A media home for neurodivergent minds: a podcast, a pack, a place to think out loud. Hosted, written and tended by Diana V. Hayes.
Think of it as Heathrow. You arrive, you take a breath, and there is far more to explore than you imagined. It is not your final destination, your life is the journey. This is simply a place to begin, and to return to, at every stage of it.
For the curious and the newly diagnosed.
A grounded place to begin understanding neurodivergence, identity, patterns, and practical next steps.

Diana V. Hayes is a writer, coach, and host of Even The Dog Has ADHD. She works one-to-one as a life and performance coach: a quiet, rigorous space for people whose wiring runs faster, louder and stranger than the room they're standing in.
The friends who shared their experience helped me so much. Coaching helped me so much. And so the things that helped me, I wanted to share with others. From a website of shared stories a podcast was born, season one of what has become the rolling recording of The Bark, with six of the people who shared their stories with me happy to share them with you. And in my capacity as a coach I’ve met so many wonderful peers who support neurodivergent family life, they were happy to come and record their stories and how they work. That rolling series is The Pack.
Around the 1:1 work she has built a media home: a podcast, a story directory, and a curated network of professionals, for the people who always knew the wiring was different and are finally ready to use it.
