We’re back for the next AMSG Podcast Club - and we've arranged to have a local psychologist help us with a Q&A.
June’s episode: Janelle Booker - Living With ADHD | A Psychologist’s Explanation

This meetup isn’t just about ADHD. It’s about:
* knowing what you need to do… and still not doing it
* feeling “lazy” or “hopeless” when you’re actually trying really hard
* the gap between how your brain works vs how the world expects you to work
* the quiet shame that builds over time
As Janelle puts it: “It’s not a deficit of attention. It’s often too much going on, in too many directions at once.”
On the night we’ll chat about things like:
* Lazy… or actually a regulation issue?
* What people don’t see (the mental load, the overthinking, the effort)
* Why shame shows up so strongly
* What actually helps in real life
We’ll have a guest psychologist joining us to help unpack:
* why “just try harder” doesn’t work
* how to better support people (including yourself)
* when do you give yourself a break… and when do you push through
* how to work with your brain instead of against it
Whether ADHD is part of your life or not, if you’ve ever felt frustrated with your own brain this one’s worth coming to.

What is the Imperfects Club?
Ever wished there was a book club.. but for podcasts and real life conversations?
AMSG's Imperfects Club is a monthly "podcast club" where we get together to discuss life’s messy bits, inspired by The Imperfects podcast.
Really low-key and local. If you’re not good with public speaking, don't worry - you can just sit and listen. There’s no pressure to be "deep" or have all the answers (none of us do).
