This episode is an example of when two neurodivergent brains meet and basically just totally unmask. This chat really was a lot of fun, Charlotte is larger than life and had so much to share. We giggle throughout most of it, even the dark bits, but please don’t think we aren’t taking the topics seriously; sometimes you really have just gotta laugh! We discuss everything from coping with life with undiagnosed ADHD to Sam Thompson (of course!). The bits in between include Charlotte reflecting on how she went undiagnosed until adulthood, when she has two neurodivergent siblings who were diagnosed in childhood, and the effects chronic people pleasing can have in your life. I really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. And finally, can someone please tell us whether the saying is, “Get your goat?!”

Just PSA- There are points I could have edited out where I  stumble over my words a lot, but I kept it in, because this is part of my tired, over-stretched ADHD brain and it feels more authentic to me, and I think other people would find it relatable too😊
