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.

This week, it’s ADHD vs Autism: Work Edition… but make it a full-blown competition.

Rich vs Rox go head to head through deadlines, meetings, burnout, vague instructions and more — with Max judging each round and deciding who wins.

It’s chaotic. It’s competitive. It makes absolutely no sense at times.

Will logic win? Will vibes win?
And most importantly… will this format survive?

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox are calling time on the idea that you’re “behind.” From failed careers to addiction, debt, and starting again in their late 30s and 40s, they break down why everything you’ve been through might actually be your biggest advantage.

They share 10 powerful reasons why starting late hits different — from resilience and self-awareness to having nothing left to prove and everything left to gain. It’s honest, a bit chaotic, and full of moments that will make you rethink your entire timeline.

If you feel like you’ve missed your chance, this is your reminder: you haven’t. You’re not late. You’re in your comeback era.

In this episode of LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox dive into one of the most important (and uncomfortable) skills you’ll ever learn — boundaries. If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, felt responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or ended up burnt out from being “too nice,” this one is for you.

They break down the signs of weak boundaries, why people pleasing feels like kindness, and why setting boundaries can feel so physically and emotionally difficult — especially for ADHD and highly empathetic brains. Expect honest stories, tough truths, and a few moments that might hit a little too close to home.

Most importantly, they show you how to start building boundaries in a way that actually works. Simple, practical, and real. Because you’re not selfish for protecting your energy — you’re finally taking your life back.

This week on LATE BLOOMERS, Rich and Rox get brutally honest about money — from £40,000 of debt, unpaid bills, and having the electricity cut off, to finally building a life that feels stable and safe. This isn’t financial advice from experts who’ve always had it together — it’s from people who’ve lived the chaos and found a way out.

Instead of trying to “fix” themselves, they share the 10 rules that actually work for ADHD brains — rules built on honesty, not discipline. From banning credit cards to automating everything, this episode flips traditional money advice on its head and shows how to protect yourself from your own patterns.

It’s raw, funny, and genuinely life-changing. If you’ve ever felt ashamed of your finances, stuck in cycles of overspending, or convinced you’re “just bad with money” — this episode will show you a completely different way forward.

Why does small talk feel so awkward? Why is eye contact so confusing? And why does honesty sometimes get labelled as “rude”? In this episode, Rox and Rich unpack the invisible social rulebook that everyone seems to follow… except no one ever actually explains it.

Together they break down 10 unwritten social rules – from small talk and eye contact to reading between the lines, texting expectations, and the pressure to “be polite.” They explore why these rules often feel confusing, exhausting, or even completely illogical for ADHD and autistic people.

If you’ve ever felt like socialising is a game everyone else somehow learned the rules to, this episode will make you feel seen. Rox and Rich challenge the idea that neurodivergent people are “bad at social skills” and ask a bigger question: what if the rules themselves are the problem?
