Hiii neurodivergent dreamboats!
We are popping in with a little update on all the goodies we've been stashing in our Patreon lately because you do NOT want to be missing this... ❤️🔥
This week in our Patreon-only episode we are bringing you a never-before-heard chat we recorded in the weeks BEFORE we started our podcast... all about Grace's experience being diagnosed and starting medication.
In this episode (initially recorded 9 months ago):
- Grace shares her raw emotions the night before her ADHD diagnosis, audio-journal style
- Straight after the appointment, in our hotel room, Tara & Grace debrief what happened in her psychiatrist assessment - the surprises, awkwardness and frustrating moments
- What starting stimulant medication was like in the first few months, and the differences she noticed
- Grace reflects on her anxiety and the traits she now identifies as AuDHD (but didn't at the time of recording), and how medication has impacted those
- Side effects of medication, including low appetite and weight loss, and why that can be a risk for people with ARFID
Listen to the whole ep on Patreon here!

We also hosted a Live Q&A on supplements last week with Tara (registered dietitian), and the Zoom call was recorded and uploaded to Patreon.
That's all babes! See you for our Thurs ep...
Don't RSD!
Grace & Tara xx
