ADHD, Burnout & Belonging: Soph's Plant Kitchen on Family Rejection & Finding Balance

In this Episode, Plant-based chef and author Sophie Waplington
(@sophsplantkitchen) opens up for the first time about her
self-diagnosed ADHD, family estrangement, and the burnout that
comes with juggling business, creativity, and self-employment.


We talk about the emotional toll of family relationships when
loved ones don’t believe in neurodivergence, the pressure to
“perform” online, and why rest is sometimes the most productive
thing you can do.


Along the way, Soph shares her favourite plant-based tips for
ADHD brains and her reflections on sobriety, self-acceptance, and
slowing down.


If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overstimulated, or like you’re
constantly starting over, this episode will remind you that
you’re not broken - you’re just wired differently.

The Hidden 20% is a charity founded by ADHD & autistic
entrepreneur Ben Branson.


Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees
neurodivergence.


No more stigma. No more shame. No more silence.


1 in 5 people are neurodivergent. That’s 1.6 billion of us - yet
too many are still excluded, misunderstood, or left without
support.


To break the cycle, we amplify voices, challenge myths, and keep
showing up. Spotlighting stories, stats and hard truths. Smashing
stereotypes through honest voices, creative campaigns and
research that can’t be ignored.Every month, over 50,000 people
turn to The Hidden 20% to feel safe, seen and to learn about
brilliant brains.


With your support, we can reach further, grow louder, and keep
fighting for the 1 in 5 who deserve more.
