ADHD, Time Blindness & "I Kissed a Girl" with Amy Spalding

Amy Spalding, beloved for her humour and iconic boots, brought some much-needed femme-for-femme representation to BBC’s hit reality show, I Kissed A Girl. Often referred to as the “people's lesbian princess”, it’s fair to say she was a fan-favourite.


In this episode, Ben explores why Amy was often told she was “too much.” Amy discusses her ADHD diagnosis, struggles with time-blindness, and journey to embracing her queer identity. She also shares her experiences in the Masseria and running her successful new jewellery brand through an ADHD lens.
