THE ORIGIN STORY: how one video changed our entire lives

[@ADiaz-tf3cy]

One word about your success: AUTHENTICITY. That's why the world loves you. ❤

[@jend4417]

Yep, thats the word I thought of immediately ❤

[@mamacitasasser]

Yes, that’s it! People relate to what you’re sharing -the messy but real truth. Then watching you learn to accept yourselves and walk it out strong lumps and all. And also forgive me but you’re so flipping cute together we are all rooting to see you win and taking notes. Good on ya ❤

[@lunaneila]

And more importantly not an orchestrated one to manipulate the masses!

[@Lisa.B.808]

Exactly the word that immediately came to my mind. 😌 There's not nearly enough authenticity these days. Let's not try to "set the stage" and create the facade that everything is perfect and life is "GRAND". As adhders, we're not interested in the superficial. We just wanna go STRAIGHT to the "nitty gritty". 😂

[@fluffybunnykins]

Yes yes yes. That’s the magic sauce

[@hannah51238]

You guys are amazing. I'm AuDHD, just divorced, three kids, debt, sexual abuse, lost my job, so I'm hoping 2025 will be my yeeeeaaar........ Thank you to both of you. You've helped me on my ND journey 🥰

[@Mrs.WyldRice]

Sending you good vibes for 2025!! You got this!

[@Judi-AustralianEmptyNester]

You've got this hun 🙌🏼

[@emilybelzer5773]

All the hugs. 2024 has been like that for me, too, and I just kept focusing on the idea that, in a year, I might still have problems, but they wouldn't all be the same problems, and it's turning out to be true. So things can look up. It hurts really bad and sucks so hard. You can stick with it, though, and the crap does start to fade.

[@lorettascott5477]

I agree 👍💯

[@thehousespouse]

You don’t have to hope. 2025 will be your year. I’m putting it out there into the universe. You’re going to reduce your debts, take steps to heal your trauma, discover more about your Audhd and how to work with it, not against it. Take steps to unmask and accept yourself. You’re going to be supported by your tribe.

[@OblivionsMemories]

I am autistic and ADHD, and often feel as if I am torn in two parts by them; one half logical and careful, the other impulsive and easily excited. Hearing you two talk about the struggles you've overcome by loving and trusting each other makes me realize I need to love and trust myself in the same way, so that I can overcome my own struggles. Thank you so much for this beautiful, kind, loving representation, and I can't even put into words how excited I am that you are now making longform content for us all to enjoy. You two are incredible.

[@WOLFIExBABYxSAMMIE]

I relate to this so hard

[@chairninja]

Learning to love & trust myself is key to healing my broken inner child and accepting my AuDHD self as I am. ✊💜

[@ChaoticAuthenticity]

Check out the AuDHD Flourishing podcast. I discovered it a few minths ago and have really enjoyed it so far. Being *both* AuDHD really has a lot of very unique challenges separate from either adhd or autism alone.

[@valkiryastein]

Exactly the same hahaha the nerdy and the party girls 😅 I have to learn to listen both and have a natural decision or something

[@neon_berni]

I feel exactly the same - thank you for putting your feelings about your ADHD half and autistic half into words and sharing! 😊

[@YourRecoveryDealer]

As a guy, 28. Who's been SA'd at 12 this helped so much to hear another man be so open about it. I was always told to not talk about that it makes people uncomfortable but tough tittys haha Also have ADHD and in recovery from hard drugs Two legends 🖤

[@kathrinewatson6321]

Wish I could send you a hug. Anyone that has been SA should be able to talk about it. It helps the healing process instead of self medicating to numb yourself. Sorry you had to go through that.

[@nerissarowan8119]

Sometimes the things that make people the most uncomfortable are the things that are most important to talk about.

[@YourRecoveryDealer]

@@nerissarowan8119 this is so true!

