In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie reflect on Megan Nicola’s conversation about the inner voice that shapes so much of life with ADHD. They dig into why self talk can become so harsh, how early experiences and school labels settle into the stories we tell ourselves, and why so many ADHDers learn to motivate through pressure rather than kindness.

Katie opens up about the words she absorbed from childhood reports and how they still colour her self esteem decades later, while Sam explores the moment he realised his own internal dialogue had crossed from unhelpful into harmful. Together they look at why it is so difficult to be gentle with ourselves even after diagnosis, and what it really means to notice shame, pause, and get curious instead of spiralling.

It is a warm, clear look at how the voice in your head gets so loud with ADHD, and what it takes to start replacing old labels with something gentler and more truthful.

This week, confidence speaker and mentor Megan Nicola joins Sam and Katie to explore one of the most universal yet least understood parts of ADHD- the intense, relentless inner monologue. Together they break down why so many people with ADHD live with a voice in their head that sounds more like a drill sergeant than a friend, and what it actually takes to change that lifelong habit.

She breaks down how self talk becomes self sabotage, why masking and people pleasing feed the cycle, and how to shift from shame to curiosity. With practical tools for noticing your patterns, creating emotional safety and building a kinder internal environment, Megan shows what it really takes to turn that relentless inner monologue into something supportive rather than punishing.

In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie look back at what growing up with undiagnosed ADHD was really like, and what they wish they could go back and tell their younger selves.

They talk about parenting with ADHD, breaking unhelpful cycles, and the power of kindness towards your past self. Sam and Katie open up about the moments that shaped them- and the lessons they’d pass on now.

This week, Sam and Katie unpack the landmark government report on ADHD services in England and what it reveals about the system’s failures, costs, and opportunities for change.

They’re joined by Professor Anita Thapar, one of the UK’s leading experts in child and adolescent psychiatry and Chair of the Independent ADHD Taskforce. Together they explore why ADHD can no longer be treated as a niche condition, how underdiagnosis has left thousands without support, and what needs to happen next to fix it.

From early intervention and education reform to tackling the £17 billion cost of neglect, this conversation lays out a hopeful roadmap for what proper ADHD care could look like and why it’s time for action, not waiting lists.

In this bonus episode, Katie and Sam sit down with Chartered Psychologist Dr Lindsey Roberts to take on some of the biggest myths and misconceptions about ADHD.

From the outdated belief that it only affects hyperactive children, to the harmful idea that it’s caused by poor parenting, they explore where these myths come from, why they persist, and the damage they can do. Lindsey also shares her own late ADHD diagnosis, the life-changing impact of medication, and the urgent need for more compassion, awareness and workplace inclusion.

With warmth, honesty and plenty of straight-talking, this is a myth-busting conversation that challenges stigma, sets the record straight, and reminds us why understanding ADHD matters for everyone.

In this episode, Sam and Katie open the inbox to read your messages, answer your questions, and reflect on the moments that connect us all. From family tensions and late diagnoses to burnout, self-compassion and rediscovering who you are once the dust settles after assessments.

They talk about setting boundaries with difficult parents, how to find motivation when everything feels impossible, and what recovery from long-term burnout really looks like. There’s laughter, tears, and plenty of “me too” moments along the way- a reminder that ADHD is something we live with, not something that defines who we are.

This week, author and ADHD coach Dr Tamara Rosier joins Sam and Katie to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of ADHD- emotional regulation- and why it’s so often misunderstood, especially in men.

As part of Movember and Men’s Mental Health Month, they discuss why so many men with ADHD struggle to recognise and express emotions, how that can lead to anger, burnout and shame, and what it really means to live in “hyper” or “hypo” arousal. Dr Rosier explains the neuroscience behind these emotional extremes and shares practical tools for widening your “window of tolerance”- from body check-ins to sensory grounding and even “run-crying”.

Sam opens up about his own experiences of suppressing feelings, self-criticism and learning to sit with discomfort rather than explode, while Katie reflects on how generations of men have been taught to hide vulnerability.

This is a conversation about understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface and why learning to manage your emotions isn’t weakness, but one of the bravest and most transformative parts of ADHD self-awareness.

In this bonus episode, Katie reflects on Sam’s conversation with content creator Holly Morris, whose story explored what it really means to be labelled “away with the fairies.”

Together, Sam and Katie dig deeper into how language shapes the way women experience and understand ADHD. Katie opens up about her own school years- from masking and “hiding in plain sight” to the pressure of fitting into expectations that didn’t suit her ADHD at all.

They discuss the power of labels like “bossy”, “ditsy”, and “dreamer” and how phrases that seem harmless can shape self-esteem, identity, and even the way ADHD presents in girls and women.

It’s a thoughtful, personal follow-up to Holly’s episode, exploring how awareness starts with the words we use and why changing the language around ADHD in women matters more than we think.

This week, content creator and podcast host Holly Morris is here to unpack the phrase “away with the fairies” and what it really means for women with ADHD. Holly opens up about her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism, the exhaustion of masking, and how years of being labelled “ditsy” or “spacey” shaped her sense of self.

Together, Sam and Holly, explore how those same traits- imagination, sensitivity, and intensity- can also be superpowers, fuelling creativity, empathy and humour. Holly also shares what school was like behind the mask, why she used to “study” other girls to fit in, and how she finally learned to see her differences as strengths rather than flaws.

From the guilt of lateness to the relief of self-understanding, this is a conversation about identity, self-acceptance, and the power of reframing what it really means to be “away with the fairies”- and why it’s time we finally retired the phrase for good.
