Unmasking Christmas Joy — Scotland’s Women Podcast Christmas Episode

In this special Christmas episode, Scotland’s Women welcomes Lauren, a dancer and fire performer, who shares her inspiring journey of self-acceptance after being diagnosed with ADHD. Lauren reflects on the true magic of Christmas—cherishing time with family and chosen loved ones, creating new traditions, and finding moments of peace and happiness. She describes the unique joy she experiences performing as an elf on a steam train, bringing smiles to children and adults, and how Christmas gives everyone permission to embrace their inner child.

A central theme of this special episode is Lauren’s decision to stop masking her true self. After years of trying to fit in and hide her differences, her diagnosis empowered her to live authentically and celebrate her neurodivergence as a strength. No longer exhausted by pretending, Lauren now finds freedom and joy in being fully herself—at Christmas and every day. Her story is a heartwarming reminder to embrace who you are, find your own joy, and share it with others during the festive season. Be true to yourself, It's YOUR Christmas too!
