James Haskell on his ADHD diagnosis and how therapy saved him
About this episode
James Haskell discusses his ADHD diagnosis, the impact of therapy on his life and career, and shares insights on co-parenting.
This week on No Parental Guidance, we are joined by rugby legend, 77-cap England powerhouse, and DJ, James Haskell! 🏉🎶 James sits down with us for an incredibly open, honest, and hilariously high-tension chat. From his awkward first encounter with ex-wife Chloe's dad, to his time on Celebs Go Dating, James doesn't hold anything back. 🤫😂 He opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD at nine years old, how therapy completely changed his life and rugby career, and why he views his neurodivergence as a superpower. 🧠⚡ He also shares a beautifully mature look at his relationship with Chloe, how they navigate a "classy" 50/50 split co-parenting their daughter Bodie, and what it’s really like when a giant rugby player is left in charge of a toddler's first swimming lesson. 🏊♂️👧 Plus, we swap our own parenting fails of the week—including one toddler's sweet toothed sugar heist and an emergency 1980s wig/Hulk hand bedtime situation. 🤦♀️🤣 Hit that SUBSCRIBE button so you never miss an episode! 🚨👇 🍏 Partnered with Tesco: Thank a Teacher! 🍏 We are so proud to partner with Tesco for this episode to support the incredible National Thank a Teacher Day initiative! Teachers, coaches…
