ADHD, dating disasters, girlhood chaos, crying over washing. Tap in wherever you are.
We get into why ADHD brains are neurologically wired to seek dopamine, which means we are far more likely to develop addictive patterns than the average person. But addiction doesn't always look like what you think.
The chaos starts here. We dive into our personal journeys with ADHD, mental health, and the decision to start this podcast. First one's always a bit of a mess. We kept it in.
One of the most painful parts of ADHD — rejection sensitive dysphoria. We get into the specifics: what it feels like, how it wrecks relationships, and why it's wildly undertalked about.
Whether you're thinking about starting meds, mid-titration, or just curious — this one's for you. No scaremongering, no evangelical enthusiasm. Just two people who've been through it.
If you’re a woman with ADHD and feel like your symptoms get dramatically worse before your period — this is why. In this episode, we break down the science of estrogen and dopamine, why PMS is amplified in ADHD, how progesterone blocks dopamine, and why your medication may feel less effective during your luteal phase.
We share our own experiences of being love bombed, staying in abusive dynamics, questioning healthy partners, and learning that love isn’t supposed to feel like a rollercoaster.
We share our personal experiences of ADHD, including emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, masking, and feeling different growing up. We also talk about the relief that comes with finally understanding your brain and how diagnosis can completely change the way you see yourself.
For years we both thought our burnout meant we were lazy, overwhelmed or simply not good enough. But after being diagnosed with ADHD we realised something completely different was happening.
In this episode, we talk honestly about what that experience actually feels like, and why so many people with ADHD struggle with feeling alone.
We have an honest conversation about what ADHD really feels like. From hyperfocus and creativity to burnout, guilt, and task paralysis, we break down both the strengths and the struggles that come with an ADHD brain.
We get into one of the most misunderstood labels attached to ADHD. Yes, a lot of us are attention seekers. But the real question is why — and whether that term is even fair.
Addiction doesn't always look like what you think. It looks like impulsive online shopping at midnight. Four Nintendo Switches bought and sold within a year. A sourdough phase. A Pilates teacher training course you haven't finished. A slow cooker used exactly once. A vape. A matcha. A DIY shed built alone with a bread knife and a lot of blood.