[@YourRecoveryDealer]

@@kathrinewatson6321 thank you your kindness means alot 🤍

[@brackalack1]

Guys, I could sit and listen all night. You're both the friends that everyone wishes they had ❤

[@annadickens9245]

I totally second this!!! I don't like to associate with people usually but they are an exception to the rule!!😊

[@alwayspeachie]

As a therapist these two beautiful souls are always on the top of my recommendation list. Thank you so soooo much for your vulnerability and all the hope you have given to myself, and fellow neurodivergent travelers. BRAVO!!!!

[@alfelker]

So much we can relate to. My wife ADHD & me autistic married 20 years and 73. Diagnosed 2 years ago and started watching your KZbin channel. We have had a T-Shirt / Toy store for the past 12 years. We can see how my wife has the ideas and research & I do the grunt work around home & at the biz. We look forward to your next episodes. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@EdgeOfTime4455]

I love what a diverse age range these two attract. Ageism has no place here because they are so inclusive and relatable. ❤❤❤

[@shawgeasland2096]

4:52 ... Yes, yes, yes, tell him how great he is and we need more of loving men examples in this world. Especially for those of us who grew up without loving fathers in our lives.

[@ADHD_love]

Rich here, thanks so much for your kind words 🩵🌸

[@Mushroom321-]

Yes!!!!, the world / socitey needs more LOVING MEN examples!! 🤔😼☝🏽☝🏽😃👏🏻👏🏻🤩✅️

[@plushieangela]

You're also not giving excuses for your mistakes, Rich. You're showing up and working out how to do life with Rox, and it being ok for you both to trip, fall and get back up again. So many of us have been criticised for things that we don't know how to change or control. You there like 'its ok, deep breath, we can work with this.' Many of us have become accustomed to just not being accepted and being like 'well, that's it then, thats my lot in life'. Can I also say, Rox, I love your chaos. As someone with audhd its my kind of normal

[@olazissou2211]

I've only watched your shorts 'till now. A psychiatrist recommended your book, so I'm gonna buy it. I'm 40 and freshly diagnosed ;)

[@Greatchris27]

I'm 42 and on the 3rd version of myself 😅 I should probably get the book . I might be the one book I actually start and finish

[@EmmaMorgan09]

The book is awesome!!!!

[@DJmouse85]

Their books are awesome.. made me cry and laugh and all the feels ❤

[@juliannewegesend-ako3545]

The audiobook is included in Spotify Premium if you have it

[@bethstovell8608]

I’m so thankful for this and for your content in general! I’m the only neurotypical person in our five person household with 3 kids and a husband with ADHD. Our home is framed around ADHD and you both help me understand how to love my family better. Thanks for what you do!

[@thelondoners-lifeisart]

Love it - mine was growing up too - Gran & Mum so forgetful and dithery and Dad and my Brother hyper focusing away on their various hobbies ! Coming together for meals and dog walks. It’s been more of a struggle in my adult life as life got more complicated living away from home in USA with a very big job so very thankful for the reminder of how humor creativity and having a buddy for support is the way to go… Huzzah 👻⚡️💙💜❤️⚡️

[@lisatakeitorleaveit]

It’s all about understanding. My partner of 10 years is 64 and had never been diagnosed.I have a neurodivergent son so I started to understand him and what it was about very quickly. When I broached the subject with him after some time it was such a relief to him. A lifetime of broken relationships, money problems and blaming himself and suddenly it made sense to him. it’s not a character defect it’s they way his brain works. Honestly with humor we have so much fun with it. He is such a joy and all the things are part of him. I learned to approach things in a way that doesn’t hurt him as well as forget 90% of the stuff that doesn’t matter. At the same time he has learned not to over react when I do bring things to his attention. No one talks about how wonderful it is to be in a relationship with a person with ADHD - it’s always fun and new 💕 he is also been completely sober for 36 years. He too in his youth had relied on medicating himself. XOXO.

[@katharine_rose]

Thanks to finding your tiktok videos, I sought and received an ADHD diagnosis last year. I'm 55 years old and the last year has made a lot more sense than ALL the years previously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@traceydonovan2662]

I'm 62 and am pushing for diagnosis (bi-polar, ADHD, autism) I may have none or all of these "issues", but either way I'm determined to get the therapy and help I now believe I deserve.

