What If It Was ADHD All Along?

You're Wrong About ADHD

What happens when you realise the struggles you’ve carried for decades weren’t personal failures, but missed signs of ADHD?

This week, Sam and Katie are joined by journalist and author Grace Timothy, who was diagnosed with ADHD in her thirties after years of anxiety, burnout and never quite feeling “on top of things”. Together, they unpack the five things Grace wishes she’d known earlier- from why she kept quitting jobs, to how rejection sensitivity shaped her relationships.

Grace shares her emotional journey to diagnosis, the grief and clarity that followed, and what it’s like navigating motherhood, career and self-acceptance without medication. They reflect on how shame shows up in daily life, and what it really means to forgive yourself for being “bad at admin”.

This is a raw, thoughtful and relatable conversation about reframing the past, reclaiming the present and reimagining a future with ADHD understanding at its core.
