Old fave, new intro! We talked to podcast host Lisa Paasche about her experience of going through peri-menopause, which led her to a late diagnosis of ADHD. She shares why perimenopause can be a particularly challenging time for people with ADHD, the relief that came with her diagnosis, and everything that she has learned along the way.

Lisa is the host of a new podcast called 'Am I crazy or…', which focuses on the spicy combo of perimenopause and ADHD, talking to experts about these two complex subject areas.

To find out more about the 'Am I crazy or...' podcast (launching early 2025), head to the podcast's instagram page.

The charity where Lisa went for her ADHD diagnosis is SEIK Psychiatry.

Gwen & Kate take a gloriously ADHD‑shaped wander through everything from trust issues (Kate has many, including people who don’t drink tea) to why living by the sea keeps us sane. Gwen dives into what she’s learning about ADHD in relationships, how it can look like narcissism from the outside, and how to actually navigate it. We also cover driving in cities, the TV we’re obsessed with (Paradise! Widow’s Bay!), and whether comedy‑horror might be the genre we all need right now. A proper wiffle‑waffle of an episode – in the best way.

It's an old fav, new intro! Anna Anderson, author of the best-selling book From the Inside Out, joined us to talk about what it means to truly nourish our minds and bodies and break free from the outdated rules of diet culture. We look at why we comfort eat, and how pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone and working consistently towards loving ourselves is the best long-term approach to a healthy weight.

Anna is a health and female empowerment coach and believes that every single woman deserves to live unapologetically with confidence, freedom and joy. Sign us up!

She also set Gwen and Kate the challenge to say the Hawaiian Ho’oponopono prayer to themselves every time they're being unkind to themselves. The words to the prayer are: "I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you”.