[@ariverdreaming]

Your studio is adorable!! Very adhd friendly there’s a lot to look at hehe

[@soojbolton]

I really don't normally comment on KZbin videos but it was watching shorts by you both that came up on Facebook and meeting my current partner, who has ADHD, that led me to see my doctor after seeing so many similarities. I'm now on a waitlist to see specialists to confirm it completely and start any treatment but I have been told I have Autism and ADHD. I just thought it might be good to know that you did for somebody what the one you mentioned in this podcast did for you, helped somebody see and move forward to get the help and support they need.

[@Dimvple]

I can not tell you enough that how much I needed to hear "life gets better if you have the support". Just a month ago Ive got diagnoesed with ADHD. I was and still feeling 'too late' but this ep really make me feel like I can do better and I can try again. pLUSS You should made it longerr!! I can listen to you guys talking for HOURSS!!!! much love from Türkiye

[@sarahahn6598]

I also think that I have ADHD and my husband has autism (both undiagnosed) and we are very different. But we can actually complement each other well. Without him, I wouldn't have time to go to bed at night and would be completely exhausted the next day. And I wouldn't be able to have breakfast and maybe sleep 5 minutes longer. He has to get to work before me, so he makes me a lunch box. And on the other hand, his social skills have improved because of me and he is learning to cope with new things.

[@tmm6884]

AuDHD and a large bit of mania has pushed me through 2 masters degrees, an MS degree, a PhD and stage 3b inflammatory breast cancer. I'm in remission now and I am going to nursing school because the oncology nurses who administered my nearly 8 months of chemotherapy saved my life, literally. I have all the gratitude to these women. And, not a single fck when it comes to people thinking it's weird to go back for a Bachelors degree after 4 advanced degrees. I bend with the wind because otherwise I will break.

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

Great start to the new year. I know this will be kind, fun and hopeful. And I need that. Happy new year to everyone!🍀❤

[@ADHD_love]

Thanks so much, happy new year to you 🌸

[@LesleyHamilton-Messer]

I love this, and as an extremely late bloomer, it is just full of hope.The thing you haven't mentioned is your willingness and courage to reveal your vulnerability to the rest of us. That's costly, and doing that is a gift that I value. You are 'wounded healers' - may your higher power bless you and your work in 2025. Thank you for your service x

[@alisonbarry4872]

I love this so much and I’m only minutes in. Rich , your wife just said it” you are a man who is real and showing and helping other men in the same situation and couples that are taking in all the knowledge you have to give “ it’s rare to see such healthy relationships on the internet, I love you both to the moon and back. I cannot wait to go follow on tik tok. I’m late to tik tok. I used to use it more, but I’m going back just because I want to follow you both!

[@Lexiilove92]

Just started and loving it already. So on brand 😂

[@ADHD_love]

Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it 🌸

[@angelaevans5858]

I’ve been following you for a while now and I love your content. My husband and I have been together for 20 years and I was diagnosed at 28 with ADHD and my husband was diagnosed with autism last year after having 3 kids on the spectrum. We are both now 40 and have been through some crazy times in those years but have finally managed to be better than ever. Understanding is key. Thank you for starting this podcast.

[@Heichan86]

I think I have ADHD but no diagnosis and I don't want one. I just think I don't want to start taking medication now rather late in life. The hardest things to deal with are the disorganisation, the poor time management leading to lateness, and recently the quite extreme anger that only reveals itself when I'm alone and disappears completely when I calm down or solve the problem and feel compassion/empathy for the person who umwittingly triggered it - but I don't know if that's a symptom or me being over-stressed. One reason why I feel I don't need medicine is the support and understanding I feel through watching yours and other podcasts - and the laughs I get!

