In this episode, I return to the mic and open up about restarting Couching the Mind and receiving a recent ADHD diagnosis.
I reflect on what it’s been like to finally make sense of years of racing thoughts, overwhelm, anxiety, and self-doubt — and how gaining clarity around how my mind works has changed the way I approach my mental health and creativity.
I also talk honestly about recognising why I previously struggled to push the podcast further, and how understanding my ADHD has helped me make sense of those challenges — not as failures, but as signals that something needed to be done differently.
Alongside this, I share my intentions for the podcast moving forward — the direction I want it to take, the conversations I want to create, and how I plan to show up more consistently and with greater clarity.
This is a grounded, real conversation about ADHD, burnout, and learning to work with your mind instead of constantly fighting it. No fluff. No pretending to have it all together. Just real talk.
