Ben Holmes of Guiding Light Podcast - Episode 82
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.
Check out the Guiding Light Podcast at theguidinglight.co.uk and on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, and check out HSIHADHD episode 54 with Ben's co-host Chris Gilham.
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. 🙃
Production and music by Jordan Lane.

Examining Your Default Settings - Episode 77
Robbie and Jordan ring in 2024 by trying to reframe the usual "New Year, New Me" resolution talk that takes place every January. What if instead of focusing on cultivating new behaviours, we instead examine the existing ones we rarely think about?
Special thanks to hart caplan of Nightingale Counselling for inspiring today's discussion.

Customer Reviews
Gratitude
I’m in tears listening to these from the beginning. Cannot thank you enough for helping me to articulate myself better. Cannot properly express my gratitude and the catharsis I am feeling over the feeling of being understood ❤️So much love to you both.So grateful to find you.
Life-saving and life-affirming and not at all toxic!
After receiving my diagnosis just last week, listening to Robbie and Jordan has been a revelation.
Relevant and Comforting
After months of learning about the connections of my life and ADHD symptoms with my therapist and then months of searching for a doctor accepting new patients, I was finally diagnosed this week with ADHD and began treatment just two weeks before my 40th birthday. So these two sharing their experiences with this same revelation in mid-life feels like they are describing me in so many ways. It’s comforting and it’s also helping me reconcile some things about my sense of self and events from my past and how to move forward. Thank you thank you for putting this out there!