[@tracyb7773]

Actually, the rage triggering can absolutely be a symptom. A lot of times we are triggered by something and have a fight or flight response. Like if somebody cleans up what looks to them like a pile of junk, but we knew exactly where something was, and it just happened to be in that pile! Now we're pissed because somebody screwed with our "chaotic logic". Sorry...that's just an example of one thing that can trigger my ADHD rage...lol

[@Zyenthillias]

You guys are an ABSOLUTE Inspiration!!!! ❤ I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36 less than a year ago, and it has literally turned my life upside down!! I tend to feel a sense of urgency to "hurry up and get my life together" because I've basically just been *surviving* all this time, and like you said: I definitely feel behind in life. But I happen to have a kickass husband who's been my rock for 16 years now (neurotypical, go figure! 😆), and you're making me think maybe we should take another stab at a tag-team venture now that I'm getting treatment and learning how to manage everything at last. 🤔 Love you guys!! Every single thing you post is making a positive difference for either myself or the rest of this community, so do whatever you have to do to keep making content (even if you have to step back occasionally and rest/nurture yourselves for a time). SO grateful that I found you two. ❤

[@Umtata64]

6:49 not just comparing yourself to others, but comparing yourself to what you know you are capable of. You know that you should be able to do it because you've done it before, and you know how to do it and there's nothing stopping you from doing it except that invisible disability that you don't know you have.

[@Greatchris27]

I'm 42 and just discovered I have ADHD and starting the 3rd version of myself

[@RandiMarie_1983]

I appreciate this, I'm 41 and have started over a million times and now setting here not knowing how to get thru now, reverting back to self harm and crazy anxiety driven madness. I was an 80s Ritalin baby, adhd has stolen so much from me but has given me beauty at time. I'm about to possibly lose my home, electricity is about to be shut off. It's just plain hard but i am taking it moment by moment and counting the blessings i can. I adore y'all and appreciate your podcast.

[@CathyWilliamson-e9v]

I found my people… USA here with all my love you have brought me a new perspective on my life, thank you!

[@RunningAway_1990]

Finding the right people has been the hardest part for me. I really hope to finally be able to find people I can feel this support in 2025, I am looking forward to more episodes but even it is a 3 months and done thing, even this one episode is packed full of good stuff that I am hoping you can stick around. Just bought your first book and excited to give it a read through...thanks again for such meaningful and well considered insights

[@PiriPiri175]

Same, im at the edge. But i know you will find nice people who will love you like you are.💜🫂 Greetings.

The magic for me is the level of transparency and authenticity. It makes you guys completely relatable.

[@fionavanrensburg1795]

So glad I found this. Watching from East London, South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@nana9638]

Thank you. Last week, on December 27th, I received confirmation from a psychiatrist about having ADHD; on December 29th, I turned 36. I also have to move out with my partner by January 5th, and we only found a house on December 30th. On the 31st, it turned out to be a complete wreck for way too much money, and of course, I left the worst of the packing for the last days. Here I am, sitting and taking apart a cabinet on January 1st at 1:00 a.m., listening to your podcast, feeling grateful that there are people like you who share a piece of their lives and remind us how good it is to be here and experience life in all its aspects and disabilities. :) Thank you, and I wish all of us here the ability to create happiness on our own terms-even "at the last minute." ;)

[@LucyFoy]

I love the fact that Rox doesn't really show any embarrassment and is quite open when talking about self harming. $h is very difficult to talk about and I know that from experience. Thank you both for creating such a safe space where people can feel comfortable being themselves.

[@BohoBikerChic]

I really never leave a comment on KZbin so this is a first, but I've been following you for a while now and this is all so relatable to me! I'm so glad that you started this podcast! My daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago and I got mine today! So glad I'm not going mental and that I'm starting therapy from now on. Most difficult for me has been to not be afraid to live life. To be 100% myself and not feel like a total failure. I'm so happy you helped me see that life doesn't have be like this. And that I'm good enough. You're helping so many people with your life story and struggles. Thank you for being genuine from the bottom of my ❤ Greetings from The Netherlands.

