  1. Never Fully Fitting In. Overcompensating, Internalising and Feeling Exhausted With Bridget Hustwaite

    Never Fully Fitting In. Overcompensating, Internalising and Feeling Exhausted With Bridget Hustwaite

    Most late aged diagnosed ADHD folks have a bit of a moment where all of a sudden the final puzzle piece is put in place and there’s the ‘lightbulb’ revelation of what has been going on all along. It might be from seeing a video on instagram or tiktok of a list of ADHD symptoms and realising that it was a list of your ‘personality traits’.  People have asked me when I first had a bit of insight into potentially having ADHD, and the truth is that I can’t really remember. I don’t know whether this was because I kind of always had the feeling that it was there and maybe just pushed it down, or if the burnout from ADHD had become so bad that I actually have memory impairments. Today’s guest is a bit similar to me in this way. Bridget Hustwaite is an author, presenter and broadcaster. You’d likely know her from her days gracing the airways at triple J, or from either of her fantastic books ‘how to endo’ and ‘figuring out 30’.  We spoke about: The symptoms of ADHD Bridget had prior to diagnosis and what she struggled with The ‘internalising’ aspects of ADHD  Do we have memory issues or were we just not really present to begin with? Our fears of ‘jumping on the bandwagon’ and the trend of having ADHD The emotional labour of speaking about ADHD with loved ones Comparing the diagnosis of ADHD to endometriosis & why one was more validating than the other Emotional regulation and mood & how it’s shifted with medication Masking, fitting in and friendships You can find more from Bridget Hustwaite on instagram  You can get a copy of Bridget’s new book “Figuring Out 30” here!!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  2. Attention and ADHD. Why None Of Us Can Pay Attention with Johann Hari

    Attention and ADHD. Why None Of Us Can Pay Attention with Johann Hari

    Attention seems to be something that not only us neurodiverse folk struggle with these days. I’ve personally struggled a bit with the whole ‘deficit’ part of the label of ADHD because it doesn’t really seem to be the most appropriate description. For me, ‘unable to control where my attention is focussed’ seems to be more in line but it doesn’t have a ring to it.Today’s guest is the wonderful best selling author of ‘Stolen Focus. Why You Can’t Pay Attention’ Johann Hari. Johann went on a long journey to figure out why all of us seem to be struggling with attention. Parts of his book specifically questioned some of the more controversial sides of ADHD in regards to the biopsychosocial model and medication of kids.  In today’s episode we spoke about: Why none of us can pay attention anymore Why ADHD brains need to be more attuned to the things that can impact focus and attention Diagnosis can often be ‘brain or blame’ - either it’s completely biological and there’s nothing you can do about it, or it’s not completely your biology and therefore you are to blame for not being able to pay attention How food can impact attention How technology is designed to steal our attention Whether we can do anything about it Why sleep really impacts our attention  Some of the reasons behind the controversy of questioning ADHD medication  You can find all of Johann’s books and further information at his website.

    Small Talk & Overwhelm: Is Dating Different When You Have ADHD? With Logan Ury

    How do you go with small talk, keeping the conversation going and not feeling overwhelmed by matches and messages? Do you ever wonder how the people you’re matching with perceive you? I felt all of the above. I hated small talk and found it incredibly boring, I was constantly overwhelmed by the expectation to reply if I hadn’t checked my messages in a little while and I was always worried that I would appear ‘too intense’ to the people I had matched with and I tried to tone myself down so that they wouldn’t be scared off.  Hinge recently conducted some research into dating and ADHD! They examined over 9000 daters on Hinge across the world with a clinical ADHD diagnosis to get a bit of a read of the room on how dating can affect us. Joining the podcast is Logan Ury; Hinge’s Director of Relationship Science. She’s a behavioural scientist turned dating coach and the author of the best-selling dating book, How to Not Die Alone.  In today’s episode we talk: What people with ADHD tend to struggle with on the apps Why small talk is a huge hurdle for people with ADHD How to avoid small talk  Masking and being scared of being viewed as ‘weird’ or unusual Shift vs support responses. What they are and how it will REALLY help people with ADHD Analysis paralysis and the paradox of choice You can find more from Logan Ury at her website   and instagram  You can read Hinge’s ADHD dating report  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Feeling Overwhelmed & Burnt Out? It’s Time To Talk About Regulation & ADHD with Jenna Free

