  • Summary

  • Late diagnosed ADHDer turned Activist Laura Mears-Reynolds invites you aboard the late ADHD diagnosis roller coaster! After a lifetime of unknowingly battling a brain disorder and feeling like an alien, I’ve discovered there’s a whole planet of us! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

    Join me and the Leopard Print Army in ‘unmasking’ and owning our ‘TOO MUCH’-ness! With the help of very special guests, including the likes of: bestselling Authors Clementine Ford & Davinia Taylor, ITV This Morning's Dr Nighat Arif, The ADHD Adults, ADHD Love, Catieosaurus, Life Actuator, BBC Morning Live’s Riyadh Khalaf, Forever Yours Betty, Adulting ADHD and many more!

    Only an expert by my own lived experience which I share with a hope to help others and push for systemic change so that ADHDers can be treated both medically and with the respect they deserve.
    Together we will make change happen! (And we can have a few laughs along the way at the most ADHD things we’ve done!)

    All episodes prior to Oct ‘23 feature & were edited by Dawn Farmer. Laura continues the ‘safari’ solo, as hell hath no fury like a ‘hun’ late diagnosed with ADHD.

  • Suzi Ruffell: ADHD, Dyslexia and Comedy
    May 22 2024

    I’m so excited to have the LEGENDARY Comedian & Author Suzi Ruffell hop aboard the late ADHD discovery rollercoaster this week!
    Despite being diagnosed with Dyslexia as a child, Suzi’s ADHD went undiscovered until very recently. Labelled ‘hyper’ as a child, Suzi found school really difficult, which inevitably led to truancy, which is common for many of us unidentified ADHDers. Suzi has noticed many female Comedians also just discovering their Neurodivergence… could it be the traits of the condition itself, or the result of a lifetime of ADHD going undetected and unsupported that has led so many like her to the profession? Whatever the case I am so grateful to Suzi for giving her time and voice to this platform to help raise crucial ADHD Awareness amidst a global crisis!

    One more time for the people at the back: SELF DIAGNOSIS IS VALID! To help scream this essential message to the masses is the legendary Lucy Greenwood, founder of clothing brand Lucy & Yak. ACTUAL LUCY! And she's just the best! So grateful to Lucy and her dog Louis for sharing her late ADHD discovery, Self Diagnosis 'safari' AND a very special DISCOUNT CODE in this episode! What a treat!
    ADHD assesment is currently a privilege or a postcode lottery in the UK and we are amidst a global diagnosis crisis. Self Diagnosis is valid, and in a system where you could currently be waiting the best part of a decade for life saving support if you can access it at all, it bloody well has to be!

  • CHINWAG: ADHD Self Sabotage with Kim Pierpoint
    May 12 2024

    Many ADHDers experience Self Sabotage; the most frustrating part is that it can be so hard to spot! So where is the long awaited Season 3?! Well... there isn't gonna be one! :) I've realised that the fear of 'the Season that shall not be named' failing has led me down a path of Self Sabotage so severe I've been stuck for months so instead I'm just ploughing on!Helping me do so is the INCREDIBLE Kim Pierpoint.

    In the same way this Podcast started over 2 years ago, this is a conversation between two late discovered ADHD women sharing their struggles to raise awareness, and break the stigma in the hope that their experiences help others.

    Kim is a Midlife Empowerment Coach and Yoga Teacher who provides Self Care Club sessions on Planet ADHDAF...this legend is also a Stand Up Comedian, who will be joining me at Alien Nation London and Flackstock Festival in the ADHDAF Emporium and our first ADHDAF Retreat, the SOLD OUT 'Holistic-ish Weekender'. Sign up for info on future Retreats HERE

    *TRIGGER WARNING: Contains swearing and some triggering topics such as self sabotage, self harm, depression, anxiety, self esteem struggles, losing a pet, RSD, struggling to exercise, masking*

Brilliant, informative interview highlights

I'm a female and have just been diagnosed with ADHD at age 44. I'm relieved and emotional - simultaneously, with this diagnosis . Episode 53 was my first episode of the podcasts I listened to and it offered a funny, raw and informative insight into the world of female ADHD through short highlights from guests. I feel part of a 'tribe' now and found a source where I can learn to understand myself and accept the neuro-divergent behaviours I've struggled with all my life.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
