Description

Raising hell and ADHD awareness in every country in the world! Late discovered ADHDer turned ADHD Activist Laura Mears-Reynolds isn't just a 'hun' in leopard print, she's a rebel with a cause. These crucial conversations educate, validate, shame eradicate and aim to be part of the push for systemic change. The ADHDAF+ Charity Founder, ADHDAF Emporium Co-Director and Leopard Print Army Leader wants you to know that you are not alone or 'too much', that RSD is just 'Really Sh*t Daydreams' and ADHD IS NOT A TREND.

ADHD Tax, 'Myths' and LEGENDS with Sara Jane Maxwell
2026/08/30
ADHD Tax refers to the financial, mental, and physical costs incurred as a result of living with ADHD. Driven by Executive Function Gaps; ADHD traits like poor working memory, impulsivity, difficulty prioritising, and valuing immediate rewards over delayed ones; create a gap between how your brain works and how societal financial systems expect it to work. Helping me tackle this taxing topic is the wonderful Wealth Coach Sara Jane Maxwell (who I'm lucky enough to be in Lu in Lu Land's Self Love Unleashed Crew with!) Sara help clients claim their financial power and move forward with confidence. I'm so grateful to Sara for sharing her pearls of wisdom in this chinwag and for joining me at our first Live Event as a Charity: ADHD Easy Target on Sunday 6th September at The National Trust's Nostell in Wakefield.

Neurodivergent Dead Mums Club with Forever Yours Betty/ Sheri Scott
2026/03/15
Forever Yours Betty returns to ADHDAF in far less happier circumstances but at least we are in this club together. Today is Mothers Day in the UK, which can be incredibly challenging for many reasons. Sheri/Betty and I lost our Mum's two months apart last year and decided to share our experiences to help others (who we wish weren't) in this terrible club know that they're not alone. Our intention for sharing this crucial conversation is also to help raise awareness about how ADHD and AuDHD can impact grief and vice versa, how Mother loss can impact our identity, the light that has helped us through the darkest of times, and to demonstrate the power of Peer Support. We are all in this together! This episode is dedicated to Sheri's Mum Mags, my Mum Jennifer, to all Mothers, to all who find today challenging, and to all of us in the Neurodivergent Dead Mums Club.
