this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Stuart for a deep and honest conversation about ADHD hyperfocus, AuDHD, obsessions, dopamine chasing, rabbit holes, and the reality of living with a neurodivergent brain.

We talk about:

• What ADHD hyperfocus actually feels like

• The difference between hobbies and hyperfixations

• Falling down research rabbit holes for HOURS

• Hyperfocusing on people, TV shows, true crime, religion, languages and random interests

• Why ADHD brains struggle with boundaries

• The funny side of neurodivergent obsessions

• Burnout, dopamine crashes and losing interest suddenly

• ADHD vs AuDHD hyperfocus differences

• Social media, creativity and content creation

• Childhood obsessions and growing up neurodivergent

This episode is funny, relatable, chaotic, emotional and VERY ADHD.

If you’ve ever opened one tab and ended up researching an actor’s dog at 4am… this one’s for you.

Is this something we should discuss in our next podcast? Let me know?

Sometimes we don’t need advice — we just need a moment to breathe. 🌿

This guided mindfulness session is for the exhausted minds, anxious hearts, and overwhelmed nervous systems needing a little softness today.

“I don’t think I’m getting worse… I think there’s a reason for this.”

If you’ve got ADHD and you’re going through perimenopause, you might feel like your brain has suddenly changed — like everything that was already hard has just become harder.

In this episode, I go a bit deeper into why that might be happening.

We get into:

• how hormones like oestrogen affect dopamine (and why that matters for ADHD)

• why focus, memory and emotional regulation can feel worse

• the impact of sleep, overwhelm, and brain fog

• and why this isn’t you failing — it actually makes sense

If you’ve been feeling like you’re “losing it” or not coping the way you used to…

you’re not imagining it.

There is a reason for this — and understanding it can help you be a bit gentler with yourself.

“I don’t think I’m getting worse… I think my brain is just overwhelmed.”

“I feel like I’m just pretending…

and one day people are going to realise I don’t actually know what I’m doing.”

The worst part?

You can be doing really well… and still feel like a fraud.

I talked about imposter syndrome in today’s episode — especially how it shows up with AuDHD and masking.

If you’ve ever felt like this, you’re not alone.

Do you ever feel like you come across as “too intense” when you’re just trying to connect with someone?

In this episode, I talk about why I ask so many questions when I’m getting to know people — and how it can sometimes be misunderstood.

For a lot of us with AuDHD, connection isn’t surface level. We want to understand people properly, but that can come across as too much, too fast, or even a bit “weird.”

This isn’t about being too intense… it’s about being genuine, curious, and wired for deeper connection.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to hold yourself back or tone yourself down just to fit in — you’re not alone 💜
