  • JORDAN STEPHENS: managing ADHD, sobriety, and healthy relationships
    2024/10/09
    This week’s guest is the musician, actor, writer, and podcaster Jordan Stephens. Jordan’s probably best known for Rizzle Kicks, the chart-topping duo he formed with his friend Harley Alexander-Sule, back in 2008. He's since released music as a solo artist, starred in various TV and film projects, published a children’s book, and now he’s written a memoir: Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs. In this conversation the pair discuss education, the impact of overnight success, ADHD, medication and self-medication, as well as their shared interest in psychedelics and Jordan’s journey towards healthier relationships. For more information on some of the subjects Jordan mentioned, there are links below (including more on Professor Nutt and that toad venom). And Jordan WILL return to On The Mend. These two just have too much in common.

So, if you move into power, you lose connection. If you move into accommodation, you lose your power.
