🎙️ Introducing Our New Podcast: Distracted Diaries – Parenting on the Edge

By Laura Johnstone & Georgie Hammer

Two mums. One mic. A thousand distractions.

If you’ve ever tried to finish a sentence with a toddler hanging off your leg, a dinner burning in the oven, and a head full of mental tabs left open – you’re not alone. That’s the heart of our brand-new podcast: Distracted Diaries: Parenting on the Edge.

We’re Laura Johnstone and Georgie Hammer – two neurodivergent mums who are wading (and sometimes barely treading water) through the beautiful chaos of parenthood. We both have ADHD, a healthy sense of humour, and a whole lot of real-life stories. So, we decided to hit record.

🧠 Why We Started This Podcast

Parenting is hard. Parenting while neurodivergent? That’s a whole different story. From forgetting the PE kit again to having eight tabs open in our brain at any one time, we’ve lived it – and we want to talk about it.

So often, parents – especially neurodivergent ones – are made to feel like they’re failing. That they’re not calm enough, organised enough, together enough.

But here’s what we believe: you are enough. And you’re not alone.

We created Distracted Diaries because we were tired of the polished version of parenting that gets shared online. We wanted to make space for the honest conversations – the ones that happen in WhatsApp chats, in the car park after school drop-off, or when you finally get five minutes to breathe.

🎧 What You Can Expect

Each episode is a mix of:

Parenting real talk (with all the unfiltered bits) Honest conversations about ADHD, autism, and neurodiversity Funny stories and lessons learned the hard way Special guests, relatable rants, and the occasional tangent when one of us forgets what we were saying

It’s messy, it’s heartfelt, and it’s a little chaotic – but so is life, and we’re okay with that.

🍼 Everyone’s Welcome in the Distracted Diaries

Whether you’re a neurodivergent parent, raising a neurodivergent child, or just someone trying to do your best on no sleep and cold coffee – this podcast is for you.

We believe in compassion over perfection. And we believe that the best kind of parenting isn’t about getting it right all the time – it’s about showing up and trying again.
