Send us Fan MailIs it ADHD or Life? Special guest – Suzi PaytonNew episode out now on ADHD or Life – A Couple’s Perspective 🎙️ and this week we’re joined by the brilliant Suzi Payton (speaker, comedian, author and confidence coach). Suzi’s an AuDHDer who also lives with Tourette’s and OCD, and she brings a proper mix of honesty, humour and real-life experience to everything she does. She helps neurodivergent people build confidence, unmask, and quieten the inner critic (so RSD hits less often), and she also runs ADHD The Experience – an event made by and for neurodivergent folks.Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/46i0iGiwmgvFrlOzoW2SnSWatch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/L6SDb2j2fe4Suzi Payton links:Website: https://www.suzipayton.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzi-payton-a9b68b25/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@suzipaytonaudhdcomedianYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@suzipaytonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suzipayton_audhdspeaker.comedy/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suzipaytonadhdSuzi’s podcast:Adventures with ADHD: https://open.spotify.com/show/4MCLGSmXIul1B1DcOEbsTs?si=ee54fbf833d5429aSuzi’s book:Lost & Now Found (with Kate Laine-Toner): https://amzn.eu/d/4kEzrUzWhat we talk about in this episode:Suzi’s journey from messy bedrooms, school struggles, low self-esteem and confidence… to teaching for 17 yearsPlanning difficulties, coping strategies, and the research rabbit holes before diagnosisDiagnosis day and what changed internally afterwardsImposter syndrome, and why it can still stick around even when you’re doing wellForgiveness, compassion, and why self-compassion is not optional (even when your brain says it is)ADHD strengths and “rewiring” the way you see yourselfMedication pros and cons, plus other strategies (including no alcohol)Comedy: how Suzi got into it, improv, dopamine hits, and neurodivergent workshopsShould Adam try improv?
