Who am I?

I write, perform, and host a podcast, "You Are a LOT", my solo podcast and passion project exploring ADHD/AuDHD. Ever been told, "Um, you're kind of a lot"? If so — this podcast is for you. "You Are a LOT" (an ADHD / AuDHD podcast) is my solo podcast and passion project where I talk honestly about my later-in-life ADHD and autism diagnosis and what it's actually like to live neurodivergently. I also run an ADHD/AuDHD community — an online space, run by me, Jen Kirkman, where you can unmask, be yourself, and relax knowing that here, you're not the only neurodivergent in the room: https://tinyurl.com/wearealot-community Ever been told, "Um, you're kind of a lot"?

The podcasts I picked and why

1. I'm Busy Being Awesome - Sustainable Productivity for ADHD

Why this podcast?

Paula Engebretson is actually my ADHD coach, and I started listening to her podcast before I even started working with her one-on-one. She approaches ADHD productivity in a way that doesn't make you feel broken — it's about working WITH your brain, not against it. She's warm, practical, and she genuinely gets it because she has ADHD herself. If you've ever felt like every productivity system out there was designed for someone whose brain isn't yours, this show will feel like a revelation. She makes "getting things done" feel possible without the shame spiral.

3. Unshaming AuDHD

Why this podcast?

The title says it all — and I didn't realize how much shame I was still carrying about being AuDHD until I started listening. Jes Diverges goes deep on the intersection of autism and ADHD: the masking, the burnout, the "why is everything so hard for me?" feeling that the people around you don't understand. This one is for anyone who got the "you're so much to handle" message growing up and is still unraveling what that did to them. It's honest, compassionate, and genuinely healing.

Welcome to UnShaming AuDHD - a podcast for autistic ADHDers who want to remove shame, blame, and guilt from their lives and replace them with curiosity, compassion, and joy. I'm your host, Jes Diverges, and I'm here to help you reconnect to the authentic and unapologetic version of yourself that's been hidden away by systemic, interpersonal, and intergenerational shame. My goal with each episode is that you walk away feeling at least 1% more seen, heard, valued, and loved, because you belong here. You have *always* belonged here. Let's get into it.

4. AuDHD Flourishing

Why this podcast?

AuDHD Flourishing is exactly what it sounds like — a show about what it actually looks like to thrive when you have both autism and ADHD, not just survive. It goes beyond tips and tricks and gets into the deeper stuff: identity, self-acceptance, and what it means to build a life that actually fits your brain. I found this one during a particularly hard stretch and it reminded me that flourishing is possible, and that it can look completely different from what anyone told you it should look like.

5. Embracing Intensity

Why this podcast?

If you've ever been told you're "too much" — too intense, too sensitive, too passionate — this podcast is for you. Aurora Remember Holtzman explores what it means to be a gifted, intense, or twice-exceptional person, and how to embrace those traits instead of suppressing them. For late-diagnosed AuDHD adults who spent their whole lives trying to fit into a world that wasn't built for them, this show is like finally finding a mirror that actually reflects you back.
