In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rox opens up about her perimenopause journey — from her very first symptoms at to recently starting HRT. She talks honestly about the brain fog that felt like being underwater, the exhaustion nothing could fix, and the moment she was convinced her life was over.

They unpack why perimenopause hits ADHD women harder, why nobody warned us this was coming, and the year Rox left her HRT unopened in the cupboard out of fear. Plus the male doctor who tried to talk her out of taking it.

Then comes the turnaround. Eight weeks into HRT, Rox describes getting her life back — her sleep, her energy, her confidence, her creativity. If you've been feeling weird in your body and wondering what's wrong with you, this one is for you.

This week, we’re talking about THE ADHD DIET — 10 simple, evidence-backed ways that what you eat can actually impact your ADHD symptoms. From protein and blood sugar to hydration, vitamins and ultra-processed food, we break down the changes that can make the biggest difference (without overcomplicating it).

But… in true LATE BLOOMERS fashion, we’re not exactly smashing it. From Monster-for-breakfast confessions to scoring ourselves a very questionable 3/10, this episode is as real as it gets. Because knowing what helps and actually doing it are two very different things.

If you’ve ever struggled with energy crashes, sugar cravings, or just feeding yourself consistently — this one’s for you. Start small, pick one or two things, and see what happens. No perfection, no pressure… just progress.

For years, I misunderstood the person I love. I thought silence meant disconnection. I thought bluntness was rudeness. I thought a lack of reaction meant a lack of care. I didn’t realise I was filtering everything through my own lens… and getting it completely wrong.

In this episode, we break down 10 behaviours that are often misunderstood in autism — from shutdowns and needing plans, to missing hints and showing love differently. What I once saw as rejection, control, or distance… was actually overwhelm, honesty, and care.

This changed our relationship. Less blame, more understanding. Less shame, more compassion. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or unsure how to read someone you love — this one might change everything.
