DMC #2 With Phoebe Averdieck

“Can I be honest with you?”

In this debut episode of Time For A DMC, hosts Jono Godlee and Joe Hackman skip the small talk and dive straight into the "proper" conversations. From the 3:00 AM post-club "come downs" at uni to a life-changing drive back to the city of Norwich, Jono and Joe explore how this podcast was born from a simple need for more honesty, curiosity, and connection.

The guys pull back the curtain on the "ADHD Iceberg," discussing the parts of neurodiversity that rarely make it into everyday conversation. Jono shares his journey from a childhood diagnosis to finding his "sweet spot" with medication, while Joe opens up about his own path toward self-discovery and the "vicious cycle" of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).

In this DMC, we explore:

• The ADHD Squiggle: Why getting from Point A to Point B involves 15 different destinations along the way.
• Masking & Authenticity: The exhaustion of "performing" for a neurotypical world and the relief of finding people who are an "exception to your social battery."
• The "Knee-Jerk" Reaction: Strategies for navigating RSD and using mindfulness to observe the "traffic" of your thoughts.
• Why Norwich? How a city can become a "happy place" where the brain finally slows down.
  

Whether you’re neurodivergent, a fellow creative, or just someone tired of the noise, join us for an unpolished, raw look at the messy bits of life.

It’s time to listen differently. It’s time for a DMC.
