A conversation with the inspirational TikTok ADHD content creator... 'HeadNooks".

We talk about his life before ADHD and how being diagnosed had changed it for the better and helped him to understand himself.

We also talk about his sobriety and the reasons that he started drinking and also the route he took to move away from the alcohol and drugs and why learning about living with ADHD has made a massive difference to his life.

And of course we talk about his TikTok and YouTube content which......and I quote......

"With thought provoking story lines and words of wisdom….
Each one so powerfully presented

it's like listening to an uplifting sermon being preached
designed to motivate….stimulate
and fill you with positivity,
whilst giving you a hard hitting reality check….
delivered courtesy.………from a smack in the face by a wet fish!"
