Shiny Objects and Superpowers: How a Late ADHD Diagnosis Brought New Clarity with Lauren Talulah

What if the things you’ve always criticised yourself for weren’t "personality flaws" at all, but ADHD in disguise?

This week I’m joined by the brilliant Lauren Talulah, a creator, writer and poet whose late ADHD diagnosis at 31 reframed a lifetime of inconsistency, fidgeting, and endless new ideas. From thriving in freelance chaos, to rejection sensitivity, Lauren opens up about how ADHD has shaped her career, creativity, and dating life.

We talk about the double-edged sword of hyperfocus, the fear of commitment (even to getting a cat), and why anxious–avoidant dating dynamics are basically millennial kryptonite. Along the way, we dive into the power of protein, feeling limerence, and how learning to work with your brain can transform what once felt impossible.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your quirks are flaws or just part of who you are, this one’s for you.
