  • ADHD, Grief, Chaos and MAGIC in Lu Land
    Apr 11 2025

    All aboard 'Susie': the neon leopard print bus....ADHDAF Emporium are hitting the road with Lou Featherstone for her Self Love Unleashed Tour! One ‘little’ problem… GRIEF. Oh, and ADHD!

    As explored in the episode in honour of my Mum, grief exacerbates ADHD symptoms - one example; I can’t keep track of any of the dates and locations of the Lu in Lu Land Tour! BUT we will get there… and how do we get there? TOGETHER!

    This chaotic chinwag with three Neurodivergent Women is all about empowerment through connection, and it has a VERY happy ending! Team work truly does make the dream work.

    TRIGGER WARNING: Contains swearing and loud laughter, squeals of excitement, and mentions of grief and bereavement, financial struggles, depression. If you are struggling, lo siento. You are not alone.
    Please do reach out for help HERE

    - ADHDAF Emporium will be at Lu's Self Love Unleashed Shows in DARTINGTON - DEVON, - BRISTOL and NORWICH
