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.

Diagnosis Gave Me Answers- But It Didn't End The War
This week on The Moody Divergent, we’re talking about diagnosis — and what happens when it doesn’t come with clarity or peace.
I share how I was first diagnosed with ADHD at 30, but it wasn’t until I hit perimenopause — and everything started to collapse — that I began to question whether something deeper was going on.
That hormonal crash led me to fight for answers, and eventually, I was diagnosed with autism.
This episode is about the grief that comes after the diagnosis.
The kind no one prepares you for.
The kind where you realise your whole life was misunderstood — not just by others, but by yourself too.
We also talk about the science behind perimenopause, dopamine, and why so many neurodivergent women don’t break down until midlife — because that’s when the mask finally slips.
If you’re there right now — spiralling, grieving, unpacking — you’re not broken. You’re just waking up.
Want to share something with me?
Whether you've got a story, rant ,late night thought, or you just want to say hello- I want to hear from you.
