From sleepless nights to social pressure, judgement, poor time management, self-esteem, anxiety, friendships, and feelings of guilt – The ADHD Girls Podcast is a perfectly-named safe space, for people to hear discussions on a plethora of aspects of life consistently impacted by neurodivergence.
Claire and Laura host The ADHD Girls Podcast, a UK-based independent podcast that has stumbled upon a bold and beautiful niche.
Their connection with one another is a huge part of why these conversations flow so freely and without judgment or excessive self-editing. The realism and openness is refreshing, and will likely prove incredibly comforting to those living with ADHD.
Recently, the episode on Friendship, Self-Esteem & ADHD: Finding Your Tribe is a fantastic listen. The ADHD girls talk friend groups, keeping your circle small, and choosing whether to stick with those of special interests or a similarly ‘spicy’ mindset, or to branch out and work on building bridges with other types of people; even when that seems difficult. The conversation includes talk of Autism and other neurodivergent personality types, and ultimately presents an impressive balance of being all at once engaging, entertaining, welcoming, and wonderful.
Whether you’re living with ADHD or living with someone who is diagnosed or suspected of having ADHD, The ADHD Girls Podcast helps shine light on the unique nuances and experiences of this condition. Even if you’ve purely found yourself second-guessing your own experiences or interactions at the end of each day, there’s something deeply human and soothing about hearing Claire and Laura talk so freely about their struggles, and how they protect themselves, whilst putting themselves out there; preserving their own energy and well-being when needed. The ADHD Girls Podcast is an insightful and eye-opening listen from one episode to the next.
The ADHD girls have been releasing new sessions quite consistently since last year, and from the highs and lows of mental turmoil and mood swings, to the very basics of living daily life consumed by ADHD, the podcast acts as both a calming dose of British conversation and banter, and something of a real-life documentary that’s educational and societally important at its core.
