85 | The Costs of ADHD & Hidden Disabilities with Maddy Alexander Grout
2026/10/22
In this episode, Maddy shares how she manages a spending addiction, budgets for the things that bring her joy, and has learned to see accessibility as an investment rather than a limitation. She talks about the hidden costs of disability, the resilience built through debt, trauma, grief, burnout, and bad experiences, and why staying visible doesn’t always mean being on camera. She also reflects on discovering she was neurodivergent later in life, writing Mad About Money, and the relief of realising she wasn’t broken after all.
TRIGGER WARNING: this episode has a brief mention of rape; please listen with care if this topic affects you.

83 | What really happens in a sound bath with Ben Miller AKA Zen with Ben
2026/10/08
What happens when sound bathing meets music theory, acoustics and a healthy dose of myth-busting?
In this episode, Ben Miller explains why sound baths work best when practitioners understand harmony, rhythm, texture and how sound behaves in a room. He shares how a gong’s inharmonic tones can feel anxiety-inducing when they lack a pattern or “home base”, and why pairing instruments thoughtfully can create a more calming experience.
The conversation also explores why intention alone isn’t enough, the nervous system’s response to sustained tones, the need for stronger research, and his belief that the real magic lies in the relationship between notes, rhythm and texture.
From burnout and meditation to evidence, creativity and learning to be yourself, this is a thoughtful look at how sound baths can support relaxation and nervous-system regulation, while challenging the mystical claims and lack of evidence sometimes attached to them that can sometimes make them feel inaccessible.
A must listen episode for anyone who delivers, goes to or is considering going to a sound bath or gong bath.

New Season Intro
2026/09/22
I’ve been beavering away behind the scenes to bring Things I Wish I’d Known back!
Since 2021, Long COVID has made it impossible to keep up with my usual schedule… and honestly, I was gutted. But I’m finally ready to say:
I’M BACK, BITCHES!
I didn’t plan a theme for this season because, frankly, I’m not that organised. I simply love giving people the chance to share their stories. But when I listened back, a theme appeared anyway…
Everyone had a plan for how life was meant to go, and then life did what life does and lobbed a massive spanner into the works.
This season, you’ll hear from:
Michelle Obende, who was told she was being made redundant on a Zoom call while on maternity leave, with her baby in her arms.
Jo Hooper, who had two breakdowns before turning 31 because she believed success meant working relentlessly.
Maddy Alexander-Grout, a neurodivergent and disability advocate who went from £60,000 of debt, no job and no business, to helping ND business owners put themselves out there.
Lanre Atijosan, who left corporate life to build something she genuinely wanted. She also runs 100 metres in 12.02 seconds, which is unbelievably impressive. She challenges the whole “rest as resistance” conversation in a way I wasn’t expecting.
Victoria Barber, who discovered she carries the BRCA1 gene, went through surgical menopause without a proper aftercare plan and faced redundancy at the same time.
And Ben Miller, who became a sound practitioner following his partner’s illness. We talk about the actual craft behind gongs and singing bowls, decibel meters, and why poor technique so often gets blamed on “energy”.
These are honest conversations about rebuilding, changing direction and working out who the hell you are when your old life plan no longer fits.
Listen to this short season introduction for a taste of what’s coming… and make sure you follow the podcast so you don’t miss the first episode as I have finally got access to my @thingsiwishidknownpod accounts again! Yay!
I have missed you all and I am so glad to be back.

2025/11/05
This episode explores how women can break free from burnout, toxic productivity, and traditional expectations around success.

ABOUT TAMU:
Tamu Thomas’s journey is shaped by her honest reflections on work, life, and self-defined success. There were times when she worked too much, pushing herself beyond healthy limits. From these experiences, Tamu learned that life isn’t always about achieving perfect balance but rather finding harmony—accepting that, at times, work may take precedence and, at other times, rest or personal life might take the lead. Now, at 47, Tamu is passionate about helping others redefine success on their own terms, understanding that what fulfills us changes with each stage of life. Through her story, she encourages others to get clear about what success truly means to them in each season of their journey.
