Flying under the radar: When uni exposes an internally hyperactive ADHD mind

Akaysha Morgan flew under the radar for most of her life: quiet, capable, and never 'hyperactive enough' to be flagged as ADHD. But when she started university as a film student, everything changed. Long lecture days, rigid structures, and sustained attention demands collided with an internally hyperactive mind. Suddenly the coping strategies that once worked, weren't enough and the same supports weren't available, like family and the countryside. In this episode, Akaysha shares what it is like to be a woman whose ADHD doesn't look loud on the outside but rarely quitens on the inside...

An ADHD Christmas with the Canny Goose... and why THIS year, she isn't cooked!

Listen in to the ADHD Christmas episode with Oli's famous (well, in Cornwall) sister! Hard to believe the "Goose" behind the now renowned Cornish "Canny Goose" jeweller, was only a few years ago stuck in a hellish job with no apparent way out... until she got the boot (was it her 32nd job?!). As a 41 year old woman with ADHD, Lucy talks about how she kept her family afloat by making the job of her dreams, the difference it makes being self-employed in a job she loves, and being by the sea with ADHD. She also talks about self-diagnosis with ADHD, parenting, living with Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and about enjoying and surviving the all-important holiday season! You won't want to miss the infectious charm of this daring, funny woman!
