresh start feeling but hates her inconsistency! We cover:
✔️ Making resolutions dopamine-friendly
✔️ Why rigid goals don’t work for ADHD brains
✔️ What kind of goal-setting actually sticks
✔️ Keeping goals adaptable & flexible 🔄
✔️ How to be self-accepting & neuroaffirming instead of self-critical

🌝 IRREGGY SEGGY: ADHD NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS - THE BINGO-ISH EDITION  🧐
You sent us your New Year’s pipe dreams… now we see who has actually attempted more of them! Spoiler alert: We both lose (or should we say WIN?!) because, of course, we’ve done them all 👍

Love youuu and don't RSD!

🎄 HAPPY DECEMBER BEAUTIFUL ADHD BESTIES!

Our gorgeous listener from the UK opens the episode for us and we're taking wrong exits and accidentally lying at the drive through.

A big thank you to everyone who tagged us in your Spotify wrapped 🥹❤️

DILEMMA: “I feel under appreciated in my friendship and I can’t stop the RSD”

We discuss:

• Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) in friendships and how it affects our relationships.
• How self-trust in ADHD can be challenging but is key to managing emotional responses.
• The difficulty of letting go of RSD completely while learning to create mental space and teach our brains to pause the emotional reactions.
• Building confidence in our ability to assess social interactions and not allowing others to have control over our emotional responses.

IREGGY SEGGY:

We play the very simply named “PMDDDestroy” where Grace tests Tara’s Premenstrual rage with some of the most rage-inducing concepts you can think of. Think: clapping when the plane lands, Shepherd avocados and 49-bazillion unread/irrelevant messages in the group chat.

RECS:

• Grace recommends a great game to entertain your kids at dinner (that doubles as a way to document your kids/family life and special memories)
• Tara is recommending 'pétillant naturel' sparkling wine ("pet nat"), specifically Dirt Temple’s Pet Nat

Our brains are melting 🫠 with the INSANITY that is the end of year in Australia. The school year is finishing, with rehearsals, concerts, teacher gifts, awards and reports right before Christmas, followed by a 6 week holiday break with our kids home in the sweltering heat. It’s madness. Sooo, we are having a break from our Thurs eps until January... BUT we will continue posting weekly episodes on Patreon, so sign up here if you’re gonna get FOMO (or request as a Xmas gift!)

Sending so so much love and we can't WAIT to be back in your GORGEOUS little neurodivergent ears in January!

Tara & Grace xx

Don't RSD x 10000

Hiii neurodivergent dreamboats!
 
We are popping in with a little update on all the goodies we've been stashing in our Patreon lately because you do NOT want to be missing this... ❤️‍🔥
 
This week in our Patreon-only episode we are bringing you a never-before-heard chat we recorded in the weeks BEFORE we started our podcast... all about Grace's experience being diagnosed and starting medication.

In this episode (initially recorded 9 months ago):

• Grace shares her raw emotions the night before her ADHD diagnosis, audio-journal style
• Straight after the appointment, in our hotel room, Tara & Grace debrief what happened in her psychiatrist assessment - the surprises, awkwardness and frustrating moments
• What starting stimulant medication was like in the first few months, and the differences she noticed
• Grace reflects on her anxiety and the traits she now identifies as AuDHD (but didn't at the time of recording), and how medication has impacted those
• Side effects of medication, including low appetite and weight loss, and why that can be a risk for people with ARFID

Listen to the whole ep on Patreon here!

🎄🎁  GIFT A PATREON SUBSCRIPTION 🎄🎁 

We also hosted a Live Q&A on supplements last week with Tara (registered dietitian), and the Zoom call was recorded and uploaded to Patreon. 
 
 That's all babes! See you for our Thurs ep...
 
 Don't RSD!
 
 Grace & Tara xx

Hello ADHD babes! 🥳✨

This week on Your ADHD Besties:

Grace had a truly chaotic week, managing to both ponk her car and her brows (in unrelated news, Tara was Grace's brow technician but is she getting fired?). 

Important babes!

🦋 DON'T MISS OUR LIVE Q&A CALL ON PATREON TOMORROW!!
We'll deep dive all your questions on supplements, don't miss the call - SIGN UP HERE!

DIVERGENT DILEMMA:

Registered Dietitian Tara helps us to answer the question that everyone wants an answer to: ADHD supplements: Are they worth it?

• Do vitamins, minerals, and herbal remedies actually help with ADHD symptoms like focus, attention, and mood regulation?
• Should you prioritize natural ADHD treatments or stick with prescription ADHD medication like Adderall or Ritalin?
• We deep dive omega 3 fatty acids and break down the science behind their use in ADHD.
• Are ADHD-specific supplements a scam? Find out what might be clever marketing and what could genuinely support brain health and executive function.
• Research Tara cites: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11441986/

If you’ve ever Googled "natural ADHD treatments that work" or wondered about balancing medication with a holistic approach, this episode is a must-listen.

IREGGY SEGGY:

In our Irregular Segment this week we face the greatest fears of an ADHD woman with severe RSD when Grace is exposed to Rhonda the Receptionist and dangerous levels of Greensleeves hold music.

RECS:

• Grace is NOT recommending: Maybelline Lifter Plump 🌶️🥵
• Tara is recommending this Vegetarian Nut Loaf from The Kitchn

Until next Thursday, babes! You KNOW what you can’t do (RSD 🥲).

Hello, stunning ND brains! Ready to join us for some juicy ADHD dilem lems while sipping your metaphorical (or literal) white wine in the sun?

In this week's dilemma, a newly diagnosed ADHD mum asks for help. She's trying to build her dream Etsy shop but keeps getting sucked into hyperfixation rabbit holes on her computer (cute), and is feeling frustrated at her lack of productivity. Sound familiar?

We discuss:

• Unconscious Scrolling: It’s not laziness; it’s unmet needs tapping us on the shoulder. 👀
• Dysregulation 101: Why we’re stuck in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of procrastination—and how to spot it while it’s happening.
• Sensory Needs FTW: Sometimes, focus is just one pair of noise-cancelling glasses (huh?) away. Who knew?
• Body Doubling Magic: Find a bestie (or a stranger on FocusMate) to miraculously unlock your productivity. Mirror neurons for the win, baby.

Grace’s Pearls of Wiz:

Grace reads from her upcoming book, The ADHD Focus Friend (Pre-Order it here!) dropping gems like:

IREGGY SEGGY:

We're playing our second round of 2 truths and a lie, or if we're Tara, are we (yet again... accidentally) playing 2 lies and a truth?? 

RECS:

• Tara is recommending the Christmas song: White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin, and bonus rec: Storm on YouTube.
• Grace is recommending 'Neurodivergent Birthdays' (inspired by ADHD influencer Ellie Midds!)
  
  

Don’t RSD even if you think you’re allowed to just this once, you’re actually not. Okay?

Also join our Patreon (because cute!) and that's where we'll be dropping that sensory needs poster download soon! 👀

Sending alll the love!

Your ADHD Besties Tara & Grace 💕
