Takeaways

Boundaries are essential for fostering deep connections with oneself and others.

A lack of boundaries can lead to resentment and unhealthy dynamics in relationships.

It is important to distinguish between boundaries and rules, with boundaries focusing on one's own behavior and needs.

Identifying and setting boundaries can be challenging, especially for individuals with ADHD.

Setting boundaries is a promise to oneself to protect wellbeing and invite others to do the same.

Understanding and communicating one's needs is crucial for setting and maintaining boundaries.

Takeaways

ADHD can be diagnosed in adulthood, and the journey to diagnosis can be unexpected and challenging.

Transitioning from one career to another can be difficult for individuals with ADHD, but finding a job that provides mental stimulation and allows for ADHD advocacy can be fulfilling.

Creating resources like ADHD trait flashcards can simplify information and provide support for individuals with ADHD.

Being a social influencer can be overwhelming, and it's important to set boundaries and prioritize self-care.

Representation in the ADHD community is crucial, and there is a need for more diverse voices and experiences to be heard. Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is a common experience for individuals with ADHD, characterized by extreme emotional sensitivity and a tendency to ruminate on perceived rejection or criticism.

Coping with RSD can involve both healthy and unhealthy strategies, such as seeking support from trusted individuals, therapy, and developing healthy self-esteem.

ADHD tax refers to the costs incurred as a result of managing ADHD, including financial expenses due to impulsive spending and difficulties with managing subscriptions and financial responsibilities.

To avoid ADHD tax, individuals can take proactive steps such as educating themselves about financial matters, seeking advice from others, setting up reminders and recurring alarms, and developing healthy coping mechanisms.

It is important for individuals with ADHD to validate their own experiences and not let others' opinions or perceptions invalidate their feelings or struggles.

Self-advocacy and self-care are crucial for individuals with ADHD, and it is important to be kind to oneself and focus on personal strengths and passions.

In this episode of ADHD Babes, host Ana interviews Dr. Fiona Peters, a social care expert and author who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. Fiona shares her personal experience of seeking and obtaining a diagnosis, which was fraught with challenges and resistance from healthcare professionals. She discusses the impact of her diagnosis on her self-acceptance and understanding of her own strengths and challenges.

Fiona also talks about the intersectionality of being a woman of color and neurodivergent, and how it has influenced her work and the way others perceive her. She emphasizes the importance of embracing one's true identity and not conforming to societal expectations. In this conversation, Fiona Peters and ADHD Babes discuss the unique experiences of women of color with ADHD and the importance of advocating for oneself in the mental health system. They also explore the role of fear in holding us back from pursuing our goals and offer advice on confronting and overcoming fear.

Fiona shares her proudest achievement, which is her family, and emphasises the importance of self-discovery and embracing new chapters in life. Listeners are encouraged to visit Fiona's website for coaching sessions and resources.

We are back after some time out! I want to say a big thank you to those who have held on for new episodes and continued to support the podcast and ADHD Babes over 2023.

This episode was recorded at the end of 2022 looking to 2023, but we think it's still a good listen. :)

In this episode, we discuss the importance of reflection as we round up our year and our aspirations for 2023. We reflect on the struggles we've experienced over the year, and how we look to make changes to learn and apply to the year to come.

Introducing ADHD Babes: The Podcast...the podcast created by the community...for the community.

ADHD Babes is a community for black women and non-binary people to share their voices, experiences and knowledge. We aim to empower people with community, tools, learning and healing spaces to redefine ADHD, tackle its difficulties and utilise its strengths.

From finding out about ADHD to navigating through routines to managing symptoms. Whether that's a group discussion or a guest speaker teaching us more about our beautiful brains.

Join us for some discussions, learning and a good old rant.

Back 10th January 2024 and continuing fortnightly anywhere you listen to podcasts.

This week resident host Shereen catches up with Occupational Therapist, podcaster and entrepreneur Jenny Okolo.  As an OT, Jenny crosses paths with many patients who have been diagnosed with some form of neurodivergence. What is most interesting is the number of people who she works with who haven't had any formal diagnosis but may be on a neurodivergent scale.  Delving into Jenny's experiences, she explains exactly why neurodivergent patients should be treated with empathy and shares advice on what to do if you feel you don't have the right clinician for you.  For clinicians out there, she has some advice for you too.  Host Shereen - @black_chonky_rollerbabe Guest Jenny Okolo - Insta: JenOkolo  Resources Website https://www.adhdbabes.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/adhdbabes/ Twitter https://www.twitter.com/adhdbabes/ If you’d like advice from our babes on our Dear Babes episodes, you can send us a voice message by clicking here or a written message by clicking here.
