"But you don’t look ADHD/Autistic/Insert other stereotypical assumption here" 🙄What exactly is Neurodivergence supposed to look like Karen?!Annoying as the question is, there's a grain of truth to it when it comes to masking our more notable traits. In this episode of ADHDFest, we’re diving deep into why so many of us hide our true selves behind a mask to blend in. Masking can be exhausting, confusing, and sometimes we don’t even realise we’re doing it! 😅Join me, as I share my personal journey of unmasking and how I’m learning to embrace my ADHD without feeling the need to “perform” for the world. My story should give you some tips on how to start recognising your own masking strategy and what you can do to start showing up as your authentic self ✨The aim is for all of us to gain the clarity and confidence to navigate it with grace. Let’s get real, get honest, and start embracing our neurodivergence, unapologetically! 💖What you'll hear:* What masking looks like for me (an adult woman with ADHD) 🧠 * The impact it can have on our mental health and relationships 🌱 * Practical steps that helped me recognise and reduce masking 🎯 *
Let’s take off the mask together, shall we? 😘 Tune in! 🎧Members Only Accountability Podcast: The Body Doubling Club 🎉

"Is this my intuition... or just my ADHD anxiety attempt at self sabotage?" 🤔
Does some variation of this question ever cross your mind? I have asked it of myself MANY TIMES 😂 In this episode, we're diving deep into the tricky balance of trusting your gut when you have ADHD.
We'll explore the fine line between listening to your intuition and identifying when it's just anxiety, overthinking, or other ADHD symptoms getting in the way. I’ll share some of my personal stories—times I ignored my gut (didn’t end well!) and times I pushed through, and how I’ve learned to tell the difference.
As usual I’ve sprinkled in some researched advice and anecdotes to help you hone that intuitive voice inside and know when it’s time to trust it—or when to gently push through the resistance.
Get ready for some fun tips, a few laughs, and practical strategies that you can start using today to make trusting your gut easier than ever!

This week's topic really is what ADHDFest is all about! That perfect mix of practical ADHD tools, science based self development and just a dash of actual magic ✨ Affirmations are used in pretty much every self improvement system at this point but can we make them ADHD specific? Where we not only focus on ADHD symptoms but also tweak the technique to be less dull and more dopamine friendly 🤔 . Well I've given it my best shot at creating just that, so I say yes! I'm also going to share how affirmations helped to smash through my severe social anxiety, to the point I can't relate at all to how I used to feel 🙌
And don't forget to send me your affirmation requests for the new subliminal, coming soon ❤️❤️❤️

So this week has been a sticky one for me, podcast wise. If you listened to last week's episode you will know why. But in a nutshell, I am away from home, with no quiet space to record in and no real technical set up even if I did 😭. So rather than miss a week/put out something I don't feel proud of, I thought I would look back through the past 60 or so episodes since ADHDFest's inception and put 5 of my favourite snippets all here for you in one handy dandy episode.
Yes, it's always better to get an in depth view with a full episode on each topic but let's face it, with ADHD, we don't always have the patience to sit through 5 full episodes 😂! A summary of 5 in 1 is so much better than none.
I will be back next week with your usual content but for now, please enjoy!
Episode Titles Included:
1 - Are You always Late? How to Combat ADHD Time Blindness
2 - Diary of an ADHD Burnout
3 - 4 Simple steps to make New Habits Easy
4 - ADHD Task Paralysis: Most Effective Hack
5 - Your Neurotype has Nothing to do with Your Worth

I cannot WAIT for you to try this because it's blowing my mind 🤯.
Little naive me has always desperately tried to stick to a schedule. I long for habit and routine! But those of us with ADHD have come to the painful realisation - it's damn near impossible 😮💨... until now. Yes, at the grand old age of 37, I suspect I've cracked it 💪
The first of the two strategies I've dipped in and out of for a while, as it does work well for the short time I can keep consistent with it. But when I recently discover the second strategy and paired the two together, that's when the magic started to happen.✨
I really hope this works as well fo you as it has been for me but as always.... remember this is trial and error. There's no one size fits all but there is a fit for YOU.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes! Screenshot the episode and tag me on your socials so I can share with our community ❤️

