In this episode, I chat with my wonderful friend, Dr Hayley Kelly.
Hayley and I dive into my recent ADHD diagnosis. Hayley is Autistic ADHD and has been incredibly supportive throughout this whole journey so far.
We discuss: 🌟 the "messy middle" after a recent, but late, diagnosis - I was diagnosed when I was 44. 🌟 the confusion of losing who I thought I was and stepping into who I really am 🌟 the challenges that came with navigating life, friendships, and relationships, pre-diagnosis 🌟 Hayley's personal experience of being diagnosed in her 30s with ADHD and Autism 🌟 the journey we are on both to let our "square peg" lights shine bright so the other "square pegs" can find us! I'm excited to share our chat with you and at the same time, I am feeling quite vulnerable about opening up this early.
As Hayley puts it so well in this episode, we are still very much in the "messy middle" since the diagnosis.
