In this episode of ADH3, we take a deep dive into Ben’s story—his childhood, the unique challenges he faced, and the winding path that led him to question whether ADHD was really the answer to what he was experiencing. From growing up somewhat isolated, yet content in his own world, to navigating life by ‘masking’ his struggles without even realizing it, Ben opens up about his journey of self-discovery.

Unlike many who feel out of place as kids, Ben didn’t necessarily see his differences as a bad thing. He wasn’t the most social, but he never minded having a small circle—or sometimes, no circle at all. It wasn’t until adulthood that he started questioning why certain things felt harder for him than they seemed to be for others. When he finally took a trip to the doctor, the diagnosis he received didn’t quite sit right, leading him down a road of exploration, self-reflection, and a search for the real reason behind the way he felt.

Throughout the episode, Rachel and Rob jump in with questions, insights, and, of course, plenty of laughs. If you’ve ever questioned your own diagnosis—or felt like there’s more to your story than what’s on paper—this episode is for you. Tune in for an honest, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about identity, self-acceptance, and the complexities of figuring out what truly makes you you.

Episode 2: Meet the hosts- Rachel

Rachel’s ADHD Journey

In this episode of ADH3, we take a deep dive into Rachel’s story—her childhood, the challenges she faced growing up, and the winding path that ultimately led to her ADHD diagnosis as an adult. From school struggles and misunderstood behaviors to lightbulb moments that finally made everything click, Rachel opens up about what it was like navigating life before she knew she had ADHD.

She shares the highs, the lows, and the moments that made her realize she wasn’t just "forgetful" or "scattered"—she was neurodivergent. Along the way, Ben and Rob jump in with questions, insights, and, of course, plenty of laughs.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to grow up with undiagnosed ADHD—or if Rachel’s experiences sound a little too familiar—this episode is for you. Tune in for an honest, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about self-discovery, acceptance, and what happens when you finally get the answers you’ve been looking for.

Episode 1: Introduction

Welcome to the very first episode of ADH3!

In this warm and chaotic introduction, you’ll meet your hosts: married couple Ben and Rachel Russell, who are navigating life after being recently diagnosed with ADHD, while raising two kids in a whirlwind of love, laughter, and (sometimes) laundry. Joining them is their good friend Rob Sillito, a psychiatric nurse with loads of curiosity and humor, but little prior knowledge of ADHD. Together, they set the stage for the unique mix of humor, heart, and insight that defines the podcast.

In this episode, Ben, Rachel, and Rob share their personal stories, from how ADHD impacts their daily lives to why they decided to start this podcast. They give a sneak peek into the kinds of topics they’ll cover, from parenting and marriage to mental health and coping strategies, all while keeping things lighthearted and real.

As a bonus, Ben surprises everyone with a hilarious and offbeat game that throws the group into fits of laughter—something that just might become a standing feature of ADH3.

Get ready for laughs, raw honesty, and the first taste of a podcast that’s as unpredictable and vibrant as life with ADHD. This is just the beginning!
