ADHD - Is It A Real Thing? | S2 E3 ADHD - everyone seems to be talking about it, but are we really understanding it? In this episode, Lisa shares a frustrating experience with suppliers who failed to deliver on their promises, citing ADHD as the reason. It sparked a bigger conversation: Is ADHD being overdiagnosed? Are people using it as an excuse for poor performance, or is modern life making symptoms worse? To help unpack these questions, we're joined by ADHD expert Kim Raine. She shares her insights on how the condition affects adults, why awareness has skyrocketed, and the fine line between validation and excuse-making. We also discuss: The explosion of ADHD diagnoses - awareness vs. actual prevalence Whether ADHD is a superpower or a struggle (or both!) The impact of modern life on ADHD symptoms Why so many adults are only now being diagnosed How women with ADHD face unique challenges, especially during menopause The booming ADHD industry - who's benefiting from the rise in self-diagnosis? With an NHS backlog of eight years for ADHD assessments and growing demand for solutions, we explore what actually helps, beyond just medication.

Lisa also weighs in with her thoughts on how AI could one day help us survive life-threatening conditions and what the future of medicine might look like.

Passive income - sounds like a dream, right? But is it really as effortless as people make it seem?  In this episode, we're breaking down the truth about passive income, what it actually looks like, and why most people misunderstand how it works. We also tackle the biggest mindset blocks that stop people from getting started - like thinking they're not an expert or that the market is already too crowded. Spoiler: If people are making money doing Joe Wicks-style bootcamps in the park, then there's room for your idea too! Whether it's cutting flowers, navigating Disneyland with toddlers, or even handling a divorce amicably, almost anything can be turned into a course or passive income stream. We'll share the key to what it really takes to start a business based on passive income (side note: it's more semi-passive than being absolutely passive, before you think you'll be on holiday, sipping cocktails, doing absolutely no work thinking you'll still make money!)

Sam's all about finding the silver linings - there's good stuff and bad stuff, but it's not all doom and gloom. Lisa, on the other hand? Let's just say she's firmly in the "it's all downhill from here" camp, and Sam is more than happy to challenge her on that! But as the conversation unfolds, they touch on some surprising topics, from the right to be grumpy and whinge, to the prospect of the menopause, and to their evolving views on plastic surgery (spoiler: Lisa might be warming up to the idea of a facelift).