I‘m in happy tears right now, for you, seeing how far you‘ve come and because of you, giving me and so many people hope through showing some love and understanding. Loved your shorts, loved your books, love your podcast … will have to check out your app, I guess. 😂❤

[@stacylynncarter9767]

I am SO exited to see you two doing a podcast. Your content has been a huge help to me. I use your app to clean my disaster rooms and often share your content with loved ones trying to understand me and love me better. I am an AuDHD 32 year old with a great deal of debt, no real job history, a million thrown-away projects, an alcohol dependence, and more bad relationships in my past than I care to count. BUT, I am now married to an amazing partner raising a toddler in a house that we own. Still a ton to sort out, but you two always offer up the motivation (and the solidarity) that I need.

Thank you so much for putting such authentic content out there. Hearing you both makes me feel validated. I have an autistic son, and i believe an undiagnosed adhd husband and im beginning to think i might be audhd myself. Being able to "tune in" to you both, especially on this podcast, has helped me so much. You are both brave and inspirational. I would particularly love to hear Rich's autism story if you can do a podcast/video about that too. Sending you all the love and good vibes for 2025! ❤xxx

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as a 54 year old. I ofc went to KZbin hyper focussing on ADHD creators. So overjoyed for the information, humour and compassion you showed me.

Connor dewolfe is also the person that switched that lightbulb on for me too! That young chaps video literally saved my life. I was diagnosed 2yrs ago. I've been on meds (stims) for about a year and a half. I probably wouldn't be here right now without that. It's actually a complete certainty. I'm turning 40 this year and I wish I could have had this from being a teen. I feel like I've got this whole life that I could have had. I'm so glad you guy are doing this, its so lovely to see. Sending my love from Scotland

[@violetplatt4081]

Loved this. I especially relate to your relationship because I have ADHD and my husband of 43 years has always loved, accepted and helped me. Because of that I have a life I enjoy. We've known about my ADHD for 32 years but have recently realized that he is on the spectrum. 😊 With love, apparently, that's a good combination!

[@ADHD_love]

[@kasimndfck5320]

[@kimbedoya8489]

The both of you are so inspiring. I have PTSD and ADHD I just started therapy in November. I grew up in a dysfunctional family and home. Had a toxic abusive relationship took me 15 years to get out of. My stepfather was sexually abusive and still is. I am a recovering heroin addict. My life right now with my husband and my daughter is a disaster. Trying come out of crisis mode in order to put my life with my family together. I really feel not sure if I'm going to make it. But I want to. If it weren't for people like you being honest there wouldn't be hope for others like us out there looking for an answer or just some guidance

[@lynncliatt4221]

The empathy and compassion between you two is so very healing! The mutual understanding is EPIC! This is love ❤️ Thank you for sharing ❤

[@Alice_Walker]

Thank you both so much for this. I'm 45, and despite being aware I'm smart and kind haven't gotten a "proper" relationship off the ground in over a decade and am still in quite a bit of debt (though less than this time last year). I think I'm going to go get assessed this year because I want to go back to uni part time and I think it might help to know exactly what I'm dealing with as I make changes. My stable, well paying career has been good to me but I don't want to do the same thing for another 20 years. I have a good feeling that 2025 will be hard work but productive 🤞🏻✨ P. S. The pink microphones are so rad 🤟🏻

[@dianeatpeace337]

Congrats on working your way out of debt! And on prepping yourself properly to go back to school. We may not be able to accomplish everything we want all at once, but we certainly can (& should) celebrate each step taken in the right direction 🥳

[@shazsimpson369]

Love your new podcast. I was diagnosed with adhd in january 2020 when I was 50. Now things make sense to me now, I did try medications, but they didn't suit me. so i'm just careful with what I eat and drink. I think you are an amazing couple. Love to you both 💕 😘

[@cuzned1375]

I’m 52, diagnosed ADHD roughly a year ago. My wife wants to be supportive and understanding, bless her, but we’re both just learning together. I’m sure it took Rich a while to get to that place, first suppressing the tuts and eventually letting go of the tutting tendency, and maybe in future episodes we’ll hear more about the journey. I’ll admit that i was first drawn to this channel because it’s a cute lady talking about a thing that suddenly interests me a great deal. But i’ve grown to love the pair of you, as individuals and as a couple. Thanks for showing us more of your teamwork! ❤

I absolutely love this podcast already. I'm reading small talk at the moment that my hubby bought me. Together with this podcast I think they will honestly help me heal and change how I view myself and my partner from here on in. I cannot thank you enough!! Hooray for Lime and Sodas! Xx

[@KerryFlanagan-o5w]

So proud of you guys you have come so far. You are helping so many people. I have both autistic and adhd kids and family can be very challenging but also very rewarding too.

