366. I moved to London

Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult can feel like both a relief and a reckoning. Suddenly your past makes so much more sense… but now you’re faced with learning a whole new way of managing your brain, your time, your relationships and your self-worth.
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Wang, founder and CEO of Shimmer, who was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. Together we unpack what ADHD really looks like in your twenties, including:
 
 • The three ADHD subtypes and why women are so often missed
 • How late diagnosis can completely rewrite your identity (in a good way)
 • Why traditional productivity advice often fails ADHD brains 
 • The role of urgency, novelty and accountability
 • What actually is rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)?
 • What ADHD–ADHD relationships can look like vs ADHD–neurotypical dynamics?
 
If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I just suck at being an adult, or is my brain wired differently?”, this episode is for you.

365. The BEST advice for managing ADHD in your 20s ft. Chris Wang

Something we may not know is that relationships typically follow a fairly similar life cycle. Author and relationship expert, Thais Gibson has articulated this idea in her new theory on the 6 stages of relationships, and how to know which you're in and when to break away. We discuss:
 
 • How long should you date before you ask for a label?
 • Why the honeymoon phase can’t last (and why that’s a good thing)
 • Why does every couple need to have that one “big” fight?
 • Why do so many couples break up at the 2-3 year mark?
 • When do you know someone is right for you for the long haul?
 • What the longest married couples know that we don’t....

360. How to be ambitious (without burning out) ft. Amina AlTai

We can be so fixed on a job, a person, an outcome that we fuse our identity to it – and, crucially, forget that we’re okay without it. In today’s bonus episode, we unpack detachment: why we cling so tightly to people and outcomes, what over-attachment does to our mind and mood, and how to loosen the grip in a way that feels calm, kind, and clear.
We explore:
 
• Why we become attached to certain people or outcomes
• The impact of becoming overly attached on our behaviours, thoughts and emotions
• The Buddhist concept of ‘non-attachment’
• How detaching from the outcome can keep us grounded
• The value of the Stoic mindset

359. How to TRULY detach

There is a huge emphasis on treating romance as the main marker of a successful life – from questions from family, to seemingly perfect online couples – it’s hard to believe anything else when society celebrates this kind of ideal.

We explore:
 
• The social script of our 20s
• The role of milestone anxiety and FOMO
• How this can lead to us neglecting other areas of our lives, including our goals
• Emotional bypassing and avoiding the deeper work
• What a healthy approach to love looks like
• 5 tips to decentre romantic love
 
If you’ve ever felt like your life is on pause until your relationship status changes, this episode is for you.

358. Why you should decentre romance in your 20s

We’ve all been there - telling ourselves that ‘life is short’ as we click add to cart. Whether it’s an expensive dinner, a holiday you can’t quite afford, or another ‘little treat’, doom spending has become the defining financial habit of our generation.
 
In this episode, we unpack why we spend when the world feels uncertain - the psychology, the emotion, and the cultural forces behind it. From dopamine and control to social media, fatalism, and escapism, we’ll explore how uncertainty reshapes our relationship with money and why buying things can feel like the only way to feel better.
 
We explore:
 
• Why spending can feel emotionally soothing and self-regulating
• How financial stress, uncertainty, and global instability fuel impulsive habits
• The rise of ‘little treat culture’ and the illusion of control
• The role of social media in pairing crisis with consumption
• Signs that your coping mechanism has turned into doom spending
• How to break the cycle - from doom saving to mindful spending
 
If you’ve ever felt the urge to spend when everything feels out of control, this episode is for you.
