Episode 36: ADHD, Motherhood, Menopause & Chronic Pain with Claire Jacobs

Happy New Year! New year, new you? Us neither! ;)We are so excited to share this incredible blether with a legendary lady for our first episode of 2023! If you haven’t already heard of Single Parent Pessimist Blogger, Claire or listened to her incredible Mind Vox Podcast, you need to remedy that… but not until you’ve listened to her story here first of course! :)Claire was diagnosed (albeit rather vaguely?!) in 2022, she also identifies strongly with autism. Having blogged for a decade about her experiences as a single parent, the pandemic inspired Claire to create Mind Vox Podcast to raise mental health awareness. Claire’s ADHD, paired with her experiences have led to injustice sensitivity coursing through her veins. A self proclaimed chronic pain warrior, we are in absolute awe of this warrior woman! Don’t let the name fool you, this pessimist blew us away with her positive reflections on ADHD! As informative as it is inspirational, we are sure you’ll love this blether! THANK YOU SO MUCH CLAIRE!
