S2E21: ADHD Self Recognition & Growth + guest Meredith Jones

Julie Legg speaks with radio host, advocate, and mum of two neurodivergent children, Meredith Jones. Through supporting her children, Meredith began recognising familiar patterns in herself, leading to a journey of curiosity and self-awareness around ADHD.

While currently undiagnosed and on the ADHD assessment wait-list, she is on a journey of understanding how her brain works, allowing herself to implement meaningful strategies for emotional regulation, daily structure, and self-compassion. This conversation is a wonderful reminder that you don’t have to wait for an official diagnosis to begin supporting your brain. Sometimes, recognition is the first and most important step.

Key Points in the Episode:

• Why Meredith started questioning her own neurodivergence 
• How rejection sensitivity was a major clue in her ADHD discovery journey
• The emotional weight of being misdiagnosed with depression for years
• How self-understanding has brought compassion to her past and present self
• Why validation and curiosity are key before and after diagnosis
• The role of somatic tools, sensory techniques, and low-pressure routines
• How she’s building a more supportive world for others through her radio show and podcast
