Transcribe →Losing My License Was Just the Start… My ADHD Journey
Feb 10, 202500:59:37Tap to summarizeThis is something I’ve never spoken about before… my ADHD journey.Getting diagnosed as an adult was a game changer for me but it also hit hard.Nobody talks about the grief you go through when you realise how different life could have been if someone had just noticed.I’m talking about the teachers who failed me, when I got my license suspended and car impounded (lol) and the GP who told me “I definitely had ADHD” in the most hostile way possible.Plus why my period basically turns my symptoms into a chaotic mess (and how I manage it).So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating this ADHD by yourself or you’re wondering if it might be what you’re dealing with, this one’s for you. I’ll break down how I finally got diagnosed (and a sneaky hack that saved me months of waiting). If you want to continue the conversation head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrand

Transcribe →How I Stopped Chasing Acceptance
Dec 16, 202400:31:12Tap to summarizeA big part of why I started this podcast was to set myself free from who I was pretending to be online and start showing up as my authentic self.In this episode, we dive into how our need for acceptance can sometimes pull us away from our true selves. From the pressures we face growing up to the societal norms we absorb, I’ll share my personal experiences and thoughts on how these influences shape us—and why breaking free from them is so powerful.I’ll also share some practical tips that have worked for me when it comes to rediscovering and embracing who you truly are. We’ll explore: • Building confidence in your authentic self • Setting and maintaining boundaries • Staying aligned with your valuesBecause at the end of the day, it’s not about changing for others. It’s about being unapologetically you and finding your people. The world doesn’t need another carbon copy—it needs you, exactly as you are. You’re here for a reason, and it’s time to tap into that unique, special power.I’m not a therapist or a coach—just someone sharing what’s helped me on my journey in the hopes it might help you too.If you love Emotional Content and want to see more behind the scenes or connect head over to @_emotionalcontent or @amyjanebrand
