Our listener contacted us following a diagnosis of ADHD as an adult, slightly overwhelmed and not knowing what to do with their new diagnosis.

We knew that the lovely Kirk Ward was just the friend to help us navigate this conversation and we are so grateful for the insights he shared. We talk about nature helping us to feel grounded, how our working patterns and environment can play a big part in helping us to get the best out of ourselves and working out what works for you.

Kirk is the Founder and CEO of Clearview, a strategic communications consultancy, but he's also been a teacher, physiotherapist, journalist, author and professional communicator. He spent 12 years working in senior roles in the NHS and was diagnosed with ADHD at the ripe old age of 38.

Thank you to Kirk for sharing his advice and his own experiences of neurodiversity and receiving a diagnosis of ADHD as an adult.

Can you believe it’s the last episode of our mini-series Advice from Friends? This week we are bringing you our conversation with the fabulous Mychael Owen, associate brand director, blogger and founder of Always Wear Red.

In this episode we talk about style - how it changes, how to find yours and what the clothes we choose really say about us. We talk about dressing for our mood, our ambitions and for ourselves. There’s plenty in here about letting go of the fear of judgement and how your clothes can help your confidence.
