Writer and TedX Speaker Stacey Heale shares 'honest conversations on how to rebuild your life after hard times’… and we are so grateful to this legendary lady for her honesty and insights in this wonderful conversation. 

At 43, Stacey is freshly diagnosed with ADHD. The Mother of two, and jack of all trades is just as chaotic as we are! Part of our ADHDAF mission is to eradicate the shame around the symptoms and struggles we battle daily and to celebrate the messy ‘too-muchness’ and rebellion so many of us relate to. Which is why we ADORE this blether and this woman so much! We are no strangers to the shame of our ineptitude at 'adulting' adequately, and alongside experiencing this; Stacey gives us her perspective of Motherhood with the neurodevelopmental condition. How it feels when the chaos is no longer just your own, as it also affects your children.  ADHD Medication and self compassion post diagnosis has improved Stacey's life enormously. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH STACEY, we can't wait to read your book!

This is a VERY IMPORTANT and emotional episode in which we learn the extent of the sacrifices faced by Disability Campaigner Cat Owens due to undiagnosed ADHD. Though yet to be confirmed, it is suspected that Cat has been on the wrong medication for SEVENTEEN YEARS -at great cost!

Cat's story helps us understand the drive for ADHD Activism.  NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US! We are all in this together.
In demystifying the politics surrounding ADHD, we uncover further unexplained mysteries from the Parliamentary Debate... WHERE ARE THE MISSING NUMBERS?!

This is a call to action: PLEASE download Rachel Charlton-Dailey's template letter: Tell IPSO to change the discrimination clause NOW! We've intentionally left it to the last minute as it's when we both spring into action - MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN HERE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING CAT, YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID.  What's more, it is ESSENTIAL amidst the current ADHD Diagnosis crisis! Our guest Louise O'Mahony's experience is a perfect example of why.

Berlin and Brighton based Fashion Designer Louise is yet to receive an ADHD diagnosis.  An admin error sent her to the back of a very long queue she thought she'd already been on for months!  Whilst awaiting assessment, Louise has found conversations with other ADHDers, online information and podcasts like ours invaluable in supporting herself through this period of diagnosis and treatment limbo. Our podcast was secretly listened to by Louise's boyfriend to gain insight into what she might be experiencing to support her... THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR HOW MUCH WE LOVE THAT!

Louise is literally QUEEN of Dopamine Dressing! You'd be hard pushed to find a festival field without many fashionistas frolicking in her famous L.O.M. designs!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US LOUISE!
We hope to blether with this legendary lady again post diagnosis.

It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week and we have got the perfect blether for the occasion! The wonderful Priyanka Patel AKA @littlemiss_adhd_  hops aboard the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster with us and alongside sharing her experience she also highlights how following our passions leads ADHDers to thrive. Her positivity is inspiring and this chinwag has helped reframe Laura’s perception of her achievements.

‘Quite often the focus is on the challenges rather than the many strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, ever neurodivergent individual has a unique pattern of strengths and challenges. It is important to harness the strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals, this helps to build confidence and self-esteem, and ensures individuals are given the opportunity to flourish in their day-to-day’ - @neurodiversityweek
