It's the most wonderful time of the year... ALLEGEDLY! I love Xmas usually , but it can be dysregulating AF for people with ADHD which can lead us to beginning the New Year in Burnout!
This is an ADHD toolbox to help navigate the festive period; validating and shame eradicating with the lived experiences of the core operations team of ADHDAF+ Charity and inspired by the 2023 Christmas Tour.
This is the topic for December's eight free ADHD Peer Support Groups in Scotland and England. All of us at the Charity hope you can make your local group and if there isn't one near you yet, that this episode helps you best support yourself this Xmas.
Please remember: It's your Christmas too. Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: Contains swearing, loud laughter, gallows humour(!) and mentions of sensitive topics including; parent loss, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and work struggles, mental health struggles, suicide, addiction, self harm, eating disorders, school struggles, bullying, and medical negligence.
If you are struggling, lo siento. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Please reach out for help HERE
ENORMOUS THANKS to the ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY Kim, Ruth and Kate!

The first actual INTERVIEW I've done in over a year...and back with a bang! AuDHD or just a bit Weird Podcast Host: Jon Hill reckons they're a Leo, but this episode see-saws between tragedy and comedy to such extremes throughout; it's by far the most Gemini episode I've ever made! (and genuinely one of my favourites) So strap yourselves in!

I've gone rogue! A very unique episode recorded in Ibiza in the name of ADHD awareness and to raise awareness about November's ADHD Support Groups to close ADHD Awareness Month 2025.
A rebel with a cause, a griever plotting revenge, and a raver about to hit the town... allegedly! With Lily Allen on repeat...Who's Madeline?! ME TONIGHT! :)
Enormous thanks and apologies to Toni! I really am ADHD..AF!