Hello my lovely ADHDFest gang ❤️
This Bonus episode shares my best tips to reduce those pesky side effects when you first try ADHD medication 😬. I'm posting as a bonus rather than a regular Friday episode as this is not going to be relevant to everyone but....
Great for those in that titration spot right now or anyone curious about some of the tougher parts of stimulants. 🙌
Maybe you're still deciding whether to try meds or not.🤔 But here are some things that got me through the dry mouth, low appetite etc.
As always DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, psychiatrist or medical expert - please consult your doctor before taking medication or adjusting your dose etc.

📖 Ready for story time???
Today's episode came straight from the divine 🔮. I'm serious! During a meditation I felt pulled to tell you about my day and I had no idea why. It didn't seem to connect to ADHD or the Law of Attraction at all but my intuition kept nudging me all the same. So I sat down to reflect on what happened and how you might find value in it and IT HIT ME! It turns out it might just be one of the most important lessons we late diagnosed ADHDers need to internalise 🙌✨
Slightly longer at just over 30 minutes but if you can stay with me to the end, I know you can benefit.

In today's episode we're doing some serious myth busting 💪
Using studies, statistics and my personal experience I'm diving into 10 of the most prolific myths surrounding ADHD and why they simply cannot be true. It's easy to attack people that believe and perpetuate this nonsense, write them off as dumb, ableist, old fashioned prejudiced bigots - but the truths is ...I spent a long time believing this stuff myself! 🤯😬 It's such a big topic and so new to mainstream awareness, it's possible there are things on this list that will come as a shock to you.
We don't know what we don't know. Most of our "knowledge" is picked up through osmosis from society, family, headlines and social media "experts" and we don't always have the time to research into these big complex topics until it directly affects our every day lives. All we can do is educate ourselves and if we have the energy, educate others too - this episode is my contribution 😊
One thing to remember is, it's what you know that matters. You don't need to convince anyone of anything, ever. Being honest with yourself about who you are without judgement and making decisions from there is the only thing within your control.

One of the reasons ADHDFest was born was to gain clarity on what ADHD actually MEANS for adults in their everyday lives. ADHD can't be cured so it's important for us to get clear on what issues are just a part of the condition and what issues are separate parts of our personality and limiting beliefs that CAN be worked on and possibly eliminated 🤔 The research and studies just aren't there yet so if we want answers we are going to have to share and compare our experiences as a community ❤️
In that spirit, today I share my experience of resisting expectations of other (and myself) and comparing it with the description of PDA (Pathalogical demand avoidance) an aspect of neurodivergence that is acknowledged but very poorly researched.

Discovering your neurodiversity in adulthood can be a shock to the system, it takes time to really understand the gravity and effect it has had on you. Post diagnosis, there can be a "skill regression". Symptoms become worse overnight as your coping mechanisms fall apart and this has a real impact on people's career. This is not something within your control, many ADHD'ers are prone to people pleasing and really WANT to be amazing at their jobs. They feel like failures when inevitably their symptoms cause them to underperform.
On the flip side of the coin, I have heard more and more complaints from neurotypical peers about colleagues, newly diagnosed with ADHD, who are missing deadlines/missing meetings etc at work and when questioned their answer is "I can't do it because of my ADHD". They are frustrated at "picking up the slack" and (mistakenly) feel it's "just an excuse".
Neither party is happy with this situation, but I have GREAT NEWS.....
The solutions can be extremely simple. Honestly! Both sides needs can be met with just a little negotiation and we can all, be happier within the workplace.
Because those late-diagnosed are brand new to the complexities of ADHD, they can find it difficult to advocate for themselves. Most struggle to even know what might help them! Mix that with HR and traditional businesses being mostly uneducated on neurodiversity - of course nobody knows what to do! So in today's episode I'm going to give you step by step instructions on what is available and help in creating a reasonable adjustments plan to suit both you AND your manager.
I would love to know if this has helped or if you already have a reasonable adjustments plan in place with more tips to share with our ADHDFest listeners. Contact me via the links below ⬇️

