  • Charlotte Hastings: Addiction, attachment & cooking as therapy

    Charlotte Hastings: Addiction, attachment & cooking as therapy
    Nov 4 2024

    Episode 192 with Charlotte Hastings.


    “I used to pray as a girl: ‘Please, let me sit in my seat. Please, don’t let me shoot my mouth off. Please, just let me be a good girl. I just want to be like everybody else.’”


    Charlotte is a trained psychodynamic counselor, a nutrition and cookery instructor, and a former head of drama at a boarding school for dyslexic, autistic spectrum, and ADHD students in the UK.


    Her recipe of personal and professional experience, skills and passions have all fed into the creation of Therapy Kitchen. Charlotte integrates therapy with cooking to enhance personal and social well-being in individuals and groups. Her new book, Kitchen Therapy: How to Become a Conscious Cook, was published this past summer and is a cookbook and psychotherapeutic adventure in one, exploring the psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions food holds for us.


    Charlotte and I talk about how she uses cooking and kitchen therapy to support neurodivergent clients and students, as well as her own journey of unraveling the ties between addiction, attachment, and ADHD. We also talk about the role of trauma and childhood development in ADHD, and the importance of connection and nourishing our brains in the kitchen and everywhere else.

    Christal Wang: Affordable, culturally competent ADHD coaching
    Oct 7 2024

    Episode 191 with Christal Wang.

    “Everyone shimmers differently. It’s all about figuring out what is the unabashed, unapologetic, sparkling version of you.”

    Christal is the co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, the first-ever comprehensive behavioral tech platform for adults with ADHD. Chris started Shimmer after she was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and she is now on a mission to create a more neuro-inclusive world for all neurodivergent individuals.

    Chris is a recognized Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur with a strong belief in using business as a force for good. As a queer neurodivergent AAPI woman, she is deeply invested in advocating for and supporting these communities.

    Christal shares how her Asian upbringing and cultural stigma around mental health diagnoses initially delayed her ADHD diagnosis. She also talks about the challenges she faced in finding affordable, culturally competent ADHD care and coaching, which inspired her to create Shimmer.

    We also talk about the unique strengths of ADHD entrepreneurs, including drive and a desire to challenge the status quo, and we chat all about the amazing resources and support that are offered at Shimmer, including personalized 1:1 video coaching, productivity tools, and learning modules.

  • Ella Fielding: Creativity, chainsaws, and redefining ‘adulting’

    Ella Fielding: Creativity, chainsaws, and redefining ‘adulting’
    Sep 2 2024

    Episode 190 with Ella Fielding.


    “My thoughts are like sneezes.”


    Ella is a distinguished sculptor based in Surrey and London, with over 15 years of expertise in chainsaw carving. She has created monumental installations at events like Glastonbury Festival, and she is one of the featured master-crafters on “The Woodland Workshop,” which airs on Discovery Plus.


    Ella and I talk about her diagnosis of ADHD at the age of 38, which came 20 years after her diagnosis of dyslexia in university. We discuss Ella’s academic experiences, her artistic journey, how she discovered chainsaw carving, and how she realized her ADHD brain is fundamental to her creative process.


    We also talk about how our imaginative, intuitive, and curious neurodivergent brains can really shine when given the opportunity, rather than feeling like we’re ‘less than’ because of those tedious, administrative tasks that tend to be, ahem, more challenging — and how maybe it’s time to start redefining the term “adulting.”

Terminology

I am 48-yr professional technical single mom of 3 girls, and I am about 3 yrs since my adhd diagnosis. I found this podcast about 6 months ago. Here are select ways I find this podcast helpful…
-Terminology around the experience of being a woman with adhd. I will hear a word in this context and I can look it up and know it’s a thing.
-I get ideas for strategies I can try.
- I get validation of my experiences.
- Sometimes gives me the words to express my experience and struggles.
-Reflect on my experience and process. Helps to answer some of my questions about my experience, or even to identify things I don’t struggle with is helpful.
-Hearing the real voices of real women describing the things I struggle with is very powerful and reassuring about my experience.

Wow 😳

I'm 56 almost 57 and my Doctor wants me to speak with someone for possible ADHD. When I started researching, Audible kept popping up with Women with ADHD title. so I signed up. I can relate to almost Everything! I cry and laugh at listening. I also feel lost. I'm not able to get into someone until February 2022. When I think back there are so many cue's. Also, job after job and just recently passed aside on a position that came up. I am as told I'm loud, hyperfocus, and don't remember that good. This was all prior to my Doctor suggesting I get checked out. Anyhoo, I'm so glad I found you and the podcasts! I feel this will get me through until my appointment and then some. Thank you 🤗

You have helped me find myself!

You have helped me beyond words! I finally feel like I am beginning to understand who I am. I knew I was a hot mess but couldn't figure out why I was always so overwhelmed in what should have been normal situations...even having someone over to my house caused incredible anxiety. Thank you for helping me understand why my brain works the way it does and I finally don't feel so alone!

Greatful

I really appreciate the story of bad student. Most of the stories I hear of women are usually working extra hard or just being natural at it. I was a horrendous student and just could not get it right until as an adult when diagnosed and putting measures in place to keep things stable.
