This month Nicky is talking about something that affects millions of neurodivergent people, carers, and everyone really! Let's talk about... Form Filling!

From benefits to education, housing to healthcare, forms are often the only way to access the support you need. So why are they so badly designed for the very people who need them most?

This episode covers the real cost of inaccessible forms, why they fail neurodivergent people so consistently, and what good actually looks like when someone bothers to get it right.

Plain language. Real examples. No jargon.

This week's episode of Let's Talk About... Unheard Stories is a special one. 💙

After 15 years as the admin heart of ADHD+ Perth, Lorna Fotheringham has just retired, and I couldn't let that moment pass without saying a very public thank you.

I've been part of the ADHD+ Perth community for over 20 years. Lorna is one of those people who shows up, gets on with it, and makes everything work, quietly and consistently with so much warmth.

She came in 2012 for a day's filing, and almost fifteen years later, here we are!

I'm re-releasing my full conversation with Lorna as a tribute to everything she has contributed to our community.

To mark International Women's Day, Nicky visits one of the most extraordinary pieces of Scottish history currently on public display, the last letter ever written by Mary Queen of Scots.

Written in the early hours of 8th February 1587, just hours before her execution at Fotheringhay Castle, the letter is now on free display at Perth Museum until 26th April 2026, the first time it has been displayed north of Edinburgh in modern times.

Nicky reflects on what it feels like to stand in front of this remarkable piece of history, the composure of Mary's handwriting, and why her words still resonate more than 400 years later.

🏛️ Perth Museum - Free admission 📅 Open until 26th April 2026 ⏰ Last admission 4.40pm Mon-Sat | 3.40pm Sunday