If there is one place you should be able to relax, it's at home! It took me a long time to see areas where I was making life harder on myself in my own home because "that's the way it's done". When I finally became aware of it, it was actually quite funny 😂 no one can even see what I'm doing in the comfort of my own home so who am I performing for exactly?! We don't get a gold star from anyone for the way we choose to live (though sometimes we do get shamed and guilted but that's for another episode!) so why do we sometimes find ourselves avoiding the things that would help and support us?
Today I'm walking you through your home, room by room and sharing ideas you may not have thought of. Lots are so simple you will wonder why you've been complicating it for so long!
As always, I love to hear your ideas too! Make sure you're in the Private FB Group where you can share your ideas or ask for help (anonymously if you want)

The ADHD is strong for me today, I've been on a winning following all of my habits for a while now but today the inevitable "crash and burn for no reason" has arrived 😮💨 so let's talk about it....
The world won't stop turning, my ADHD isn't going away ever and there's no magical potion I can drink to snap back into my "good" routines and habits. But that doesn't mean I can't improve the situation. Throughout this week's ramble (I'm not kidding, the brain had a day off!) you will uncover 3-5 gems of wisdom that can be used to create consistency in your life, in spite of our limitations.
I would love to hear any tips or strategies you use to create consistency around your ADHD? Come share on my socials below....

Emotional regulation issues are common with Adult ADHD. When looking for advice on how to process those emotions, there's one technique that keeps coming up, no matter the source.... JOURNALLING.
Writing down your thoughts and feelings can work wonders but I don't know about you.....my ADHD brain works way too fast for my hands to keep up! (Don't even get me started on the intense boredom of typing!) So I came up with this hack as alternative. Even managed to give it a manifesting angle to make it extra juicy!!
I would love to hear your thoughts on this if you decided to give it a try or do it already....

🤔 I don't normally like to cover this topic on the pod, I focus mostly on high vibe and support but the time felt right to state my case on the damaging and baseless narratives around neurodivergence in the media. Let's deal with facts and figures before "bias and belief" in order to reverse the damage that may have been done to our community ❤️🙌

I'm often asked, if I had to choose 1 ADHD hack, above all others.....what would I choose??!
Obviously, this is a big ask. ADHD has such a variety of symptoms and behaviours, it's impossible to choose just one, simple strategy to cover them all.
But if I HAD to pick a favourite, there is one strategy that has made a clear, positive impact on my life. It's the obvious winner, so today we're taking a deep dive to help implement it into your life too.

We all know I love a bit of that delulu, manifesting my reality, solutions only life! But I skipped an important step and I don't want you to fall into the same trap. Today we're getting real....so we can heal. Yes, it's a deliciously cheesy line but the message is an important one. Taking a hard look at reality is sometimes necessary before we swoop in to "fix' a problem we aren't fully intimate with.
Don't skip this, it's important and the best way to speed up the process of coming to terms with Adult ADHD in all it's glory!

🤯 How have I not spoken about this before?!!
There isn't one definitive answer to help with ADHD struggles (wouldn't it be amazing if there was!) so I like to come at them from all angles, including a spiritual approach!! If you've followed the podcast for any length of time you will know I am BIG on the energy of the Universe and using the law of attraction to help boost our ADHD brains. One of the techniques I haven't touched on yet is working with Crystals ✨
I've chosen my 5 favourite, ADHD symptom specific crystals to share with you in today's episode. We will talk about what they are, how they work and how to use them easily in your everyday life. Minimal effort - my favourite!
I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences with crystal healing. You can get in touch via my socials below ⬇️

