Heyyy ADHD besties! 🫠👯
On today's show;
• We discuss our obsession with god-tier frozen Indian food and why Depop is lifeee.
• Answer a dilemma that navigates the minefield of RSD and what to do when friends don't respond to texts
• Our second dilemm is super serious in nature... we look at why clicking pens is akin to torture and ask the all-important question: should she steal the pen? (vote in our Insta poll!)
• Dilemma no. 3 - "my boyfriend doesn't believe I have ADHD" 🥸 *cue boo from the crowd* - we discuss how ADHD traits aren't always consistent and that's actually exactly what ADHD looks like.
• Ireggy Seggy: In this ireggy seggy we shudder over sensory icks... or are they dicks? and Grace outs herself as the only existing millennial top sheet enthusiast 😱
We love you and your superior brains that don't work very well

1. "ADHD perfectionism is ruining my life!" 🫠

Hey ADHD besties!
On today's show;
• We hack ADHD sleep & eating with our recommendations
• Answer a dilemma about a tricky living situation and why the ADHD ability to quickly get out of a bad mood makes us superior housemates
• Our second dilemma is juicy AF, we look at ADHD perfectionism, imposter syndrome and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) in our jobs (and why selling boudoir photography to your uncle Jeff is never a good idea.)
• Ireggy Seggy: Most importantly, in our ireggy seggy we discuss the horrors of ADHD sensory overload and why the wrinkly blueberry is a worst case scenario, especially if you're wearing wet jeans.
We love you and your superior brains that don't work very well

3. ADHD & friendships: what is rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and why does it HURT?

Hellooo besties! ✨
On today's show:
• We're overwhelmed at how amazing the response has been to our first 2 eps!!! 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who's reviewed and rated the podcast, we're obsessed with you guys ❤️‍🔥
• We recommend our fave TV shows this week (and worry about what happens if AI is better at being a human than us?? 🤖)
• Dilemma #1 - A 27yo listener living at home is struggling with her parent's approach to her ADHD and wondering how to advocate for herself.
• Dilemma #2 - We answer a question about RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) & friendships in the workplace. We talk about how to distance yourself from your RSD and observe it, instead of over-identifying with the strong emotions and letting them swallow you 🫠
• Ireggy Seggy: we play one of our fave games, 'Pipe Dream', where we hypothesise what life would be like if we could actually follow through on our lofty aspirations 🧘‍♀️🚴
