“I’m a Neuro-Divergent Peacock!”

 Adah (pronounced Ah-Dah) Parris has many titles including Life and Creative coach, Speaker and Artist. So many things to tell you about our lovely conversation! Nigerian/Guyanese Adah who is based in Southeast London says that she has ‘found herself’ during menopause. A late ADHD and Autism diagnosis helped the final puzzle pieces fall into place.

 Adah shares her struggles coping with fibroids in her teen years, an endometriosis diagnosis in her twenties and how, together with her mother’s help and the incredible medical team at Guys and St Thomas’s hospital (S/o to the 'G’s' at the McNair centre), she learned to make health and lifestyle choices that worked best for her after her hysterectomy.

Adah has some great tips around self-intimacy, awareness, and advocacy that I’m sure you’ll find helpful.

 Tune in for this chat and out why Adah’s friends were convinced she’d fronted a national campaign for a well know brand of glasses a few years ago!

This episode is now available to watch on YouTube and listen on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon or wherever you get your listening pleasure. If Adah’s story strikes a chord do share this episode with others who may benefit from her words and advice.
