Never in a million years did I think watching this would make me feel understood and heard and someone who’s suffered with anxiety also and the talk of alcohol contributes and everything I’m so relieved to hear someone I find entertaining to be this vulnerable and show people what it’s like xxx thanks liv

[@ameliamasters4836]

I am gobsmacked at how much I relate to the ADHD experience Liv had at school! I was always told off for daydreaming and couldn't emotionally cope with that either. I don't have diagnosed ADHD but always thought I had tendencies of this as well as anxiety :) very important to talk about!

[@emz_xo]

OMG same!!! Alot if what Liv talks about is so relatable to me especially all the school stuff 😢 I'm not diagnosed but definitely think I have some tendencies ❤

[@dharani607]

LOVED this episode, your mum is an ICON ❤ thank you for always keeping it real. So happy that you found your confidence and happiness Liv, you should be so so so immensely proud of yourself for smashing it when life wasn’t always easy to you, wishing you continuous success and peace keep smashing it beautiful 🤍

[@junemoore9684]

Absolutely loved this Episode. Your mum is beautiful Liv. You need to try and get dad on now . Oh and Brad definitely needs to come on too ❤

[@Sai-pj6ki]

Aww what a lovely Mum . You do have some of her mannerisms and obviously gorgeous and clever the pair of you xx

[@hassnatahmad5339]

Some guest recommendations: Montana Brown. I wanna know her story! How at 21 she was such a mature girl when she was in the Love Island Villa and what had shaped her into that girl!!!

[@sheenasmith275]

Lovely video. You are lucky having such an amazing mum. I hope you are now at peace now you are aware of ADHD. Talking like this will help so many people ❤❤

[@foxybingo2159]

your mom is so classy and articulate what a queen

[@cassiepower754]

What you said Liv about drinking alcohol to numb everything for quiet, wow that resonated. I say it to my therapist all the time, that I crave the numbness that drinking gives. I have used drink in that way, and now I don't drink anything. I think about it a lot and it's really fucking hard sometimes. I've also recently been (finally) officially told I have combined ADHD, and trying not to have imposter syndrome about it. I am alone, and I feel alone. But love your pods.

[@ericxspike]

Your mums amazing, loved this episode ❤

[@emz_xo]

Your Mum is beautiful & such a lovely lady! The utter hatred for Greggs is cracking me up 😂😂😂😂😂

[@judithplume8881]

Your mom reminds me a bit of Joanna Lumley x

[@natashac.boorom8189]

I want an interview with your dad! ❤

[@bylaurenjane]

Listening to your reaction of exams made me cry. I was exactly the same and have never heard anyone else describe it this way. I remember my entire body shaking with a panic attack in the exam hall. Diagnosed with panic disorder at 17, but now I have a young son with possible adhd, I’m starting to wonder if I do too. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@FayeOliver-X]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with ADHD, I got diagnosed when I was 7 and it wasn’t really heard of then so even tho I had a diagnosis there was no support in schools and the medication only calmed me down but everything else I had to deal with myself, now as an adult it’s effecting me differently, it’s a constant struggle x

[@emsh3400]

Your adhd story sounds like mine. I was diagnosed at 15. I still struggle with it! Also the way I laughed about your mum rolling down pissing 😂😂

[@rose_quartz_loveandlight]

great episode, liv's mum is so beautiful 💖

[@izzyjones2572]

Amazing episode ❤️ so interesting & insightful!!

[@PurplePatch2]

Loved this episode ❤ I’m mid 40s waiting for a dual ADHD and autism assessment and can relate so much to your childhood and teen experiences. If only it’d had been more known about back in your childhood and mine x x

[@bringitbex]

Massive fan of Olivia .. love this video of you and your mum , just like me and my daughter with the bants , my daughter and I both have ADHD , I’m 58 on may 1st and waiting on my psychiatrist assessment, I totally get how you feel Olivia ❤

[@swin1955]

Olivia, your Mum is awesome. You are beyond lucky.

[@ashg8207]

Such a similar relationship to my mum and me. And the same with the teenage years 😬😬😭

[@janinel1866]

OMG I love your Mum I think she’s around the same as me I’m a very “young grandma 😂“ and the sand dunes story resonates 😂 💐

[@michaelastrange6857]

Love her. Love you both. Tv gold

[@lisahen5402]

I'm a single Mum with a teenage daughter who has ADHD. I'm about to watch this with hope for answers

[@vicki1868]

Teenage Olivia is why I'm terrified to ever have a daughter 😂

[@gerawood]

Love Mel b’s personality

[@Athomewiththewilliamsons]

This is a mother I wish I had. I have a ffffn shite mother, honestly have an application out for a new one. Apply within 😂

[@markosullivan2829]

Your mam and sister are identical 😍🙈

[@aaliyahashworth2328]
