ADHD is something we’re hearing about more than ever right now - from social media to workplaces to classrooms, it feels like everyone is talking about it. Diagnoses have surged in recent years, with more adults in particular beginning to question whether they might have ADHD.  But with that rise has come a lot of confusion too - around what ADHD actually is, how it’s diagnosed, and why so many people are facing long waiting lists just to be assessed or access treatment.  To help us break it all down, we’re joined by psychiatrist Dr Fionna McDarby, to talk about what’s really going on behind the headlines, and what people need to know if they think they might have ADHD.   

Relationships are often described as one of the most important parts of our lives, but they can also be one of the most confusing. How do you know if you’re truly in the right relationship, or in one that just feels comfortable? And when it comes to age gaps, where is the line between a healthy difference and a potential imbalance?   Today psychotherapist Chloe Callanan joins Valerie, known as are you well therapy on socials, to explore the emotional, psychological, and practical factors that shape relationship compatibility, and how to better understand what’s right for you.    

Tomorrow marks Daffodil Day, a hugely important moment in Ireland’s calendar when people across the country come together to support those affected by cancer. Every donation helps fund expert cancer nurses, groundbreaking research, and vital services that guide patients and families through incredibly difficult journeys.  Today, we’re joined by Alanna Kells, who at just 27 years old is living with stage 3 breast cancer. She’s here to share her story - from diagnosis to how it’s changed her life - and to help shine a light on why support for Daffodil Day matters more than ever.  

Running has absolutely taken off in recent years - from couch-to-5Ks to full marathons, more and more people are getting involved and embracing the running culture.  Now, a marathon might sound like a big challenge… but imagine running the entire length of Ireland.  Well, that’s exactly what one group is taking on. Valerie is delighted to be joined by Shane Bisto Kelly from Fad na hÉireann - a group of six men who are running from Malin Head all the way down to Mizen Head on 1st May  They each have their own reasons for taking on this incredible challenge, and Shane is doing it in support of Féileacáin - a charity very close to his heart.
