Hi Bestiessss – It’s another SPECIAL throwback episode from the early days of our PATRE0N!

This episode is juicy AF and is packed with friendship dilemmas and vulnerable conversations about ADHD that we know so many of you will relate to.

First up, we answer a Patreon listener question: Grace shares a bit about her AuDHD diagnosis journey (and what that’s looked like over time). Tara talks through her own exploration of neurodiversity and why she feels she sits more in the ADHD-only camp.

DIVERGENT DILEMMAS:

💌 “My friend needs time to decide whether she wants to continue our friendship and I can’t handle the rejection.”

- We talk about our old babe Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), friendship limbo, and why ghosting hits differently when you’re neurodivergent.

- We also discuss why women with ADHD are way more likely to experience emotional highs and lows in friendships – and how we can soften the shame and start building safer emotional habits.

💌“Help! When I’m not nearby friends and family, I find it impossible to stay in contact.”
- Classic ‘out of sight, out of mind’ struggle!

- We chat about the emotional spiral that comes from not replying, plus gentle hacks to help you stay connected even when your brain is on ✨airplane mode✨.
