Jean Kittson (Part 1): From Shy Kid to Comedy Icon - Accidents, ADHD & Independence

In Part 1 of this conversation, I sit down with one of Australia’s most loved comedians, Jean Kittson, to explore the unexpected path that shaped her life and career.We start at the beginning, a shy child growing up in a family where her dad’s love of comedy, gags, and joke-shop tricks quietly set the tone for what was to come. Jean shares how she “fell” into drama almost by accident, thanks to a drama teacher at her high school.From there, we dive into her early work teaching drama in disadvantaged schools and how those experiences shaped her perspective on people, confidence, and communication.We also get into some of the bigger conversations, adult ADHD, menopause, sex education in schools, and what it means to carve out independence as a woman across different stages of life.It’s thoughtful, funny, and full of moments that will make you reflect on how the smallest nudges can change the course of everything.Part 2 drops next episode, where things get even more candid as we talk midlife, sex, and Jean meets Horace 🐾Whether you are in perimenopause, approaching menopause, or simply trying to understand your hormones, I've got you.Read more about this episode at Medication Clarity Clinic, Kate's own medication education and telehealth consulting site: https://medicationclarity.com.auFollow Kate for more no-nonsense health education at @prescribeorpass on Instagram, Tiktok and Facebook.
