For the finale of Season 3 I've swapped roles with Dr James Brown of the ADHD Adults Podcast and ADHDadultUK Charity - the 1st ever ADHDAF guest - to answer the questions I've been asking for 2.5 years to conclude the season which almost didn't get released & ADHD Awareness Month 2024.
Whilst we explore the themes of Internalised misogyny, ableism and RSD, this lengthy, side-questy and VERY sweary (sorry Mum) chinwag is a celebration of launching stage one of ADHDAF+ Charity and ADHDAF Emporium and all that's been overcome to continue ADHDAF solo for a whole year. And it is an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to all who have supported this podcast, the socials, the online peer support community, the live events, the retreat and ADHDAF Day. I can't say thank you enough to you all!
- As explained in the episode(!!!) this cover photo is by the incredible @summonfirehotography
- Editing and jingle by @sessionzservices
- The playlist for all season 3 guests 'ADHD Song', including my ADHDAF Anthem is available to listen to HERE - the amazing question came from community LEGEND Lauren!

I must admit I was cringing at the amount of times I swear in this episode - likely because it turned into a relaxed conversation between two friends. HOWEVER, I realised that if I edited the swearing out, I would only be doing so to appease my own internalised misogyny! So I've kept the swears in for that reason, and because it is symbolic of all that I've put into ADHDAF since April '22 - every single 'eff' I have to give! :)
THANKS SO MUCH to James for interviewing me and for all of his support from day dot - a man who has done DOUBLE the ammont of live shows I have at 70 in the same period!!

Trigger warning: Alongside swearing we discuss some heavy topics such as: bullying, ableism, trolling, sexism, internalised misogyny, addiction, accidental injury, premature death, suicidal ideation, suicide, self harm, divorce, family and relationship struggles, bereavement, abusive relationships, self loathing, depression and anxiety.

This mini episode is the finale from our ADHDAF Emporium Tent live at Flackstock Festival at which the ADHDAF Peer Support Community helped me raise ADHD Awareness by sharing what they would most like the world to know - just as I have in the previous 9 episodes of this mini series - amplifying the voices of those that have gone unheard for far too long. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!

Please be aware that the sound quality isn't great as this was recorded live on stage at a festival! If you remember in a previous episode I talked about the serendipitous ending you can hear a little bit of that in the background too! xxx
