Love your podcast! And this was another great one! One thing that stood out to me, especially because you interview so many accomplished people, it would be great to hear more conversation around supports, not just like accommodations, but actually support people have found for themselves to help them accomplish their goals, like delegating tasks, building a team to support you, or other creative ways to get support if you are just starting out building a business or writing a book, or doing whatever big goal you have. Or even if you are just trying to make it day to day with small tasks etc. it would be great to hear ways to find support, like they did talk about body doubling and that’s very helpful! Things like that! Thank you!!
Love this Alex ❤
Kat , Ellie and Shappi I have all your books and they’ve been so helpful to me ❤ Thankyou all x
Alex, did you just say "caffeinated squirrels" at 14:58? That is now my new favourite phrase! ♥
Oh yes the instant friendships … I went to Asda the other day for Christmas cards .. got totally distracted by the 8 pence Christmas veg and got chatting to a woman .. we bonded over our daughters who are both at Uni and both ( weirdly ) going to Switzerland for Christmas and we walked out together having a great chat .. I then went to Aldi and told a woman very loudly that she looked “ BLOODY FABULOUS” which apparently made her day .. I actually loved that day ❤
French exit for the win 🥇
My mate calls me Arthur Knight 😂
( half a night )
I’m sober and I just cannot cope with socials now it’s just too much
Always thought it was bipolar OCD and social anxiety… Cuz that's what they said. Both my boys and one other talk like me, can't focus but can sometimes aka hyperfocus just like I do. Hereditary so mine came late after everything fell apart but it's a relief in a weird way
It’s just crazy to me that people can have such successful careers, hobbies and healthy relationships. I can’t even get out of bed most days. Doing things I genuinely like is a full blown battle
Loved this! I’d love to see more of Stacey in future episodes. I really appreciate her honesty, vulnerability and humour🙏💜
Wow I so needed to hear this. I am gradually coming out of the shock of being ADHD at 78 years old. Wow if only I had known………..Oh well up and at em and continue on with my creative life with a renewed outlook. Ps I have passed it on to my daughter and we have an agreement that no judgements or blaming allowed just awareness and patience. It is actually working. Thanks you for this amazing session xx
The trouble is some of us have had people close to us pick gapping holes in everything we say or do. Unfortunately for me that happens to be my own mother (and my father whose now passed). She even berated me for not grieving the right way when her dog died despite me trying to keep it together so I could support her. She even moved village, away from me, after I was assaulted from an attempted rape, because I was too ‘needy’ of support. I have no measure of ‘normal’ after years of this.
Such narcs 😂
I think it is the success is despite the adhd not because of it. The can't is from the comorbidities depression anxiety RSD.
Curiosity and Fear can not exist at the same time ❤ this is really helpful! Really cool, thank you! ❤
😂 that‘s what Mom always said to! She just forgot the Pill, so my brother and me followed our Sister! 😂😂😂
Fabulous discussion… and wonderfully lacking overuse of ADHD jargon… just five emotionally mature adults with excellent communication skills… thank you.
I love this Podcast. Thank you Alex! This episode, wow, such a gift. Feeling very emotional.
Thank you 🎉
I love, love, love the room is TARDIS blue, 'olden times' keeps coming up, and these fabulous women are sharing with me/us that we're okay. I often feel alone in a crowd because I don't see the crowd through what's happening in my head. I wonder if others with ADHD find the chaos and storm in their head actually calming when the 'outside' is so incredibly scary. Sometimes 2 hours in my car outside my house is the best place (alone, quiet, clean . . .). I appreciate your channel so much. Everyone you've had on has offered value. That's rare.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your stories. I find great comfort knowing that there are others out there, with their own challenges, doing good in the world. ❤
This is so lovely.
All but one of my children were inattentive or impulsively conceived. I love them but 😅
PLEASE HAVE DRINKS LADIES .. we all get dry mouth but we hear it on mega phone… I can’t cope with that sound .
Love it all .. yes I too have .
Can someone talk about adhd and hormones with dex meds while going thru menopause please.
My body mind spirt are fucked..
And no one believes me!!!
I’m about to be 51 . 50 turned life around and shoved it back up …
Then spat out
..
Now I can’t tell any of it.. 😢
What an amazing episode and conversation ❤ thank you for gathering such wonderful people.. hearing from fellow scatterbrains that are objectively successful gives me courage to try and accomplish more in my life stop hiding away in fear of falling ❤
