🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here 🌟

Do you notice yourself falling into patterns of people pleasing, masking, putting our partner’s needs first when it comes to sexual desires, sensory needs, intimacy, and relationships?

In this episode, I sit down with AuDHD authors and advocates Bontle Senne and Sara-Louise Ackrill for a validating, honest, and deeply important discussion about what it means to connect with others when you’re still learning to connect with yourself.

Whether you're exploring sex and relationships post-diagnosis or simply trying to better understand yourself, this episode is a reminder that you're allowed to have preferences, want to explore, and believe that your needs and desires are every bit as valid as anyone else’s.

What You'll Learn:

  • How masking, people pleasing, and putting your needs last can quietly erode intimacy.
  • Why it’s valid and vital to talk about what feels good, what doesn’t, and what you need when it comes to sex.
  • The impact of sensory sensitivity on sex, and how to advocate for your body and boundaries.
  • What psychological safety in a relationship really means for neurodivergent people.
  • When it's time to walk away from a relationship that doesn't understand or honour your neurodivergence.
  • The incredible traits of empathy, excitement, passion, amongst others, that we bring to relationships and why that deserves to be recognised and celebrated
  • How self-discovery, including late diagnosis and life transitions like menopause, can shape your romantic life
  • Tools for building mutual understanding, honest communication, and a relationship that helps both people grow.
