  • Navigating the Workplace, School Shame, and Neurodivergent Burnout with Ellie Kay

    Navigating the Workplace, School Shame, and Neurodivergent Burnout with Ellie Kay
    2026/11/11
    In this episode I’m joined by Ellie Kay who shares her own journey with ADHD and dyslexia. Ellie is a workplace mediator, coach for neurodivergent individuals and career changers, to talk about the exhausting, often invisible barriers we face when trying to navigate a world that wasn't built for our brains. We cover a lot, including why traditional management styles so often fail neurodivergent employees, how old school shames and strict rules leave lifelong marks, and why forcing yourself to fit into a broken corporate mould leads straight to burnout. If you're wondering how to get past the point of just surviving, figure out what workplace accommodations you actually need and how to get them, or know when it’s time to walk away from a job that is draining your spirit, this episode will help. EPISODE REVEALS When your brain processes tasks differently you face additional hurdles. You know they are there, but the chances are your manager has no idea they exist. Many managers are promoted without any additional support or training. So, they don´t have the softer communication skills needed to properly support neurodivergent staff. ADHD operates much more like an "interest-based operating system" than a true deficit, where engagement, passion, and environment dictate your ability to function and succeed. If you dread going to work every Sunday and a manager repeatedly refuses to offer basic understanding or flexibility, it’s a clear sign that you need to reassess your path. BEST MOMENTS "You only get one life, so make sure you're with the right person and make sure you're in the right job." "If your workplace isn't suiting you well in terms of your needs and requirement, your happiness, then it's time to reassess and think about moving on." "Quite a lot of neurodivergent people need a break in between tasks to get their head out of one task before starting another one."

  • From Overwhelm to Calm: ADHD Anxiety and Overwhelm Firefighting and Effective Long Term Help with Naomi Pegden

    From Overwhelm to Calm: ADHD Anxiety and Overwhelm Firefighting and Effective Long Term Help with Naomi Pegden
    2026/11/04
    Discover my website, Books, YouTube channel, and more: https://helpanxiety.org/podcast In this episode I'm joined by Naomi Pegden, a craniosacral therapist, clinical massage practitioner and silent counselling practitioner, to talk about anxiety, overwhelm and the nervous system for neurodiverse people. Naomi shares her own experience of a brain that goes blank under pressure, a mistake-filled week that sent her spiralling, and the simple things that help her and her clients come back to the present. We also try some of it out together. Naomi guides us through a breathing exercise with a longer out-breath and an eye exercise to stimulate the vagus nerve, so you can try them yourself wherever you're listening. If you feel like your brain has too many tabs open, or you're hard on yourself when things go wrong, this one is for you. EPISODE REVEALS When pressure hits, the brain can go blank and take a lot of coaxing to come back online. Our bodies stay in fight or flight because the tiger has been replaced by an email or a boss wanting a chat, and that never-ending stress feeds brain fog and memory problems. Evidence of a link between ADHD and hypermobility is emerging. Craniosacral therapy and silent counselling are very gentle ways to help the body let go of what it's holding on to, which helps lots of neurodiverse people. The five senses grounding exercise, box breathing and a longer out-breath all help to tell your brain that you're safe again, so you can break the cycle. Two mistakes in a day does not mean you're not coping. Everyone makes mistakes. Rephrase things in your mind, e.g. I made 2 mistakes, so what, nobody died or got injured, it is not a disaster. BEST MOMENTS "Acting normal, you're hiding what you are, so you're constantly wearing a mask, and that mask will slip, and it gets tiring, and that's that leads to burnout.” "The inner voice is horrendous. The best thing you can do is actually name it. Give it a stupid name." "Silent counselling just puts a little hole in the bottom of the bucket." "Just take a step back and breathe."

  • From Alarm to Action: The Four Rooms, Neurodivergence and Finding Your Momentum with Andy Baker

    From Alarm to Action: The Four Rooms, Neurodivergence and Finding Your Momentum with Andy Baker
    2026/10/28
    In this episode I’m joined by returning guest Andy Baker and Eva to talk about entrepreneurship and finding a way of working and navigating the world that truly works for you. Andy shares his four-rooms model, that helps neurodivergent people to better understand how they, as an individual, respond to pressure, generate ideas, and taking action. Using Andy's model will help you to determine what mental state you are in at any particular moment so that you can adjust things to better navigate that task or situation. Enabling you to stop yourself from becoming stuck in overwhelm, able to take full advantage of your creative and productive periods and get into those states more often. EPISODE REVEALS Self-employment can provide autonomy and boost creativity, but it also involves boundaries and accountability. For many people with ADHD, worry or pressure pushes them to enter alarm mode. A state where everything feels urgent which leads to rushing and making mistakes. When they feel threatened many neurodiverse people withdraw. Entering the “cave room” in their mind, a state that can be difficult to emerge from. The "studio room" state is for ideas and planning; the "workshop room" state enables you to take action. Andy explains how to enter these productive "rooms" more often. Ask what your future self needs and try to respond with empathy rather than criticism. BEST MOMENTS "Everything's urgent. Everything's needs doing now - 1000 tabs open at the same time, multitasking all over the place, and generally struggling to be productive because you're too busy being busy." “It's not about beating you up. It's just about recognising where you are and which direction or what small step could I take to move me in the right direction” ABOUT THE GUEST https://www.andybaker.xyz/ https://www.able-training.co.uk/podcast/ https://www.able-training.co.uk/ Books – Targeting the positive - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Targeting-Positive-Behaviours-that-Challenge/dp/1839979003 The Momentum Room - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Momentum-Room-pressure-self-sabotage-high-performance/dp/1918283125 Previous episode with Andy Baker - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/beyond-labels-person-centred-support-for-every-child/id1810681675?i=1000729414484 RESOURCES Famisafe Parental control App Link: https://wondersharesoftware.pxf.io/ParentingAUDHD What to Do When Your Child Shuts Down: Real-World Parenting Strategies for Neurodivergent Kids Who Shut Down, Refuse School, or Just Stop communicating with you: https://amzn.eu/d/0fBIfbhR CLIFF´S SERVICES Are you struggling with anxiety and want support from someone who has been there and come out the other side? - Message Cliff here and take advantage of his founding members offer: https://m.me/cliff.kilmister CONTACT ME Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cliff_kilmister08 X (Twitter): https://x.com/KilmisterCliff Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/cliff.kilmister YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ParentingAutismandADHD HOST BIO Cliff Kilmister is a dedicated parent, advocate, and cat whisperer with firsthand experience raising a child with autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
