ADHD MUMS

In todays episode, we chat to the wonderful Rosie Gil Moss of the Widowed AF, who candidly shares her unique journey to ADHD diagnosis. Rosie's insights into her private diagnosis of both ADHD and autism, offer a fresh perspective on the privileges and limitations of private diagnosis.

Parenting neurodivergent children as neurodivergent adults, can be complex, but it's a shared experience we are lucky enough, yet again, to share with our guest. Rosie navigates the challenges of managing a bustling household with four children, one of whom is Autistic, and others whom she suspects are neurodivergent. She shares the overthinking and overstimulation that can come with the life she has built since the tragic death of her first husband. It's a raw, honest look at the unique trials and joys of parenting in her shoes.

Together, we discuss the power of the self-awareness and self-acceptance that diagnosis brings. We also explore the unique struggles people face when seeking help and the societal pressures of parenthood intersect, reinforcing the stigmas around asking for support.

We would like to say an extra huge thank you to Rosie for her patience and understanding after our conversation was interrupted by wifi signal loss!

Special mention also to our great friend Ste Cole at What Studio, who shared his foolproof podcast recording advice in a consultation with us when we were preparing to launch. If we'd done exactly what you advised, we'd have been un-scuppered by the tech mess-up we experienced in this interview!

Next episode we begin PREGNANCY MONTH, looking at the complexities of pregnancy for women with ADHD.