🤯I had no idea that I had ADHD for the first 34 years of my life. I ignored the struggles, pushed down the emotions, shamed myself, created elaborate coping strategies and went on blissfully unaware. But it became glaringly obvious, the minute I became a mother. It's not a unique story, a lot of us lost our ability to cope with ADHD symptoms once we became parents.... which I actually think is a great thing, hard as it seems, because I may never have known! ❤️
❤️Our children are our everything, it's natural to want to be the "perfect parent" but without accepting our shortcomings first, we won't even come close. I'm proud of today's episode, there's some real value and insight in there that I found through research on the topic, along with my own trial and error, but the improvement is ongoing. You are never finished on the journey of parenthood. I would love to hear about your experience and any strategies or tips you have used that I may not have mentioned, so that we can share it with the ADHD community.🔥🙌

It's going be a very different episode this week but it's one I think you will get a lot of value from. I love to keep ADHDFest as uplifting and solutions focused as possible but without transparency, there's a danger of crossing over into toxic positivity. Sometimes, ADHD is just sh*t and it's ok to say that. So rather than hide the burnout that has hit me HARD this week, you're going to hear in real time how it feels, what triggered it and how I'm choosing to work through it. Listen in, find the parts you resonate with and get my best tips for tried and tested burnout strategies.

Have you seen the memes???
The ones going around social media that say it's not possible to form habits with ADHD 😭😬
I'll be honest, they scared the life out of me. What's the point in trying if a disability dictates it's impossible😐
THEN I did my research (and some self reflection) and realised not only is there no scientific backing for that hypothesis, but we KNOW that can't be true! I'm willing to bet you have formed plenty of bad habits right? And if you dig deep, there will be some positive ones in there too - it's all about HOW we form those habits that dictates whether we lock them in or not.
It is absolutely possible for ADHDers to create a habit, we just need a system specific to our brains! On reflection, I have created a wealth of healthy habits. Since my diagnosis I: Exercise regularly, follow a mindful morning routine and daily gratitude practice, follow a weekly planning and organisation routine and consistently post this podcast every Friday! For all of these achievements I can trace their success back to Four Simple Steps that I'm sharing in today's episode.
I would love to hear about your habit wins and how this episode helped if it does. You can find my socials to get in touch below...

Story Time!!! ADHDFest has started 2024 with a bang🎉, so I'm here to share the secret to how I've done it (so far!)🤫
Career has always been my ADHD Achilles heel. Although I'm sure I've looked successful over the years - I was an actress on prime time television and in theatre, working alongside celebrities such as Sheridan Smith, Greg Davies and a fair few Noughties Popstars in my Panto days (any Steps/Sugababes fans in the house?) - but acting work is unpredictable and antisocial, there's very little downtime and you travel to wherever the work is.
I'm a homebird at heart and after I had my son, Theo, I never wanted to leave him, so I needed another plan🤷♀️ .
Enter Tara the Entrepreneur!💪 Aside from acting, I have had roughly 8 different careers, including 3 different businesses and I have enjoyed them all.... but it came time to create something of my own, from scratch, that I would never get bored of. That's where the idea of ADHDFest was born and in today's episode, you will hear the strategy that has built that idea into a full time business! 🔥❤️

People Pleasing, or the "Fawn" response, is prevalent in those of us with ADHD, it's a natural result of spending years being misunderstood by the culture but also ourselves. You may think you're just a kind, empathic, helpful person (and you probably are!) but people pleasing has nothing to do with any of those things and is actually very damaging in the long term. It leads to burnout, inauthentic relationships and a loss of identity - I speak from personal experience! But what I can also tell you from that experience....is that it doesn't have to be that way. It can feel scary but I promise, once you learn how important it is to listen to and respect your own needs, life will become SO much easier 🥰 you will wonder why you kept it up for so long!

