Ep. 15. Hello 2023! Talking parenting and kids with Sharna

This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening.

This podcast is all about our experience with Callie's late ADHD diagnosis and the questions we have as we continue to navigate life. This podcast is in no way medical advice or intended to be used as a diagnostic tool.

Welcome to the first episode of 2023! We are talking with listener and friend, Sharna, about parenting and family dynamics when there are multiple people with ADHD in a household. Additionally, we talk about ongoing mental health struggles after a late diagnosis and how it isn't a silver bullet that will fix everything.

It's great to hear other experiences with ADHD, and we'd love to hear yours if you want to join us on the mics - drop us a DM or an email.

Topics covered:

• Kids with ADHD and medication - how do you decide to pursue a diagnosis for them? Are meds a good idea?
• When anxiety and depression are actually undiagnosed ADHD
• Post-diagnosis problems
• Mum's groups when you have a newborn - they can be the best or absolute worst!
• Kids mimic our worst habits - so embarassing!
• Brisbane - humidity and spiders...don't live there (jks, don't come for us)
• Summernats, aka bogan car festival - Sharna loves it, Callie does not
• Listener questions - ADHD tax, dating, who is funnier?

Sidequests:

• Octopus chat - now seals are getting in on the unnecessary violence
• Getting old
• Body parts that give us the ICK
• Callie is obsessed with a South Korean drama on Netflix
• Aitch vs Haitch
• Vanilla is not an appropriate scent for candles
