If you're wanting to learn more about lived experiences with ADHD and neurodivergence, then this story is for you. 

Meet Momoko Hill -- a multi-hyphenate creative and activist, who dials in from Cornwall, England to chat about the ups and downs of navigating life with ADHD, and the importance of having compassion for yourself and for one another. 

We talk about:

  • When she first began to suspect she had ADHD, and what she was like as a child;
  • The fears, stressors, and barriers that prevent people from seeking a diagnosis;
  • The importance of validation, and how harmful it is to feel dismissed or minimised;
  • What it was like being diagnosed, and learning how to manage her medication;
  • How medication restored her relationship with her body and food
    (Trigger warning: mentions of eating disorders, weight, body image issues) ;
  • The meticulous planning and support systems that need to be in place for her to function and thrive;
  • Why rituals are particularly important to her.

And how we can better support loved ones who are navigating their own journeys with ADHD and neurodivergence.
