This week, Sam and Katie sit down with presenter Katrina Ridley to explore what it’s like to live with ADHD symptoms before you have a diagnosis. For ADHD Awareness Month, Katrina shares her journey of suspicion, self-doubt and resilience, from the first signs that something felt different to the challenges of managing undiagnosed ADHD in her relationships and career. Together, they dig into the messy realities of waiting for an assessment, the fears of “what if I don’t have it”, and the relief that comes from finally having language for your struggles. Along the way, they reflect on how ADHD can be masked by success, misunderstood by family, and hidden under depression or burnout. From moments of self-sabotage to the everyday tools that really help, this is a candid and heartfelt look at life just before diagnosis- and why sharing stories like Katrina’s matters so much during ADHD Awareness Month. And don’t miss Friday’s bonus episode, where Katrina returns to share how her assessment went and how she’s doing now post-diagnosis.