Before my ADHD diagnosis, I felt like I was failing.
Failing at Motherhood, Failing at Adulting...heck, Failing at Life! The realisation that I had a disability that explained my struggles 🤯 I wasn't lazy, this wasn't a choice, it blew my mind and gave me some relief ❤️ But the years of brainwashing, criticism and anxiety has been hard to undo, even knowing everything I believed about myself before was a lie! Over the last 2.5 years I have taught myself through trial and error, to shake off that old programming and rebuild my self confidence to a point where I am actually free to grow and enjoy life without shame and negative thoughts holding me back. I want to share my strategies with you 🥰
Recent studies have shown low self esteem and negative self talk are much higher in those of us with ADHD than our neurotypical peers (especially for late diagnosed women) and that's why WE NEED TO KEEP TALKING about this. So those early in their journey know they are not alone.

I reckon Mary Poppins said it best when she sang..."In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap... the job's a game!"
This trick has turned my nemesis chore (the dishes) into something I actually LOOK FORWARD to! I know....weird. I would have laughed in someone's face if they ever said that to me before but I'm willing to feel a bit silly to tell you the truth, it is possible to flip the switch from Hate/Love on household chores and life admin 🥰 and I'm going to tell you exactly how I did it on this week's episode.

ADHDFest was born from the idea of pairing ADHD and maniFESTation, for good reason. Yes we are looking for ways to survive the ADHD lows but why stop there? Surely we also want to reach for as many of the highs too ❤️💯
It's my belief that we ADHDer's were built to use the Law of Attraction to it's fullest, with our creative and magical thinking. And Bonus....Law of Attraction techniques also HELP improve ADHD! It's literally Win/Win 🏅 🏆 Let me explain how in this week's episode 🎧🎙

I have been using this strategy for years without even knowing it was helping my ADHD!
SOUND THERAPY! I have been well and truly down the rabbit hole researching all the ways you can use this free tool to not only help your focus and productivity but your sleep too, which is a huge factor when it comes to neurodivergence. I've summarised the 5 types of audio therapy that you can start using RIGHT NOW, whether on your morning commute or the comfort of your own bed. I can't wait to hear your thoughts so be sure to let me know if you try one of these. You can find me on Instagram, TikTok or The Facebook Group.

The title of today's episode may surprise you, I am usually a huge advocate of "Self Help" and finding strategies to improve ourselves but not at the expense of our self worth. Today I aim to convince you that you are not broken, you are not a problem to be "fixed" or cured.
Self help, manifestation and ADHD support strategies are there to ENHANCE our lives, not give us more rules, restrictions and guilt. Listen to the end for help using self improvement for your advantage.

ADHD Medication isn't for everyone, it's good to talk about the alternatives. But right now in the UK it's not only good, but necessary. Whether you can't get your prescription filled due to the shortage or are on the never-ending NHS waitlist for assessment or titration, ADHDer's are in desperate need of advice and strategy to help manage their ADHD naturally. So here's my personal recommendations and experience of what works.

Some days I just can't seem to get out of my own way!
How about you? All of your good intentions go down the drain because you can't find something or you've forgotten to prep or are running inexplicably late despite being ready hours ago?!!
The aim of this podcast has always been to provide a real, relatable and accepting view of ADHD in real scenarios, whilst also providing ideas for finding your unique flow, growth and North Star ⭐️
So today was a tough one (ADHD wise) and I hope sharing the story here and the eventual resolution will both give you a laugh eg "I do that too!" and give you perspective on how to make the most out of those days that are just a little harder.

After taking it to a vote on Instagram, ADHD inspiration and motivation was the clear winner and I am here to bring it to you by the bucket load. Inspired by @truly_tish_adhd iceberg posts about the hidden strengths we possess. There's soooooo many and I myself was on a huge high after recording this.
The list is endless so if there's something I've missed out be sure to come tell me on one of the channels below. ENJOY! (I did) ❤️

