#22 - ADHD: Beauty In The Chaos w/ Selina Thomson

Buckle up, folks—because in this borderline chaotic episode, David, Matthew and Selina Thomson, 3 people who all have ADHD (and can’t stay on topic to save their lives), attempt to wrangle the beast that is neurodivergence. This episode is an ADHD rollercoaster that covers everything from the highs and lows of personal experiences to the ridiculous societal expectations that we all love to ignore. Selina, a lawyer, Mum and host of her own podcast ‘Divergent AF’ who’s basically juggling life with one hand and her ADHD brain with the other, opens up about the chaos and comedy of navigating the world when your brain just doesn’t do “normal.” The boys, in the spirit of ADHD camaraderie, keep the conversation hilariously off-track while somehow managing to dig deep into the stigma, shame, and occasional moments of accidental brilliance that come with ADHD. Ever wonder what happens when three neurodivergent minds collide? Expect tangents, lots of laughs, and some genuine “ah-ha!” moments as they dismantle everything from gender expectations to why trying to look like you’ve got it together is overrated. They talk about how society’s idea of “normal” often feels like an unfunny joke to ADHDers, and how peeling off that mask of perfectionism can be both terrifying and downright liberating. Oh, and if you like detours, you’re in the right place. This conversation swerves into the pitfalls of traditional education, the beauty of minds that think sideways, and why imagination and creativity are the real superpowers. There’s a lot of talk about self-acceptance, finding your tribe of fellow oddballs and embracing the wonderful mess that is an ADHD life. So if you’re here for a polished, linear conversation… you might want to skip this one. But if you’re in the mood for a lively, laugh-out-loud, ADHD-friendly dive into the beauty of being unapologetically yourself, stick around. The chaos is real, and that’s exactly what makes it awesome!
