"Is this my intuition... or just my ADHD anxiety attempt at self sabotage?" 🤔
Does some variation of this question ever cross your mind? I have asked it of myself MANY TIMES 😂 In this episode, we're diving deep into the tricky balance of trusting your gut when you have ADHD.
We'll explore the fine line between listening to your intuition and identifying when it's just anxiety, overthinking, or other ADHD symptoms getting in the way. I’ll share some of my personal stories—times I ignored my gut (didn’t end well!) and times I pushed through, and how I’ve learned to tell the difference.
As usual I’ve sprinkled in some researched advice and anecdotes to help you hone that intuitive voice inside and know when it’s time to trust it—or when to gently push through the resistance.
Get ready for some fun tips, a few laughs, and practical strategies that you can start using today to make trusting your gut easier than ever!

This week's topic really is what ADHDFest is all about! That perfect mix of practical ADHD tools, science based self development and just a dash of actual magic ✨ Affirmations are used in pretty much every self improvement system at this point but can we make them ADHD specific? Where we not only focus on ADHD symptoms but also tweak the technique to be less dull and more dopamine friendly 🤔 . Well I've given it my best shot at creating just that, so I say yes! I'm also going to share how affirmations helped to smash through my severe social anxiety, to the point I can't relate at all to how I used to feel 🙌
And don't forget to send me your affirmation requests for the new subliminal, coming soon ❤️❤️❤️

So this week has been a sticky one for me, podcast wise. If you listened to last week's episode you will know why. But in a nutshell, I am away from home, with no quiet space to record in and no real technical set up even if I did 😭. So rather than miss a week/put out something I don't feel proud of, I thought I would look back through the past 60 or so episodes since ADHDFest's inception and put 5 of my favourite snippets all here for you in one handy dandy episode.
Yes, it's always better to get an in depth view with a full episode on each topic but let's face it, with ADHD, we don't always have the patience to sit through 5 full episodes 😂! A summary of 5 in 1 is so much better than none.
I will be back next week with your usual content but for now, please enjoy!
Episode Titles Included:
1 - Are You always Late? How to Combat ADHD Time Blindness
2 - Diary of an ADHD Burnout
3 - 4 Simple steps to make New Habits Easy
4 - ADHD Task Paralysis: Most Effective Hack
5 - Your Neurotype has Nothing to do with Your Worth

This week's episode covers a topic very close to my heart ❤️. It is the area I am most proud of and have made the most progress in since my diagnosis.

I cannot WAIT for you to try this because it's blowing my mind 🤯.
Little naive me has always desperately tried to stick to a schedule. I long for habit and routine! But those of us with ADHD have come to the painful realisation - it's damn near impossible 😮💨... until now. Yes, at the grand old age of 37, I suspect I've cracked it 💪
The first of the two strategies I've dipped in and out of for a while, as it does work well for the short time I can keep consistent with it. But when I recently discover the second strategy and paired the two together, that's when the magic started to happen.✨
I really hope this works as well fo you as it has been for me but as always.... remember this is trial and error. There's no one size fits all but there is a fit for YOU.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Screenshot the episode and tag me on your socials so I can share with our community ❤️

Hello my lovely ADHDFest gang ❤️
This Bonus episode shares my best tips to reduce those pesky side effects when you first try ADHD medication 😬. I'm posting as a bonus rather than a regular Friday episode as this is not going to be relevant to everyone but....
Great for those in that titration spot right now or anyone curious about some of the tougher parts of stimulants. 🙌
Maybe you're still deciding whether to try meds or not.🤔 But here are some things that got me through the dry mouth, low appetite etc.
As always DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, psychiatrist or medical expert - please consult your doctor before taking medication or adjusting your dose etc.

📖 Ready for story time???
Today's episode came straight from the divine 🔮. I'm serious! During a meditation I felt pulled to tell you about my day and I had no idea why. It didn't seem to connect to ADHD or the Law of Attraction at all but my intuition kept nudging me all the same. So I sat down to reflect on what happened and how you might find value in it and IT HIT ME! It turns out it might just be one of the most important lessons we late diagnosed ADHDers need to internalise 🙌✨
Slightly longer at just over 30 minutes but if you can stay with me to the end, I know you can benefit.

In today's episode we're doing some serious myth busting 💪
Using studies, statistics and my personal experience I'm diving into 10 of the most prolific myths surrounding ADHD and why they simply cannot be true. It's easy to attack people that believe and perpetuate this nonsense, write them off as dumb, ableist, old fashioned prejudiced bigots - but the truths is ...I spent a long time believing this stuff myself! 🤯😬 It's such a big topic and so new to mainstream awareness, it's possible there are things on this list that will come as a shock to you.
We don't know what we don't know. Most of our "knowledge" is picked up through osmosis from society, family, headlines and social media "experts" and we don't always have the time to research into these big complex topics until it directly affects our every day lives. All we can do is educate ourselves and if we have the energy, educate others too - this episode is my contribution 😊
One thing to remember is, it's what you know that matters. You don't need to convince anyone of anything, ever. Being honest with yourself about who you are without judgement and making decisions from there is the only thing within your control.
......that and subscribing to the podcast 😉 Rate, Review, Subscribe, Screenshot and Share! Particularly with those you think need to hear this, it really makes all the difference, thank you 🙌

One of the reasons ADHDFest was born was to gain clarity on what ADHD actually MEANS for adults in their everyday lives. ADHD can't be cured so it's important for us to get clear on what issues are just a part of the condition and what issues are separate parts of our personality and limiting beliefs that CAN be worked on and possibly eliminated 🤔 The research and studies just aren't there yet so if we want answers we are going to have to share and compare our experiences as a community ❤️
In that spirit, today I share my experience of resisting expectations of other (and myself) and comparing it with the description of PDA (Pathalogical demand avoidance) an aspect of neurodivergence that is acknowledged but very poorly researched.

Discovering your neurodiversity in adulthood can be a shock to the system, it takes time to really understand the gravity and effect it has had on you. Post diagnosis, there can be a "skill regression". Symptoms become worse overnight as your coping mechanisms fall apart and this has a real impact on people's career. This is not something within your control, many ADHD'ers are prone to people pleasing and really WANT to be amazing at their jobs. They feel like failures when inevitably their symptoms cause them to underperform.
On the flip side of the coin, I have heard more and more complaints from neurotypical peers about colleagues, newly diagnosed with ADHD, who are missing deadlines/missing meetings etc at work and when questioned their answer is "I can't do it because of my ADHD". They are frustrated at "picking up the slack" and (mistakenly) feel it's "just an excuse".
Neither party is happy with this situation, but I have GREAT NEWS.....
The solutions can be extremely simple. Honestly! Both sides needs can be met with just a little negotiation and we can all, be happier within the workplace.
Because those late-diagnosed are brand new to the complexities of ADHD, they can find it difficult to advocate for themselves. Most struggle to even know what might help them! Mix that with HR and traditional businesses being mostly uneducated on neurodiversity - of course nobody knows what to do! So in today's episode I'm going to give you step by step instructions on what is available and help in creating a reasonable adjustments plan to suit both you AND your manager.
I would love to know if this has helped or if you already have a reasonable adjustments plan in place with more tips to share with our ADHDFest listeners. Contact me via the links below ⬇️
