The last door is a vital tip for Christmas day, and it involves perhaps the best part of Christmas... eating!

It's time to open door eleven... it's the tip that attempts to stop the urge to buy buy buy! Yes, put that tat down...

It's time for another door, and another tip as we inch closer and closer to Christmas Day. Behind this door is the essential tip to safeguard the time you need on the big day.

Behind today's door is the ULTIMATE way to be kind to your future self during this busy time of year!

Today we're opening door eight... and everyone's getting toffee!!

Wondering what's behind this door? Get ready to bah-humbug because Katie's about to strike you off her Christmas list...

It's time for door six, and it's the most joyful gift of all... it's the gift of saying NO!

Behind this door Katie shares her ultimate plan to save ADHD brains and beyond on Christmas day!

This door gives you permission to STOP fixing the Christmas lights and show those tatty and broken Christmas decorations some mercy...

Today's door takes on the overwhelming task of decorating for Christmas with something our listener likes to call 'festive micro-zones'...

It's door number two and we're not putting it off any longer... we're having THAT conversation early.

It's door number one and we're kicking off with a doozy... it's the one note that SAVES Christmas.

Katie reflects on the expectations she absorbed from school reports and family conversations, while Sam talks about the moments he realised his own inner voice had copied the shoulds he heard from others. Together they look at how quickly those old phrases slip into self blame, what it takes to respond with curiosity instead of spiralling, and how returning to the simple question ‘what does my brain need’ can soften the whole experience.

It is an open and encouraging look at how language builds either understanding or overwhelm, and how small adjustments in the words we offer ourselves can make daily life with ADHD feel more spacious and more possible.

You’re Wrong About ADHD is made in association with APX Content Ventures.

This week on You’re Wrong About ADHD, Katie and Sam are joined by Met Police Detective Daley Jones, who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and has become one of the UK’s leading voices on neurodiversity in policing. Together, they explore the powerful link between ADHD and the criminal justice system, and why it often starts with missed diagnoses at school.

Daley reveals how impulsivity, emotional dysregulation and people-pleasing can put undiagnosed ADHDers at risk of getting into trouble, and how a lack of understanding can make things worse at every stage- from arrest to court and prison. He also shares what it’s like to be a police officer with ADHD, the bias baked into the system, and the small changes that could make a big difference.

If you’ve ever wondered how society could better support neurodivergent people- or what real reform looks like- this episode is a must-listen.

You’re Wrong About ADHD is made in association with APX Content Ventures.

This week, Katie and Sam are joined by psychologist, ADHD coach and author Dr. Janina Maschke to unpack why ADHD is so often missed in women, and what happens when the systems meant to support us are still built on male-centric research. From misunderstood symptoms and relentless masking, to the emotional toll of late diagnosis, Janina shares why so many women are still being overlooked, and what we can do about it.

Together, they explore how ADHD presents differently in women, why societal pressure makes it harder to ask for help, and how we can start building better, more inclusive support systems.

Plus, Janina offers practical, ADHD-friendly strategies from her book A Feminist’s Guide to ADHD- from mindset shifts to movement, prioritisation and self-kindness.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are still figuring it out, or love someone who’s navigating this, this episode will make you feel seen and remind you that it’s never too late to understand your brain.

This week, Katie and Sam are joined by psychotherapist Clare Patterson to unpack what therapy can offer people with ADHD- from tackling emotional overwhelm and low self-esteem to finding the right therapeutic fit. Together, they explore how therapy can unpick years of internalised shame, why finding the right approach (and therapist) matters, and how certain types of therapy are more ADHD-friendly than others.

Sensory overwhelm happens when your brain struggles to filter out all the sights, sounds, and feelings coming at it at once, leaving you feeling overstimulated and on edge. It’s not just “being sensitive”—it’s how your nervous system reacts to the world around you.

This week on the season finale of You're Wrong About ADHD, Sam and Katie look at sensory overload with Dr Khurram Sadiq, a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD and Autism. Together, they explore what sensory overload actually is, why your brain sometimes just can't handle everything and share advice for managing it.

Dr Sadiq is currently writing Explaining AuDHD, an accessible guide for understanding autism and ADHD as a combined diagnosis. The book is set to be released in April 2025.
