Embrace Your ADHD Chaos

This is a BIG EPISODE full of sweary support: 29 minutes and 53 seconds is a good spot to stop and come back to if you don't have the time for such a chonky listen! We'll be listening and laughing along at 1.5 - 1.7 speed! Haha We think you'll love the mix of serious and silly as we dive into a deep topic that makes life feel a whole lot harder and heavier when you're carrying it alone... In this episode, we shared super vulnerably ALL of our "I should..." statements. Here are a few of the many we mention on this episode I should be more productive, consistent I should be organised and tidy I should be able to do x I should be better with money Neuronormative Standards: the false belief, assumption, and expectation that there is one right or superior way to think, feel, learn, behave, regulate, and communicate. It ignores the neurodivergent experience and existence. You can also read Ceri's latest essay that dives further into the topic of neuronormative standards. You can find us on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/embraceyourchaospod/ We are also over on TikTok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@embraceyourchaospod/ QUICK DISCLAIMERS: This show is MA15+ for neurodivergent adults who don't mind swearing, interruptions, loud "OMG I JUST REMEMBERED..." moments, tangents, and fast talking chaos queens who are doing their frickin' best. Love, your chaotic friends Ceri and Nannon xoxo

A big part of embracing your chaos? Allowing yourself to make mistakes, to be imperfect, to interrupt, and to share tangents without censoring yourself. Join us next week for one of our "more serious" (kind of, not really) supportive episodes to help you build your unique version of a neurodivergent-friendly life! Watch the cooked chook trailer here! Enjoy getting lost once again in this week's absolute chaos with: questionable attention to detail and our surroundings impatiently ripping open boxes like feral animals estimating how long it actually takes to 'do the thing' forgetting our most important tasks AND reminding you to do your MIT too!!!

Come meet your AuDHD cohosts, Ceri and Nannon!!! We bloody hope you enjoy our first episode. It is full to the brim of banter, laughter, and an extremely neurodivergent style of storytelling. Our plan is to release weekly episodes, one for fun and one for support with building a neurodivergent-friendly life! But first, some quick disclaimers: This episode is sweary, so save it for MA15+ space Expect a rollercoaster of ups, downs, and u-turns We are learning how to listen to respond (LOL) We descend into chaos... in under a minute If you are a linear thinker, try to enjoy the ride Permission to listen in fast and furious mode Need a podcast while walking, doing the dishes, or driving? This is it. Get lost in the absolute chaos of that disney swedish chef attacked by spaghetti, signs you're probably concussed, and all the mystery tummy wummy problems. We would love to hear about your Cooked Chook Moments this week and whatever Most Important Thing (MIT) you're planning to do before next week's episode. Ok fiiiine, it's homework. Sometimes we need a bit of homework because... adulthood. We'll catchya chaos queens next week!!

Where have I been? Writing. This episode is an accurate reflection of my busy brain. Listen as I uncover what's been stopping me from showing up to record the podcast. Those cheeky BIG, BORING, IMPORTANT, VAGUE barriers. Lemme know if you liked this rambly-style episode, as I coached myself and reflected on how to navigate a completely valid ADHD-related challenge with compassion! My ADHD self-coaching tools: externalising thoughts via a journal, verbalising the challenge, breaking down the goal, lowering the bar to entry with a shorter episode, being specific by creating parameters around how to do the task, choosing 1% of action over inaction, and staying curious to find an entry point.
