The Moody Divergent.
Burnout. Boundaries. Bullsh*t.
This is the unapologetic podcast for late-diagnosed or silently surviving neurodivergent adults trying to make sense of life in a world that refuses to bend.
I’m Moody — autistic, ADHD, tired, and done performing. This isn’t self-help. This is self-truth.
Episodes alternate between two energies: one week is personal storytelling — grief, healing, realisation. The next, it’s rants, Reddit spirals, political takedowns, or whatever’s screaming in the background.
We talk masking, meltdowns, identity loss, perimenopause, people-pleasing, and all the rules we were forced to follow (and now get to break).
No toxic positivity. No cutesy hacks. Just unfiltered truth for the ones who feel like too much and not enough at the same time.
Let’s unmask, unpack, and say the quiet part out loud.
Welcome to The Moody Divergent.

The Real Scroungers: History Repeats, and We're Still The Target
In this bold and unapologetic episode of The Moody Divergent, we unravel the polished lies we’ve been told — about who’s to blame, who’s taking from the system, and who’s getting away with everything.
From delays in Access to Work, to the sanitised cruelty of PIP reforms, to MPs quietly claiming council tax, rent, and second-home energy bills — while disabled people are pushed into poverty — this episode lays it all out.
This is about more than politics.
It’s about betrayal, truth, and the rage of being gaslit by a system that was never built for us.
It’s raw. It’s factual. It’s spoken with lived experience.
And it asks one question: Who are the real scroungers?
