Hey besties! ✨

On today's show:

• Divergent dilemma #1 - Lilian asks if she should find a new hairstylist because she's got ADHD-related RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria). Dw, we've got you covered bby!

• Divergent dilemm #2 - A newly-diagnosed ADHD mother is asking about hyperactivity, stimming and rumination. BABEEE you're asking the right girls! We're stimming QUEENS 👑 and ruminate like it's a competitive sport. 🤾

We talk about the neuroscience of ADHD brains and how getting specific about our stressors can help break rumination cycles. We also share why anxiety medication has been life-changing for us.

• Ireggy Seggy: Tara quizzes Grace on strange celebrity hotel requests... Which celeb requested no pictures of horses anywhere in his room and more importantly, WHY?? 🐴🧐 Also, Grace has gone off the deep end this week and has started referring to herself in the third person 🫠

Basically it's just a typical Thursday with your ADHD besties!

Hiiiii ADHD besties! ✨

On today's minisode:

We talk for way too many minutes about Weetbix (sorry!)

• Divergent dilemma - A cute listener asks 'my therapist suggested I do meditation while I wait for a diagnosis and access to ADHD medication but I find it impossible'. Grace (who is a qualified breathwork and nervous system educator) explains why meditation is hard for our brains and how to make it ADHD friendly.

We also talk about our favourite disco fish and how cute and special she is. 🪩🐠

We love you and your sexy brainsssss.

Your ADHD besties,
Grace & Tara xx

Heyyyyy ADHD bestie babes! ✨

On today's show:

• Grace shares a drama from her week about how ADHD meds have led to appetite suppression/meal skipping, and how a perfect storm last Friday ended up with a little trip to the hospital. 🫠🏥 (A reminder for this segment, that we're not doctors and seek professional help if you need.)

• Divergent dilemma - Grace asks Tara for help with the executive functioning of feeding herself, because it is a STRUGG-LE. 😩 We discuss the ADHD tendency towards a dopamine-seeking relationship with food, how to deal with appetite suppression and how to change our inner-narratives that packaged food isn't nutritious and that we have to eat 'CLEAN' wholefoods all the time.

• Ireggy Seggy: This week we asked YOU to contribute to the podcast with our brand new segment called "Confession Session". 🙊 We asked our Instagram besties "What's your latest secret hyperfixation/recent impulse buy??" and we're reading out your answers. 💬🫠

• Let's get the verdict on 'barefoot shoes'. Tara hates them, Grace is agnostic. Vote in our POLL (on Spotify or IG @adhdbestiespodcast!)

REC LINKS:

• Tara recommended the Harry Potter fanfic book she's obsessing over - Manacled, by Sen Lin Yu
• Grace recommended Video Speed Controller Chrome extension, so you never have to sit through a mind-numbing YouTube ad again, and can skip the ads!

Aaaand, we'll be back with a MINISODE on Monday morning featuring the second divergent dilemm (we didn't have time for in this ep today). Keep an eye out! 👀

Your ADHD besties,
Grace & Tara xx
