#29 I'm Not Stupid , I Just Misread Literally Everything
In this episode, I’m diving into the very real (and often exhausting) struggles of being neurodivergent, especially when it comes to reading and processing information. From school emails to appointment times to following a recipe, I share the everyday mix-ups that happen not because I’m “stupid,” but because my brain is wired differently. I also talk about the power of clearer communication, a bit of self-compassion, and why understanding our own wiring can make life feel a whole lot easier.-Have you gone through a similar journey or are you considering seeking an ADHD diagnosis?

Kicking off Season 3, I dive into the truth behind those “distracted” days, when your emotions hijack your focus and you just can’t shake it.

#27 Love Me or Leave Me: Protecting Your Energy & Becoming Unstoppable
In this season finale episode, I'm getting real about the lessons I've learned over the past year that have transformed me into a more resilient, self-assured person. It hasn't been an easy journey, but I'm now at a place where I'm fiercely protective of my energy and no longer afraid to say 'love me or leave me.'I dive into the importance of setting boundaries, letting go of toxic friendships, and embracing the 'dark side' of my personality. I share how I've learned to spot the difference between true supporters and fake friends, and why I now prioritise the validation of strangers over the judgment of those who've known me longest. Most importantly, I reflect on how hitting rock bottom allowed me to rebuild myself from the ground up, emerging stronger, more self-aware, and truly unstoppable. -Have you gone through a similar journey or are considering seeking an ADHD diagnosis?

I’m Selina Thomson — late-diagnosed, ADHD-fueled, and no longer toning it down. Divergent AF is all about oversharing unfiltered life experiences — the chaos, the clarity, and the contradictions of living neurodivergent. We’re cracking open the stuff we usually keep locked in our heads and saying it out loud. No fluff, no filter — just quick wit, real talk, and unapologetic authenticity. You are not too much, the others are not enough.