    ADHD and feeling overwhelmed, over stimulated and burnout seem to go hand in hand. A lot of us operate under the ‘go, go, go’ type of cadence with our two modes being full throttle or absolutely nothing. This inevitably leaves a lot of us feeling as though we can never get it together, we’re mentally exhausted all of the time and as though everyone around us is sick of our franticness. Joining the podcast today is certified ADHD therapist, who also has ADHD Jenna Free. Jenna refers to the frantic behaviours mentioned above as dysregulation. Jenna taught me a whole new way to think about managing my ADHD. Her work focuses on regulation and learning to bring ourselves back to a regulated state.  This episode is for anyone who feels like: They are frantically trying to keep up with a to-do list that never ends Your life feels overwhelming while you also feel as though you’re barely getting anything done There is never enough time in the day and you’re always racing against the clock You ricochet between frantically running around panicking and crashing, zoned out and in a paralysis We speak about: Jenna’s experience of being diagnosed later in life and the cross over with postnatal depression A lot of ‘lifestyle’ treatments for ADHD are bandaids and don’t address the underlying cause of burnout Consistently being distracted by tasks while you are meant to be doing a task Identifying dysregulation and being in reaction mode Seeing time as a ‘vertical’ all stacked right in front of us rather than ‘horizontal’ in a linear way How the internal work softens us so we aren’t in survival mode so that we can implement some strategies You can find Jenna’s website and work And her Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Feel Like You’re Too Much? ADHD, Intense Emotions and Validation. CLOUD With Sabrina Zohar

    One of the things that surprised me the most when I learnt more about ADHD was that we tend to all be people with big feelings. I had always thought that I just ‘felt’ things really deeply and that was just the way it was, but it turns out it isn’t a unique experience at all. Whether it’s a result of constantly being told we are ‘too much’ I’m not sure; but what I am sure about is that consistently being told I was too much left me with a pretty insatiable need for validation. Again, I don’t seem to be alone in that either… Joining the podcast today is the wonderful Sabrina Zohar! Sabrina is a relationship expert, entrepreneur and podcast host of the Sabrina Zohar show. I was particularly drawn to Sabrina because of her no b******t, tell it like it is style of communicating. Today we take a big dive into big feelings, our experiences of learning how to accept ourselves and how ADHD has affected our relationships.  We spoke about: Being diagnosed later in life, something really common for women Sabrina’s misdiagnosis of borderline personality disorder, and the dangers of misdiagnosis How we both found ourselves craving validation from people around us How we show up in the dating world when we feel like we are ‘too much’ but also not enough Limerence and hyperfixation on people when you have ADHD Repetition compulsion  How ‘the spark’ can feel different for ADHD brains When to talk about ADHD in relationships   Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 4:40 - Sabrina's diagnosis 7:45 - Being misdiagnosed with borderline personality disorder 9:10 - The symptoms of ADHD that Sabrina experienced 12:30 - Where the need for validation came from 15:00 - Worthiness & how the dial shifted for Sabrina 18:00 - How long does 'the work' take? 22:15 - Being 'too much' but also not enough 25:20 - Limerence and hyperfixation on people when you have ADHD 31:00 - Make them a real person 34:00 - Big feelings and Repetition compulsion  33:50 - How ‘the spark’ can feel different for ADHD brains 37:48 - Dating burn out & chasing 'the highs' 41:10 - Looking for something different in dating 45:30 - When to talk about ADHD in relationships   You can find more from Sabrina’s website  And Sabrina’s instagram You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Mark Manson - ADHD, Novelty & Work. Why Traditional Productivity Hacks Won’t Help.

    For a lot of us with ADHD brains, the idea of working a 9-5 job with stable productivity seems like an unimaginable concept. The ways that we thrive in our careers or our work lives seem to be a little bit left of centre when compared to others. When it comes to structure, goals and productivity, is it best that we listen to the ‘expert’ advice, or do we need to go about it in completely different ways? Mark Manson is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* and Everything is Fcked: A Book About Hope with 20 million books sold in over 65 languages. Mark is also a podcaster,  a youtuber, and a zero f**k giver. Speaking with Mark Manson about his ADHD diagnosis was particularly interesting because in all of the content that he creates, I’d noticed that he had only mentioned it a handful of times. Mark’s relationship with his ADHD brain has evolved over the decades. When he was a teenager, he was medicated and the people around him noticed that his sparkle dissolved and his creativity seemed to dissipate; despite him getting better grades. Mark chose to stop medication, and brute force his way through life. So, how was Mark able to achieve such extensive levels of success despite having a diagnosed attention deficit?  In this episode we spoke about: The ADHD brain and a need for novelty The pros and cons of becoming bored easily Impulsivity and ‘self medicating’ ADHD with alcohol Most goals shouldn’t be accomplished Figuring out the best productivity environments and tools that you respond to The unconventional strategies to help you be productive How to structure your work day, time boxing and to do lists Understanding your own mental tendencies and working WITH them You can hear more from Mark Manson on his podcast “the subtle art of not giving a f*ck podcast” and you can get his books quite literally anywhere in one of the 65 different languages they are published in!

    Lifting The Cloud on ADHD

    Welcome to the brand new 10 part mini series Cloud. Cloud is a podcast series created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis.

With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, I’ve been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. I realised that there was a bit of a gap of what to do next. What was I meant to do with all of this information? Cloud was created to fill that gap. It explores the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being so that we can live more fulfilling and more present lives.Each episode will offer insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson, the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and relationship experts Sabrina Zohar and Logan Ury.