Apologies for the delay, like Slim Shady I am back 😎 and this week's episode is one I'm eager to share and dreading in equal parts.
Today, I get vulnerable in hopes to give you permission to get vulnerable - with yourself. So often with ADHD, we lie to ourselves as a coping mechanism. We build a super strong, get on with it mental attitude - which is admirable, but once you hit burn out, becomes devastating. We still have the mindset but our brains and bodies can't keep up, so we just end up criticising ourselves and exacerbating the issue.
By the end of the episode you will learn what may be holding you back from an easier life (with better results) and how to overcome it by asking yourself one, simple question 🙋♀️

Ever heard of a gong bath? Girl, if not, you haven't lived 🔥
But seriously, I tried it out a few times and I'm here to give you both my personal experience AND the science behind it. Not only does it have benefits in helping you fight your way through burnout and adhd overwhelm, but it actually can boost your focus too. A small but mighty episode this week, I encourage you to try this out.
Too burnt out to even try? We created the Burnout Bible to get yourself back to base level functioning in a no nonsense, no thinking required, fun way here:

Meditation.
I've received some requests to hear more about my personal experience in discovering and being diagnosed with ADHD aged 34. I've mentioned it here and there but been reluctant to go into everything because I wanted the ADHDFest Podcast to be about all of us, rather than just myself. However, after listening to a recent podcast by Mel Robbins about her personal experience, I realised, a personal story IS everyone's story, we all find a small part of ourselves in someone else and I found her story helpful and validating. So this episode, is mine.

Meditation.
Celebrity A listers, medical professionals and a multitude of studies have been praising this free technique and enjoying the very real benefits. ADHD wise, it really is helpful in counteracting some of the negatives (by targeting your prefrontal cortex, it's science apparently!)
...But none of that makes a difference if we find it painful to sit down and meditate in the first place. Personally my endless racing thoughts cannot be switched off at will - that's kind of the whole ADHD deal - I end up planning tonight's dinner, counting down the seconds or the opposite, falling fast asleep!
So what can we do?! in today's episode I'm going to share a technique that works in the same way as meditation whilst keeping you awake and engaged. I actually find it similar to stimming - mindfulness with fidgets 😂

One of my FAVOURITE topics to go deep on and something we all need to be aware of. I've found a real trend as I've been meeting more and more ADHD'ers, everyone has had experiences with severely toxic people or who they would describe as Narcissists. By bringing light to the ways in which we may bond quickly to someone, only to find out later they are toxic, we can hopefully avoid them all together. Most of the ADHD traits that attract narcissists, are also ones that attract wonderful people into our lives.... they're not flaws we need to fix, but we do need to be more aware of the motivation of people around us.
Book towards the end: The Worthy Project by Meadow Decor

Ok! Let's Experiment and Get Sh*t Done Together!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
(skip the intro option: action starts at 6 mins 45 secs)
"ADHD body doubling is a practice in which a person works on and completes potentially frustrating tasks alongside another person. The body double’s job is to help anchor the person with ADHD to the present moment and task, reducing the risk of distraction."
I am MEGA excited this week. A practical, hands on episode to get you motivated to clean and tidy your home. We are NOT aiming for perfection, we are just aiming for BETTER than the current situation - so no matter what your starting point is, you will end the episode with a win 💥
This was inspired by the American podcast - "Clean with me by Jessica Gutierrez" . Be sure to give them a listen, this is just my take with an ADHD specific approach. I am so excited to hear your feedback on this as I'm brimming with lots more body doubling ideas. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

Masking - do you think you do it? The truth is, you may have been doing it for so long that you're totally unaware. Let's talk about some examples and ask ourselves, is it always a bad thing? In the second half of today's episode we're going to work out if masking can be used to our advantage when we are trying to manifest our goals and dreams and where it can sometimes lead us down the wrong path.

Neurodivergents are known to connect in a different way to Neurotypicals but I have a hack to share that will be beneficial to ALL of your relationships with anyone, while still being you. A shorter, experimental episode this week as the topic is a little different to our usual theme but I'm hoping it packs a punch. Let me know how you get on!

There are so many pro's when ADHD'ers start their own business/side hustle but also a few drawbacks.
