This week, content creator and podcast host Holly Morris is here to unpack the phrase “away with the fairies” and what it really means for women with ADHD. Holly opens up about her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism, the exhaustion of masking, and how years of being labelled “ditsy” or “spacey” shaped her sense of self.Together, Sam and Holly, explore how those same traits- imagination, sensitivity, and intensity- can also be superpowers, fuelling creativity, empathy and humour. Holly also shares what school was like behind the mask, why she used to “study” other girls to fit in, and how she finally learned to see her differences as strengths rather than flaws.From the guilt of lateness to the relief of self-understanding, this is a conversation about identity, self-acceptance, and the power of reframing what it really means to be “away with the fairies”- and why it’s time we finally retired the phrase for good.Find out more about Holly’s podcast Lousy Advice hereNew episodes of You're Wrong About ADHD are available every Wednesday and Friday.
