In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, I sit down with the incredible Emily Geraghty; a neurodivergent mum, advocate, and honestly, one of the most requested guests we’ve ever had.

We get raw and real about what it’s like living with ADHD and ASD as adults, and how that impacts motherhood, identity, and everything in between.

Emily opens up about her own diagnosis journey and what unmasking has looked like for her - the challenges, the grief, but also the clarity that comes with finally understanding yourself. We talk about the stigma that still exists around neurodivergence, the emotional and financial weight of seeking therapy and support, and the overwhelming pressure that so many of us feel to hold it all together.

This episode is an honest look at the messy, beautiful, and often misunderstood experience of being neurodivergent (especially as women and mothers).

Up Past Bedtime with Bella Messina is your go-to for late-night, unfiltered chats—the kind of conversations you’d have with your closest girlfriends. From relationships to motherhood, no topic is off-limits as Bella, a 20-something mum of two, invites you into candid conversations with inspiring women and shares her own raw stories. This podcast is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and completely understood. So get comfortable, because the best conversations happen when you’re up past bedtime
