Episode 5: Being a Neurodivergent Ally with Adelle Sushames

Hi guys, we are so excited to release Episode 5 with our FIRST EVER GUEST, Clinical Psychologist Adelle Sushames, who you may also know as Neurodivergent Ally.  In this episode, we are lucky enough to chat with Adelle on some of her key values and reflections on what it means to her being a neurodivergent affirming psychologist, and some of the challenges she has encountered in this space in her years of experience in supporting clients and families. We also discuss some of Adelle’s approaches, as well as some of her resources which she has developed to support neurodivergent clients understand their brains and individual needs. We hope you all get as much out of this episode as we both did.

Episode 4: Dating and Relationships (ADHD Remix)

Hi guys, welcome to Episode 4 where we cover something that we have personally and professionally found to be something that sits at the forefront of challenges relating to ADHDers and their wellbeing: relationships. This is a topic that will likely come up in many future discussions and episodes but in this episode, we discuss impacts and considerations around romantic relationships for ADHDers, as well as share some personal reflections into our own experiences and challenges. Strap in for a funny, vulnerable and hopefully insightful and informative episode. We believe there is something for everyone within this episode regardless of your gender, neurotype, relationship status or age.

Episode 3: Debunking the Dopamine Detox Diet (and all things Executive Functioning)

Welcome back for Episode 3 of the Got Your Back Podcast! Today, join Grace and Georgia as they jump on their soapboxes, don their psychologist hats (did they mention they are psychologists??) and dive into and demystify the fascinating world of dopamine, and uncover how it is produced differently in the ADHDer brain. The girls will then go on to explain how this relates to many of the features of ADHDers and the challenges this can create when functioning and interacting in a neurotypically designed environment. Let's embark on this journey together!

Episode 2: The 'Real Tea' on ADHD

Welcome back for Episode 2 of the Got Your Back Podcast!
