Show Notes
This episode is split into two parts - the first part is banter between Paige and Ellie. We chat about recent hacks and learnings we've had, we discuss the differences we're noticing in our biometrics (recorded by our Oura rings) and we also clarify why you may not have been let into our Reddit yet...
Then we learn - WTF is ADHD coaching? And how is it different from therapy or life coaching? We’re joined by ADHD coach Marium (from ADHD Empowered), who shares how she moved from corporate life and international teaching into specialised ADHD coaching after seeing how misunderstood and unsupported neurodivergent people often are.
We unpack: Who ADHD coaching is for (from teens to late-diagnosed adults) How to know if you’re “ready” for coaching The key differences between ADHD coaching, therapy, and traditional life coaching How coaches help clients who know what to do but can’t execute Addressing shame, grief, and the belief that you’re “broken”
Marium explains why ADHD coaching focuses on the “what” and “how” rather than the “why,” how understanding your brain can be life-changing, and why strengthening executive function matters more than visualising success.
Next week, we'll play out the other half of our chat where Marium provides practical advice and some reassuring words for our fellow ADHDers.

Forgotten subscriptions, late fees, food rotting in the fridge, buying things you already own, and paying $40 for takeaway because cooking feels like an Olympic sport - those are just a few examples of the colloquial ADHD tax - all the extra money we end up spending because our brains work a little differently.
Money is hard for everyone, but add ADHD and autism into the mix and it can feel like being thrown around a washing machine.
In this week’s episode, we start with a listener who posted in our Reddit about their vivid dreams. We chat about dreams and our relationship with them - before getting into our main topic: self-talk before and after diagnosis, and why it matters.
In this episode, we go back in time and try to remember what our childhood bedrooms looked like - and what they might have been showing us in hindsight!
Paige was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as a child, and we've never really heard her share her story on this podcast. So we thought it'd be a great time to learn a little bit more about Tourette's in this episode! We bust some myths and stereotypes, learn more about what a 'tic' actually is, what they feel like and whether they can be suppressed, what treatments are available and we hear from Paige about her lived experience and the mental and physical cost Tourette's has had on her.
