LIFE AFTER DIAGNOSIS: 10 things no one warns you about after getting an ADHD or autism diagnosis

You've just been diagnosed with ADHD or autism — now what? In this episode, Rich and Rox walk through the 10 emotional stages of life after a late diagnosis: the surreal moment everything starts to make sense, the relief-and-grief whiplash, the identity crisis (what's me vs. what's neurodivergent?), and the painful truth that a diagnosis doesn't fix you — and can even make things worse before it gets better. The episode lands where their work always does: how to move from "what's wrong with me?" to self-understanding, and rebuild a life that works with your brain. 20% off Loop Earplugs: ⁠https://www.loopearplugs.com/adhdlove [https://www.loopearplugs.com/adhdlove]⁠ [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]

AUTISM IN DISGUISE: 10 “weird” things I didn’t realise were signs of autism

This week, Rich shares 10 “weird” things he always thought were just part of his personality… that actually turned out to be autism. From struggling with eye contact to leaving parties early, needing space, and even things like rubbing his feet together — we break down the small, everyday behaviours that didn’t seem like anything at the time, but make a lot more sense now. It’s a funny, honest, and really accessible conversation about what autism can actually look like in real life. Whether you’re diagnosed, questioning, or just trying to understand someone you love — this one might help you see things a little differently. 20% off Loop Earplugs: ⁠https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]⁠ [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]

ADHD vs AUTISM: The big cleaning episode!

It's neurotype warfare, mop in hand. Rox (ADHD) and Rich (autism) go ten rounds on how they actually clean — from anxiety-fuelled 20-minute panic tidies to methodical "do not make a mess" warnings issued two days in advance. Expect dog wipes used on kitchen counters, sitting on the floor reading old birthday cards instead of cleaning, and at least one threat of being attacked with your own laundry. Producer Max judges. Vibes decide. It ends, inevitably, in rock paper scissors. 20% off Loop Earplugs: ⁠https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]⁠ [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]

PERIMENOPAUSE DIARIES: My first symptoms, HRT journey, and what I wish I knew sooner

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rox opens up about her perimenopause journey — from her very first symptoms at to recently starting HRT. She talks honestly about the brain fog that felt like being underwater, the exhaustion nothing could fix, and the moment she was convinced her life was over. They unpack why perimenopause hits ADHD women harder, why nobody warned us this was coming, and the year Rox left her HRT unopened in the cupboard out of fear. Plus the male doctor who tried to talk her out of taking it. Then comes the turnaround. Eight weeks into HRT, Rox describes getting her life back — her sleep, her energy, her confidence, her creativity. If you've been feeling weird in your body and wondering what's wrong with you, this one is for you. 20% off Loop Earplugs: ⁠https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]⁠ [https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove]

THE ADHD DIET: 10 simple ways to improve your symptoms

This week, we’re talking about THE ADHD DIET — 10 simple, evidence-backed ways that what you eat can actually impact your ADHD symptoms. From protein and blood sugar to hydration, vitamins and ultra-processed food, we break down the changes that can make the biggest difference (without overcomplicating it). But… in true LATE BLOOMERS fashion, we’re not exactly smashing it. From Monster-for-breakfast confessions to scoring ourselves a very questionable 3/10, this episode is as real as it gets. Because knowing what helps and actually doing it are two very different things. If you’ve ever struggled with energy crashes, sugar cravings, or just feeding yourself consistently — this one’s for you. Start small, pick one or two things, and see what happens. No perfection, no pressure… just progress.
