Buckle up buttercup because I have with me today the one- the ONLY- Laura Mears-Reynolds. Laura is a late diagnosed ADHD-er turned activist, the leader of the Leopard Print Army, and the co-founder and host of the WILDLY popular podcast ADHDAF where she shares stories, information, and resources for those seeking ADHD diagnosis and those who are already diagnosed.
She is also recently the founder of ADHDAF+, a charity for ADHD adults of marginalised genders at any stage of their ADHD discovery or diagnosis, in England, Scotland and Wales, along with the Make it Count Campaign and the Anti-Ableist ADHD Media Coalition.
We talk about ADHD and the f**kery of diagnosis both in the UK and here in Australia, finding joy and purpose in the chaos, how our diagnosis changed the way we view our lives, why we really need to stop calling it a “superpower” (it’s HARD y’all), fun jobs she’s had, fashion, relentless energy, the very boring, grown-up rewards of self-care, rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), justice sensitivity, activism for ADHDers (and why it’s so challenging and amazing) and why she is hopeful for the future.
By the end of this episode my stomach hurt from laughing so hard that I never need to do an ab workout again (thanks Laura!). We screamed, we cried, we snort laughed (OK, that was maybe just me).
This is another episode of Sisters in Stoke that will remind you that if you’re part of #TeamTooMuch you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in some pretty rad company and we goin’ on a mother**king SAFARI.
