As more Australian adults are diagnosed with ADHD, more questions arise. But a newly-launched podcast offers a fresh insight – looking at ADHD as a difference, not a deficit.
Cloud, A Life Uncut Production sheds light on coming to terms with a late diagnosis, including the impacts, personality traits, gifts and challenges of ADHD.
Hosted by broadcaster, podcaster and Life Uncut producer Keeshia Petit, Cloud is a 10-part mini-series podcast that will explore the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being.
Each episode offers insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson (in main photo with Keeshia), the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck,’ psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and international dating expert Logan Ury.
Cloud is inspired by Keeshia’s own late diagnosis with hyperactive and inattentive ADHD a year and a half ago.
Keeshia says “I spent a lot of my life feeling as though I wasn’t fully present for it. There is a lot of air time going to ADHD right now, but Cloud feels like a different type of conversation. This series breaks down some of the existing narratives about what people with ADHD are like and focuses on the ways that we can lift the cloud on the different ways our brains are wired so that we can live fulfilling and present lives.”
Cloud marks the first production from the team behind award-winning relationship podcast Life Uncut, founded by co-hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne in 2019.
The first two episodes of Cloud are now available on iHeart or wherever you get your podcasts, with a new episode dropping each week.
