New episodes of HEnabled are out! Sometimes marketing with a disability can be tough so excuse the VERY belated post 😅 The following episodes are now out:

Pad's Story: Navigating university with a new ASD diagnosis.

Sam's Burning Questions: My friend Sam does not have any disabilities but wanted to learn more about disability in a judgement-free environment; I gave him a platform to do so in this episode.

Marie-France's Story: Getting reasobable adjustments in both university and internships with a late ADHD diagnosis.

You can listen to the show on Spotify here or wherever you get your podcasts! I would love to know what you think. A new episode will be out this Sunday!

So today I participated in my first ever ~podcast interview~ on my friend's ( @barror1 ) podcast HEnabled, which focuses on disability and higher education in the UK! It was nice to be able to share some of my experiences with ADHD, autism, and dysautonomia during my time doing a masters in the UK, and it would mean a lot if y'all would check it out (and reblog if you want to help share!)

HEnabled has its first interview episode!

This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Rohan about his experiences with disability in education. 🧑‍🎓 We chatted about ASD burnout, comedy, and how it is ok to trust your gut. 🗣️ Our conversation was for the HEnabled podcast and you can listen to it via the link below. 🎧 I'm so excited that the first HEnabled interview has been released. Thank you to everyone for your support so far!

"When the shit hits the fan, the fan is spinning VERY fast." This is the experience of my friend Joshua when it comes to managing his bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) in his academic life and beyond. Joshua is currently pursuing a PhD in board game synergy in an educational journey that has spanned three countries, two continents, and one life-changing diagnosis. I had the privilege to sit down with him yesterday to discuss his educational journey for the HEnabled podcast. His episode is available now wherever you get your podcasts!

"As individuals, we are our own worst enemy. If you have a dream to study at a particular university, don't talk yourself out of it." This week on the HEnabled podcast, I was joined by the wonderful Martin! Martin struggled with school due to his dyslexia and did not enter higher education until he was in his 30s. He now holds five master's degrees from elite UK universities, including LSE, Imperial, UCL, Royal Holloway, Oxford, and Cambridge. He currently works at PWC. This week's episode truly showcases Martin's persistence and tenacity in all kinds of educational environments. You can listen to it now on Spotify via the embedded link or wherever you get your podcasts!

Time to see what's going on in the world of HEnabled this week! Last Sunday, I had Martin on the show.

Looking forward to this weekend, my friend Katharine will have their episode coming out! Katharine and I chatted about their experiences as an archaeological researcher on autism in the Palaeolithic era as a person with autism. Their episode will be out this Sunday (22nd June) wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to the show now

Thanks all! <3

For this week's episode of HEnabled, I sat down with the wonderful Maddy to discuss their experience of Higher Education.

Maddy has been studying part-time for a BSc (Honours) in Computing & IT and Business at the Open University since 2019, after Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension forced them to change their life's trajectory. During Maddy's studies, they acquired an ADHD diagnosis, which deepened their understanding of themselves.

Maddy's story is the perfect example of an unconventional higher education journey. You can listen to it on Spotify via the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts!

Time to see what's been going on in the world of HEnabled this week! As you may have seen, Maddy's episode released on Sunday. In it, they talk about their experience as a part-time student at the Open University with ADHD and other health challenges. You can catch Maddy's episode here on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. I am also very excited to announce that a new episode will be released this Sunday with the amazing Pad. We had a great time talking about his ASD diagnosis, the importance of mentoring, and the various initiatives and scholarships that he's a part of. I am really excited for this episode to release at noon on Sunday. I hope you are able to catch it! If you want to share your experience of disability, long-term health conditions, or neurodiversity in the context of the British Higher Education system, I have recording slots available for the next two weeks. Get in touch and we'll work something out!
