This week Jordan is joined by Kate Gobes, a counselor and passionate advocate for neurodivergent people. She tells her story of being diagnosed in her late 20s and the self-rediscovery that came after.
Kate also talks about her work with autistic and ADHD people in individual and couples counseling, and her work in grad school developing a framework to help neurodivergent people think about their differences in a more accepting way.
You can learn more about Kate's practice at embodiedboundaries.ca or check out her TikTok at tiktok.com/@embodied.boundaries. You can also reach her via email at [email protected].

This week Jordan is joined by Ben Holmes of the Guiding Light Podcast.
Ben tells his story of addiction and recovery, and how finding community through 12-Step groups eventually led him to a dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism.
Ben and Jordan also discuss eating disorders among men, particularly binge eating, and the kinds of supports and stigma reduction that are needed for more men to seek help.

JORDAN'S AUDIO NOTE/LISTENER APOLOGY: due to technical issues we had to use Zoom audio for this conversation, and due to further technical issues I didn't realize I a) wasn't recording multiple-speaker output in Zoom and b) was so close to the damn mic. So I am VERY VERY SORRY for the nasty breathing and mouth noises throughout, unfortunately they are literally impossible to mute or mix out due to my bad Zoom setup. Every day I learn and grow. 🙃

This week Robbie and Jordan welcome David Levy of ADHDcounselling.uk and N20 Counselling back for a UK ADHD news roundup.
A recent BBC Panorama documentary featuring reporter Rory Carson stirred up a lot of controversy and inspired a flurry of op-eds. David takes us through some of the responses from both sides of the fence as well as his own thoughts on the matter. Along the way we learn what's new with David's practice, his mental health fanzine The Frame and its upcoming Neurodiversity issue, and why he doesn't like thinking of stimulants as "medication."
David is a BACP-certified Counsellor who practices in-person in London UK, as well as online. Follow David and ADHD Counselling:

This episode is brought to you by Jordan and Stopped Clock Vintage. Check out stoppedclockvintage.com for 800+ pieces of vintage clothing, collectibles and more!
This week Jordan sits down with Arbind Gill, a performer and pharmacist based in Calgary who was diagnosed with ADHD last year.
They get into the ups and downs of adult discovery, growing up knowing you were "different," and how ADHD has impacted her life and career. They also discuss Arbind's creative and performance work in improvisation, music, and video, her love of karaoke, and how to be a sober party animal.
Arbind also talks about about growing up with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the way OCD is misunderstood and mischaracterized in popular culture, and she also corrects some ADHD myths and misinformation about medications and interactions from one of our previous episodes.
You can find Arbind on Youtube and Twitch as Arbdog, check out her videos on How To Win Solitaire Every Time, Eavesdropping in Fire Emblem and the latest instalment of her Marvel Cinematic Universe reviews. You can also see Arbind improvising with Off The Book and check out the rest of her work on her Linktree page.
JORDAN'S AUDIO NOTE: due to a confluence of things going wrong during recording I had to use single-track Zoom audio which had a huge loudness disparity between me and Arbind. I did the best I could to even it out in the editing process but when there's crosstalk it can be hard to hear her.

This week Robbie and Jordan talk about the tensions and contradictions of working for yourself as an ADHD-er. Aspects of ADHD make for good leaders, founders and CEOs, but ADHD people can often be crippled by rejection-sensitive dysphoria, an inability to deal well with critical feedback, and a lack of organization which can make the ins and outs of running a business difficult. Other people believe in us, so why is it so hard to believe in ourselves?
More info on the YMCA Self-Employment Program Robbie recently completed can be found on their website.