[@LyndaAlsford]

I've been following you guys for a while and have just been diagnosed with ADHD and the psychiatrist suspects I'm autistic as well so I will be going ahead with an autism assessment too. What I love about your content is your realism and not hiding the difficulties but celebrating the good things as well. I follow Rich on his own socials as well because it gives me hope that somebody without ADHD can understand somebody with ADHD. Maybe my friends and family will come to understand what I'm like more than they do now. 😊 I feel seen. 😊😊. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@AlexLeporiday]

Authenticity is the reason I've stuck with you! Found you by chance and all I can say is keep being you, the ups, down, and all the squiggles in between.

[@nikkimansell2760]

I am not diagnosed but, from following your accounts I am 99.9% certain that I have ADHD and need to look into the options for assessment as I have a GP who thinks that I am just trying to collect different diagnoses (I have hEDS, endometriosis and am under assessment for POTS and sleep apnoea as well 🫣😬). But even if I never go through with getting a diagnosis, I now have a better understanding of why my brain works the way it does and the many challenges I’ve had throughout my life. So a huge thank you to you both for helping me along the way! Xxx

Thanks so much for your shorts videos and now this podcast my 11 year old son with ADHD has said you've helped him so much to make him feel "normal" and "not alone" 💕 we watch your videos when he's having a episode and really calms him down. Even been in tears feeling like he's got his community now and so thankful 💕

Good morning and happy new year from across the pond! Cheers to 2025. Let’s make this an amazing year, including all of the ups and downs. I recently heard another fellow ADHDer (Karen McGill) listing five points about ADHD and productivity. When you have a goal that you want to reach, it is a lot less about the actual end goal, and the thing that you are reaching for. It is about the journey…. the struggles and triumphs along the way paint your path into a tapestry that you could never have worked out in your brain… but somehow, all the pieces end up falling together as we build our multimedia art puzzle. The journey is full of all these little facets and pieces that make you you. And all of the little pieces are parts of your individual, unique story.

i cant waitt for the next episodes!!! also your app is genuinely a life saver and i use it on a daily basis i don't know what i would do without it!! 🤗🤩🤩

[@alisonbarry4872]

I could literally watch you guys for hours. It’s so enjoyable and interesting, with natural comedy.

[@KatTavolacci]

I love your podcast studio, it’s gorgeous and inviting! You two are a shining example of how important it is to never give up and ask for help! Finding a good therapist is a game changer. It’s so uplifting to see you two working together! 🙏💕

[@zer03d14]

Defs happy with you guys going into the podcast format, I like having chill stuff to listen to while working and the longer format of you guys just chatting really fits a niche.

Just before Christmas, I was diagnosed with ADHD after 36 years. Thank you so much. So much of what you’ve said has resonated with me. I wonder if you would talk about medication if that’s something you take. I’ve got a 7 - 10 month wait to be assigned a prescriber to initially try a non-stimulant medication. I am a medical cannabis patient and have managed many of my symptoms this way. Anyone else have experience in this regard?

[@AntiNay]

You two are so real. I loved hearing your origin story. It gives this effed up old broad hope I can still get my stuff together!!!

[@GingerButNot]

What a fab start to your podcasting journey! Even though you are talking about some big or difficult things, you do it with such clarity and confidence and can’t wait for more! You both rock (also can’t wait to see Rocket on the podcast!)💕

[@nitzahs-m9800]

You both are beautiful!!! You show the reality of ADHD and other ND needs, without shaming, or needing to fix everything. Most books and resources are about how to fix ND.

