| ADHD Tax, 'Myths' and LEGENDS with Sara Jane Maxwell | 30 Aug 2026 | 00:43:19 | |
ADHD Tax refers to the financial, mental, and physical costs incurred as a result of living with ADHD. Driven by Executive Function Gaps; ADHD traits like poor working memory, impulsivity, difficulty prioritising, and valuing immediate rewards over delayed ones; create a gap between how your brain works and how societal financial systems expect it to work. Helping me tackle this taxing topic is the wonderful Wealth Coach Sara Jane Maxwell (who I'm lucky enough to be in Lu in Lu Land's Self Love Unleashed Crew with!) Sara help clients claim their financial power and move forward with confidence. I'm so grateful to Sara for sharing her pearls of wisdom in this chinwag and for joining me at our first Live Event as a Charity: ADHD Easy Target on Sunday 6th September at The National Trust's Nostell in Wakefield.

| The Most ADHD Things of September '24 | 23 Oct 2024 | 00:35:37 | |
It's time to have fun whilst raising ADHD awareness! I'm joined by my husband 'Big' to read @adhdafpodcast follower's 'Most ADHD Thing' entries of last month. Each Saturday I ask on socials 'What is the most ADHD thing you've done this week?' to encourage listeners to connect for Peer Support, to laugh at the things that would usually make us cry, to raise ADHD awareness, break the stigma and to eradicate the shame so many of carry after a lifetime of unidentified ADHD. | |||

For the penultimate interview of Season 3, I'm ecstatic to be joined by Meghann Birks. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Meghann on her amazing Podcast: Sisters in Stoke & she previously featured on 2 mini episodes: ADHD Unmasking Hack & People Pleasing Hack; in this episode there are many sidequests;hence the length but Meghann's pearls are too precious to cut! TW: Contains swearing and triggering topics including: an ableist remark made to highlight her previous ignorance and how damaging stereotypes are! Also mentions of eating disorders, alcohol & substance misuse, relationship struggles, family struggles, work problems, mental health crisis, self loathing, depression, anxiety, suicide | |||
