Welcome to Actually Trying. Same podcast, new name, new format.

This week: have a lot of women got undiagnosed ADHD, or are we all just weird? I'm seeing a psychiatrist in two days. Old Ma thinks we should go back to the five original lunacies. She held that position for about ten minutes, until she found out there might be some legal speed in it for her.

We cover:

• Why ADHD in girls gets missed entirely
• Object permanence and forgetting your friends exist
• Whether it's real or just Big Pharma cataloguing sweaty palms
• Getting diagnosed as an adult: private assessment, five-year NHS waits, and what £200 online actually buys you

Ask Guru & Granny: a secondary school teacher of 22 years wants to jack it in and become a florist. Is 48 too old to start again? We get into midlife career changes, side hustles, and why women over 50 are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs globally.

Next time: I report back on whether I actually got diagnosed.
