    May 22 2026
    ADHD IS NO JOKE. It's a serious neurodevelopmental condition... so serious in fact, that we need some comic relief! My husband Big and I hope you enjoy this EXTRA RIDICULOUS episode. The infamous and often imitated question I've been asking all guests for four years - turns tragedy into comedy; laughing at the things that would usually make us cry. Eradicating shame, whilst uniting the ADHD adult community and raising crucial ADHD awareness. We are all in this together!Trigger Warning: contains swearing, gallows humour(!) sexual references, LOUD laughter and mentions of grief and bereavement, alchohol, accidental injury, menty b's, the odd squeal, general too-muchness.
