This week Jordan is joined by Ben Holmes of the Guiding Light Podcast.
Ben tells his story of addiction and recovery, and how finding community through 12-Step groups eventually led him to a dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism.
Ben and Jordan also discuss eating disorders among men, particularly binge eating, and the kinds of supports and stigma reduction that are needed for more men to seek help.
Check out the Guiding Light Podcast at theguidinglight.co.uk and on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, and check out HSIHADHD episode 54 with Ben's co-host Chris Gilham.
JORDAN'S AUDIO NOTE/LISTENER APOLOGY: due to technical issues we had to use Zoom audio for this conversation, and due to further technical issues I didn't realize I a) wasn't recording multiple-speaker output in Zoom and b) was so close to the damn mic. So I am VERY VERY SORRY for the nasty breathing and mouth noises throughout, unfortunately they are literally impossible to mute or mix out due to my bad Zoom setup. Every day I learn and grow. 🙃
Production and music by Jordan Lane.
