This weeks episode is a solo and a very personal, vulnerable share. I share my journey with trialing ADHD medication and the reaction from my community and also my own experience.

I share:

- Details about my birth and the connection with my relationship with dopamine, food, and intimacy

- My journey of self-acceptance, maturity and embracing my true self

- How removing layers of defence have enabled me to find more fulfilment and connection

- The importance of prioritizing my own healing and well-being

- My overall experience with trialling ADHD medication

NB: In the episode, I mention that there were two groups of response when I told my community that I would be trialling ADHD meds, I talk about the first, but didn't come back to the second. The second were the people who were concerned about my physical and psychological dependency on the meds. I talk more about this in the patron part of the podcast this week.

The Psychiatrist I got my diagnosis from was Dr Hugo De Waal (I am only confident recommending him specifically rather than all their Doctors for diagnostics.)

Their mental health pharmacist Dr Azizah Attard has also been a real ally on my journey.
