Welcome back to The Stumble Across Podcast with your host Peter Flanagan — kicking off Series Two with a refreshingly honest and wildly relatable conversation with guest Ellie Bartle.

In this episode, Peter meets Ellie, a vibrant travel lover from Leeds with a 9-to-5, a side hustle in the travel industry, and a TikTok following where she shares her life with ADHD. From discovering her ADHD in uni to the challenges and joys of managing daily tasks, Ellie paints a vivid picture of what it’s like to be a "clever little ball of chaos" in a world that doesn’t always keep up.

They chat about the mental gymnastics of everyday life, the underrated struggle of getting into the shower, falling in love with Australia, and how she turned her obsession with holidays into a paid gig. Plus, Peter opens up about his own ADHD journey and they unpack the sensory overload of shopping centres, the weird world of flight prices, and why spontaneous travel might just be the dream.

It’s thoughtful, funny, and packed with the kind of candid stories that’ll have you nodding along, laughing, and maybe even booking your next trip.

🧠✈️🧳 Tune in now to stumble across a conversation that hits close to home — wherever that may be.
