NeuroSpice and Life
For anyone who’s ever felt the sting of an unfair label — lazy, blunt, weird, difficult — this one’s for you. We’re Freya and Hanna — one counsellor, one sexologist, both AuADHD women with delightfully spicy brains. Together, we peel back the labels, examine the stereotypes and rewrite the stories about what it means to be neurodivergent, emotional, and unapologetically human. From masking and meltdowns to relationships, shame, and self-acceptance, we talk about the messy, marvellous reality of neurospicy life — with humour, heart, and the occasional swear. Because there’s nothing wrong with the way you’re wired — it’s time to reclaim your label and wear it with pride.

Is your “weird” something you tried to hide, or still do? What if it’s actually something to honour?
In this reflective episode of NeuroSpice & Life, late-diagnosed neurodivergent hosts Freya Corboy (alexithymic counsellor) and Hanna Hosking (sexologist) revisit the theme of weird and reframe it as something meaningful, connective, and powerful.

What does it really mean to be called “weird” — and why are neurodivergent people so often given that label?
In this episode of NeuroSpice & Life, neurodivergent hosts Freya Corboy (alexithymic counsellor) and Hanna Hosking (sexologist) reflect on the lived experience of being labelled weird as autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD people — and how that label has shown up as ostracisation, isolation, loneliness, and being treated as other.
...Welcome back to Episode 4 of NeuroSpice & Life.
In this episode, we continue the conversation around the harmful label of “lazy” and reframe what is really happening beneath the surface for neurodivergent people. What is often misread as procrastination or lack of motivation is far more commonly overwhelm, neurodivergent burnout, sensory overload, or perfection paralysis.

Welcome back to Episode 3 of NeuroSpice & Life.
In this episode, we explore one of the most painful and common labels placed on neurodivergent people: “lazy.” For many of us who are ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, dyslexic, anxious, or otherwise neurodivergent, this label shows up when we are actually overwhelmed, burnt out, frozen, masking, or simply misunderstood.

Episode 2: Labels — Reframing
If Episode 1 was all about reflecting on the labels we’ve carried, Episode 2 is where we begin to reframe them. Join alexithymic counsellor Freya Corboy and sexologist Hanna Hosking as we move from understanding the origins of our labels to transforming the narratives they’ve created in our lives.