What a great way to start the new year (honestly, as I've not actually gotten up yet, lol). Rich and Rox, thank you so much for this. It's wonderful to know where you both started from, to see what's possible. That loving and respectful relationship is such a huge goal - whether it's just interpersonally or romantically. It's definitely a side we needed to see. Thank you Rox, for being so open. And thank you, Rich, for being the steadying base and the voice of hope. Already so excited for the next installment! Well done, you two. 💜💜💜💜

[@blueberrydreamslight]

You both deserve all the good things that have come your way! What you're sharing feels so healing and important. Thank you ❤

[@draw-enna-akire]

That was so deep and explanatory.... So great to see you in a full discussion. Loved the focus on the positive sides of ADHD and how you work together to support one another. A++ content! Love this and more please! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@elliewright6187]

So pleased you have a pod now. I've deleted social media for personal reasons but still being able to enjoy your content through this format is amazing. Late bloomers is a perfect name btw! all the love

[@lisanorris3794]

You guys have absolutely made me feel normal. I also no longer see my traits as wrong or negative, they are just me. This has also, in turn, caused me to stop trying to change things about my children and instead work with their skills to help them.

[@BlueberryIce096]

I'm so glad it happened, you guys are amazing, so truthfully and open, your relationship is so beautiful, love you both! 🫶🏻

[@roxannetinch5552]

I love you guys. So much of what you've shared I've experienced. I'm 45 and ADHD, among other things. I'd love to listen to you guys every day. Thank you for helping. 💗💗💗

[@scorpiomoon6222]

Thank you for the inspirational video's , really helps me understand myself when i feel lost. Im ADD and in the grieving proces of losing my child 5 years ago. Im verry blessed with a loving and supporting partner. Your authenticity and humor really lights up my sad moments ❤️🍀

[@5amiann]

You two together are magic. Thank you for making so many feel accepted.

To start with, The toilet paper rolled "tampons" (which for me are more of a pad) made me laugh SO HARD to hear about as I thought I was the only one. 😂😂😂!! To resonate further, I am also a POWERHOUSE of ideas with a very large storage building in the back for all the thousands of ones that have never made it! 😅 Can't even tell you how many phone notes, laptop notes, etc. I have of " ToDo", "Ebooks", "Business Ideas"! I love hearing about others who have the same. Love you both so much! Cant but the book as zi would buy it and then read 2 chapters and forget it exists until 2 years later, I read 5 more chapters, get distracted, and 30 years later my grand child finds it in a box, and Im like, " Oh yeah, I remember that!" Lol. You have helped me to explain adhd to my husband( diagnosed at 27 or 28), and helped him with ways to manage the adhd and myself with love. I am sold on this podcast, let's go.

[@nickorange4881]

the rolled toilet paper. you go with what you got. and yes an audio book would be amazing. now i feel like i dont have the attention span to well to sit and read. but audio book i put a increased speed , did a craft and got through it over a week ? week and a half. and then i was like....... im done? D: im done? but project isnt done yet. lol

[@Deanpeach]

I first encountered you two on tiktok and I'm so glad you've come over here with a pod. You're calm and kind reassurance has really helped me feel 'OK'. I've just written out a paragraph of the things that have negatively impacted my life and realised I didn't want to post that to the world... But a LOT has happened in the last 20 years. I'm about to start again. This has felt so intimidating, slightly shameful because 'I should have it together by now' and mostly because I was trying to fit my jigsaw piece into other peoples puzzles. Thank you for doing this, I am 32 and am feeling like I'm just getting started!

[@xanas93]

You guys are bloody amazing. Your videos on my fyp helped me realise I'm actually not a POS but my brain is in fact different and that's ok. They helped to give me the much needed kick in the bum to get my ADHD diagnosis and I realised I'm not alone. So thank you. I'm so happy you guys started a podcast! Really looking forward to what you put out in the world 🎉

[@simonebye6771]

Love this so much! Newly diagnosed AuDhD 56 year old woman. Great first episode ❤
