This week, I’m chatting to Dr Anita Goraya from ADHD Wellness & Wisdom , GP-turned Psychotherapist who specialises in helping people with ADHD. Both Anita and I have diagnoses of ADHD, so this is a topic close to our hearts, and I hope this warm and compassionate conversation will be helpful whether you’re neuro-diverse, awaiting a diagnosis or just interested to know more!

Things we talk about in this episode:

* Being diagnosed with ADHD later in life

* The neuro-developmental nature of ADHD, its hereditary aspects, and some of the common misconceptions people might have

* Anita’s transition from GP to therapist, and her own diagnosis process

* The importance of self-acceptance, leveraging strengths, and scaffolding weaknesses

* Practical strategies for managing ADHD symptoms, such as mindfulness, problem-solving, and making use of tools and resources

* The emotional impact of ADHD, the potential for neuro-plasticity, and the importance of seeking formal diagnoses and support.

This week, I’m chatting to my friend Sarahbeth Larrimore, the wonder-woman behind Unabashed Apparel. The mantra for her work says it all: “Empowering women to design & sew. Our bodies are worthy of our finest frocks, just as they are.” Um, yes please!Sarahbeth and I had a juicy conversation about personal style and the benefits of sewing for self-expression, creativity and body acceptance.
