Hi, we're James and Jules Galloway.
We've been married for over 20 years, and in 2022, we were both diagnosed with ADHD (combined type).
After a year full of discovery, learning and insights, we wanted to create a place to connect with other late diagnosed ADHDers.
Together we will chat about the highs, the lows, the frustrations, the hilarious moments, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with finding out you're neurodivergent.
This is a podcast of real talk and lived experiences. Whether you are young, old, young at heart, or somewhere in between, you're all welcome here.
Together we are LD ADHD.
Episode 27: Why Does It Feel Like Everyone is Getting Diagnosed with ADHD Right Now?
Have you noticed a spike in people around us joining the ADHD and Autism gang? Let's chat about why that’s happening. It turns out, we’re playing a bit of a catch-up game with these diagnoses and until recently, there were hardly any studies on women and people assigned female at birth (seriously, what took them so long?).
We’ll also chat about how it feels when people hit you with the “oh, but everyone’s got ADHD” comment – spoiler alert: it can feel pretty insulting. Plus, some cool celebs who are helping to ditch the stigma (shoutout to Em Rusciano and her awesome National Press Club address that you can check out here!)

Episode 26: Where Does Our Motivation Go??
Ever feel like you’re a sitting duck when it comes to getting stuff done? You’re not alone. As ADHDers, a lack of dopamine and norepinephrine can fry our motivation and energy, making everyday tasks feel like we’re pushing boulders uphill.
This week, we chat about how troubles with reward processing can leave us stuck in the passive action trap, procrastinating and feeling ashamed for not getting things done. But don’t worry, we also share some tips and ideas from body doubling to not sitting down, to help you beat the avoidance and get moving!
We also chat about a cool Thriveworks article - you can check it out here:

Episode 25: Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria: Fighting the Negative Self Talk
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is something that a lot of ADHDers experience and usually manifests as a really strong emotional or even physical reaction to the idea of rejection or failure - cue the procrastination!
We talk about how RSD pops up in daily life and James shares his own experiences from the emotional reactions to those avoidance spirals and the negative self-talk.
Hang around until the end for our ‘AD Moment of the Week’.
