Episode #307 She’s Neurospicy and Authentically Living Life with Moana Nicholson

from Walnut Wednesday · host Lara Gieseke

This week I got to chat with my ol friend, Moana, about her journey through her ADHD diagnosis and what life after diagnosis looks like for her. We talk about ADHD burnout, getting diagnosed as an adult - a slither of motherhood and postpartum - the different presentations of ADHD, masking, medical mysogny, relearning as an adult, trying to unmask and letting go of shame.Mo says: " I’m a wife, mum to two boys, and a paediatric nurse. On paper, I’m a well-functioning adult; in reality, I’m a well-intentioned chaos goblin trying to keep up with my own brain. Diagnosed with ADHD in April, I’m finally starting to make sense of myself."Get in touch with Moana on Instagram @moana_skye and come hang out with me in all the places at @walnutwednesday
