After 7-8 months on a waitlist (and almost 47 years), I sat down with my psychiatrist yesterday to FINALLY receive an ADHD diagnosis. You guys had some questions on instagram, so here I am digging it and breaking it down.
Obviously, this is my experience only and is not health advice.
Liss Amyah... wow. I mean, talk about living a big life. Liss was married with a baby by 19, at 28 she left her fundamentalist church with 6 small humans in tow, she built an instagram following and business many would dream of, and then burnt it all to the ground. Today, we tell her story.

Today, Allison Davies joins me to laugh uncontrollably, take over the interview and start asking me questions, and to jam on our experience as Autistic people and music.
Connect with Allison on instagram @allisondavies_musicandthebrain

Today, I'm on my own and jamming on how this process of bringing Karlosophies back to life is honestly going for me.

I've known Dan Norris for probably around 15 years, and I've seen him go from relatively unknown web developer, to the man of the moment. I've watched his meteoric rise from the sidelines; cheering him on, whilst also being a little envious of his success. He was a man who had it all... best selling books, speaking all over the globe, and one of the fasting growing businesses in the country (a brewery he ran with a few mates; Black Hops).
But that all changed when after a number of years of huge wins, his work life came crashing down around him... losing everything and throwing him back to a place where he has had to completely start over.
I wanted to know how this experience has been for him, and how he's bouncing back (if at all). I was also curious to chat with him about this idea I've been thinking a lot about lately... which is, what happens when our best days are behind us?
Lisa Orkin is a dear friend of mine, who seems to have lived a bit of a parallel life to me. She's a voice over artist and podcast producer, but she's recently ventured back in to stand up comedy after walking away for well over a decade. Lately, she's had some success on instagram, going a bit viral, posting vids of her outfit of the day with a little funny story from her life.
Listen to our previous episode together, from back on the 17th October 2017, here.

In this continuation of my conversation with Lisa Corduff, we talk about our own personal experience with Autism and ADHD and the impacts on our lives, and busting out of your bubble.
After a big old period of inconsistency, I'm back behind the mic. And there was literally no one better to rip off this bandaid with than my old mate, Lisa Corduff. After all, she was my very first ever Karlosophies interview!
What a monster few years we've both had. This catch up was so big we've ended up with two hour long interviews. The first one is the story of Nick passing away from alcohol addiction and where life has taken her since.

It's been a while and I've really noticed the impact of not showing up here so I'm breaking down what's been going on for me lately.
