This was an interview I was really nervous for - It's hard to sit down and chat about mistakes at the best of times- let alone with a microphone but it felt like the right thing to do. Enough time has past to have this chat and so, this is a (portion of) a conversation I had with Rachel over on the Now What Podcast discussing the truth about breaking up with someone who is not the biological parent of your children. It's raw, honest and perhaps, needed- to help ease the shame some women may carry when it comes to "failed" relationships.

In this episode of Almost Forty, Kylie responds to a message from a listener who asked a simple but deeply personal question: “Was getting diagnosed actually worth it?”After receiving her own adhd diagnosis several years ago - and navigating diagnoses for her children - Kylie reflects on what truly changed… and what didn’t.She shares the practical realities of the diagnostic process, the financial and emotional considerations, and the unexpected ways understanding ADHD and Autism has helped her make sense of past experiences, relationships, parenting, masking, and identity.

This episode explores:

• What a diagnosis can give you (and what it can’t)
  
  
• The psychological clarity that can come with understanding yourself differently
  
  
• How diagnosis changed Kylie’s parenting
  
  
• Why language like masking, burnout and decompression matters
  
  
• The complexities of navigating a world that isn’t built for neurodivergent people
  
  

Kylie also reflects on rejection sensitivity, friendship dynamics, and the experience many neurodivergent women describe of feeling like they were always trying to figure out “how to be a person.”If you’re considering exploring a diagnosis for yourself, or supporting a child through that process, this episode offers a thoughtful and honest reflection on what that journey can look like.You can also listen to Kylie’s earlier conversation about neurodivergence with Dr Erin Bowe here:

Unfortunately - it is really common for women to feel like they no longer matter in their own lives. It happens gradually and simply, because they run out of time and energy to even "care" what they like or want for themselves.

 When everyday is focused on meeting the needs of everyone around you - it makes sense that you just kind of "turn your own needs and wants down". At some point though, we have to tune back into ourselves. This episode is about why women deprioritise their own preferences, the discomfort of not knowing what you enjoy anymore and realistic ways to begin reconnecting with yourself in small, effective ways.
This isn’t about adding more to your plate.It’s about restoring the signal of who you are.If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, this is your starting point.
