    Writing Through Neurodivergence with Gail Doggett ADHD Writing Coach

    What happens after the dopamine high of selling your book proposal wears off? Alice talks with ADHD book coach Gail Doggett about the lonely, messy middle of writing a book when you’re neurodivergent. They get into the belief gaps that show up when you’re doing something big, why publishing can feel like tumbleweeds and sudden exposure, and how to actually prioritise your writing when your brain has other plans. Gail shares why book doubling works, how to match your capacity to your time, and the case for making things that bring you joy (even when you don’t need two pencil cases). You can find Gail at Whizzy Brain on SubstackTikTok and Instagram: @bookdoublingSet up a call with her: https://calendar.app.google/3MqRBCaVJmJVw7VHA This is a public episode.

    Asking for help, so much easier than it sounds

    If you’re AuDHD and struggle to ask for help, you’re not broken. You’re responding exactly how your nervous system learnt to respond. In this episode, I explore why asking for help feels so impossible for many neurodivergent adults - from the energy it takes to explain, to the years of unmet needs, to the conditioning that taught us our worth depends on managing alone. Drawing on both my professional experience and my own journey as a late-discovered AuDHD person, I offer a reframe: asking for help isn’t weakness. It’s nervous system safety. And it’s something we’re all learning to believe is possible. This is a public episode.

    Why Boundaries Feel Impossible When You're Neurodivergent

    If you're neurodivergent, setting boundaries probably feels genuinely impossible. Not just hard - actually impossible. In this episode, I break down the real reasons why: How your nervous system responds to boundary-setting as a threatThe conditioning that convinced you your needs don't matterWhy neurotypical boundary advice never worked for youThis isn't about willpower or being "strong enough." It's about understanding what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system. I'm a registered mental health nurse, interpersonal psychotherapist, and therapeutic coach. I'm also ADHD and autistic (diagnosed at 47 and 50), so I get it both professionally and personally.

    When You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore (Or never have)

    Have you ever frozen when someone asks "What do you want?" - not from overwhelm, but because you genuinely don't know? In this first episode, Alice explores self-trust for late-discovered neurodivergent adults. We dive into why decades of masking means many of us never learned to trust ourselves in the first place, how people-pleasing becomes a nervous system survival strategy, and practical steps to start rebuilding that trust. Includes the "small decisions practice" - a gentle way to start reconnecting with your preferences without the pressure of getting it perfect. This is a public episode.
