AUDHD, Not Broken: Life Unfiltered as an Autistic ADHDer

What was supposed to be a short break somehow turned into nearly a year. In this episode, I reflect on everything that’s happened since I last recorded: coming off ADHD medication, writing (or not writing) my book, parenting, relationships, burnout, creativity, and trying to figure out how to build a life that works with my brain instead of constantly fighting it. It’s an honest, unscripted catch-up and a gentle return to the podcast (hopefully). Also: might be a bit rubbish in parts!!! 😂

In this special episode — my very first with a guest! — I chat with Teo, the brilliant mind behind SendWiseHub. We talk about how she started the project, why she felt called to create it, and the personal experiences that shaped her approach to supporting families navigating the SEND system. It’s a warm, honest conversation between two neurodivergent parents who’ve both spent too much time lost in EHCP paperwork and just want things to be a bit easier — and kinder — for others coming up behind.   You can find Teo and SendWiseHub here: • Facebook: SendWiseHub on Facebook • Instagram: @sendwisehub • LinkedIn: SendWise Hub on LinkedIn • Substack: sendwisehub.substack.com • Payhip shop: payhip.com/SENDwiseHub   Want to connect or support my work?

In this episode, I’m catching you up on where I’ve been lately — because, honestly, it’s been a lot. I talk about overwhelm, how I tend to retreat when things get too much, and the hit my confidence took after a recent writing opportunity didn’t go the way I hoped. I share where I’m at with my book, my podcast, and my AUDHD Not Broken project — and why I’m learning (again) to respect my energy levels, my brain, and the messy, slow pace that actually works for me. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or frustrated with yourself for not doing more — this one’s for you. Want to connect or support my work?

I probably sound a bit unhinged in this one!

Another pivot, another podcast episode. This one’s about letting go of my VA business (again), circling back to writing (again), and trying not to drown in the shame of it all. I talk about the many versions of me I’ve tried to be, what I’m building with AUDHD Not Broken, where I’m at with my book, and how losing a stone on this new plan has helped me feel a bit more like myself again. Also: a beautiful message from a listener that reminded me why I keep showing up. If you’re listening, I’d love to hear from you too — even just a hello.

Sorry for being absent. Just checking in briefly

Feeling overwhelmed right now so decided to record a rambling, stream of consciousness type episode. If it’s rubbish, I apologise!!

Just a mini episode as I got inspired after a very short spurt of clothes-putting-away. Might do a longer episode on this another time. Also I kind of want to keep the momentum up of making episodes. Let me know if you like the shorter ones or if you prefer longer episodes. You can email me at [email protected]

This week has been a tough one, so let’s talk about emotional dysregulation. When overwhelm builds up, when nothing goes right, when every little thing sets me off—this is what dysregulation feels like for me. I share what triggered it this week, how I try (and sometimes fail) to regulate, and what actually helps vs. what makes it worse. If you’ve ever been told to ‘just calm down,’ this one’s for you. Let’s get into it. Have a topic you’d like me to cover? Email me at [email protected]

Welcome to the very first episode of AUDHD, Not Broken! In this episode, I introduce myself, talk about why I started this podcast, and share a bit of my journey as an Autistic ADHDer. I also touch on parenting as an ND person, overstimulation, and what you can expect from future episodes. No scripts, no filters—just real talk. If you relate, you’re in the right place!
