This week, author and ADHD coach Dr Tamara Rosier joins Sam and Katie to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of ADHD- emotional regulation- and why it’s so often misunderstood, especially in men.

As part of Movember and Men’s Mental Health Month, they discuss why so many men with ADHD struggle to recognise and express emotions, how that can lead to anger, burnout and shame, and what it really means to live in “hyper” or “hypo” arousal. Dr Rosier explains the neuroscience behind these emotional extremes and shares practical tools for widening your “window of tolerance”- from body check-ins to sensory grounding and even “run-crying”.

Sam opens up about his own experiences of suppressing feelings, self-criticism and learning to sit with discomfort rather than explode, while Katie reflects on how generations of men have been taught to hide vulnerability.

This is a conversation about understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface and why learning to manage your emotions isn’t weakness, but one of the bravest and most transformative parts of ADHD self-awareness.
