ADHD AF Laura Mears-Reynolds

Many late discovered ADHD adults find it hard to know where to begin when it comes to ADHD Unmasking.  In this micro-episode ADHD Coach Meghann Birks gives us her top tip to help unpick those negative beliefs we've accumulated to help us find our authentic selves.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Meghann on her amazing Podcast: Sisters in Stoke and we've been in semi constant contact ever since. This Canadian LEGEND lives in Melbourne and she's all heart, humour and wisdom.  Meghann invites us all to  ''f**k around and find out!"
We go on a little side-quest about internalised mysogyny, beauty standards and body image issues, but somehow Meghann uses her time wizardry to cram her Unmasking knowledge into a short TITBIT episode.
I look forward to sharing more from Meghann soon!

TW: Contains swearing and some potentially triggering topics including: Body Image Struggles, Self crticism, internalised misogyny, the patriarchy, beauty standards and unhealthy ideas about weight. But only to highlight the toxicity of all of the above!
SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID AND YOU ARE ENOUGH!

Knee Deep in Life LEGEND Laura Belbin empowers women through humour and realism in all it's sweary, messy glory.  She gives the finger to those who have ever labelled anyone as 'too' anything and wants you all to know YOU ARE ENOUGH!
The legendary Laura is about to take her stand up comedy on tour... and guess what it's called 'TOO MUCH' - we're cut from the same cloth and  I BLOODY LOVE THIS WOMAN! Can't say thank you enough for this very special conversation (which was actually 2 hours long continuing long after we stopped recording, THAT'S HOW AMAZING SHE IS!) Nobody should ever 'avoid eye contact in the playground' with this absolute ICON who implores everyone to celebrate every lump, bump and imperfection of life and to show kindness to ourselves and to all.

TW: Contains very strong language, graphic sexual content and mentions of sensitive subject matter including: Suicide, Depression, Suicidal ideation Home/Work/Family/Relationship Struggles, Parenthood struggles, mental health difficulties, and bullying.
