    HIGHS & LOWS OF THE WEEK: Sleeplessness, Studies, & Setting Boundaries

    Two ADHD mums trade real highs and lows: the joy of studying from bed during recovery, the frustration of losing access to melatonin in the UK, and the courage to set new boundaries around oversharing. We share a plan to move personal stories to a pay-what-you-can Patreon while keeping info-rich episodes public. • UK melatonin access tightening and workarounds • Comparing sedative sleep meds with melatonin and white noise • Returning to a counseling course from bed for stimulation • ADHD, TMI, and setting safer sharing boundaries • Moving personal highs and lows to Patreon • Pay-what-you-can for first hundred supporters • Info sheets and references as Patreon perks • EHCP assessment progress for a child • Invitation for listener voice notes and questions “Don’t forget you can call us and share your stuff on the phone number that we don’t have on us right this minute. I’ll add that in at the end, a little sting.” Support the show Further TW: This podcast references at times: alcohol abuse, depression, mood disorders, medical emergency, miscarriage, traffic accidents, grief and loss, teen pregnancy, anxiety, abuse, PDA, low self esteem, and anti-depressant medications, disordered eating, hoarding...

    HNY BBZ! Neurodivergent New Year!

    We share a birthday, a Christmas Eve hospital discharge, and the joy of eating salad again while mapping a year of change with tarot, grief work, and ADHD-friendly tools. Caregiving, body doubling, small money wins, and gentle plans build a steadier start to 2026. • early discharge from hospital and fear mixed with relief • Christmas recovery in bed with practical support • food freedom after surgery and 30 plants a week • tarot as a reflective framework for planning • grief around family change and safe ways to cry • pausing ADHD meds during rest and rebuilding capacity • packing paralysis, body doubling, and micro-tasks • selling vintage items for cash flow and momentum • realistic plans for the pod while recovering We’ll get back on it, guys. We’ll have a little schedule. It might be a bit under what we would normally do because of Claire's condition, but soon she’ll "be weller than anyone’s ever known me."

    ADVENT CHAOS CALENDAR: Christmas Highs & Lows Of Our Lives

    Two ADHD mums trade stories of Christmas joy and discomfort, from lost presents and hangovers to noisy rooms, politics at the table, and the ache of watching global tragedy on a festive night. We land on boundaries, gentle traditions, and how divided families can multiply love. • navigating sensory overload and family noise • witnessing global grief while keeping local rituals • feeling displaced in a partner’s family home • calling out racism and unhelpful politics • handling body image comments and comparisons • gratitude for extended family who host and hold • co‑parenting that adds care, not conflict • simple rituals for neurodivergent‑friendly holidays • boundaries for conversation, media, and energy Raise a fist and say it with us.
