Descripción

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 10 Neurodivergent Superpowers You Have Right Now (And How to Use Them)

Rich and Rox are doing something different this week.Rich [http://week.Rich] and Rox are doing something different this week. Instead of talking about the hard stuff, they're talking about the good stuff — the 10 strengths and superpowers that come with a neurodivergent brain. They've each picked five for the other one, and honestly some of them will surprise you. From hyperfocus and pattern recognition to crisis calm and deep empathy, this episode is a reminder that your brain isn't just a problem to manage. Fair warning though — they're not pretending it's all sunshine. If you're in the thick of it right now, they see you. But if you're ready to hear the other side, this one's worth your time. 20% off Loop Earplugs: https://www.loopearplugs.com/adhdlove [https://www.loopearplugs.com/adhdlove]

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]
