Today I talk about challenges as a Neurodivergent adult when using mindfulness, as well as some ways in which you can start to integrate mindfulness to support your neurodiverge...

The phrase "You have to put your oxygen mask on first" is often said when we're finding things tough. Whilst people mean well, it is so easy to feel negative towards that phrase! Feel judgement, a sense of more responsibility, a feeling that that other person doesn't "get it"! This week I'm exploring the way in which I feel when people say it to me, and how you can start to reframe and move forwar...

This is a deeply personal episode and may have content that people find triggering. However, having experienced a lot of different types of grief this year I feel it is an episode I need to put out there.

"I can't meditate because I have ADHD." "I haven't got time to meditate because of the kids." these are things I hear so regularly as a meditation coach. However, I have ADHD! I am a parent! and you know what? I'm also a meditation coach! and I was meditating well before I became a coach as well. So today is an episode of You Cans! You CAN meditate if you have ADHD! You CAN meditate if you are a b...

Getting an ADHD diagnosis is often a conversation that I find crops up between myself, friends, parents and others. The road towards it can be long, frustrating, and can lead to impatience and self doubt. However, what noone really ever talks about is what happens in the immediate moment afterwards. The time when it changes from talking to people about getting an ADHD diagnosis, to having an ADHD...

It can be pretty hard to do, but I believe in you, and you should too! And tru...

This week I'm trying something different! I'm in the park enjoying the fresh air and sun and doing a bit of work.

So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and feelings and how I've worked through them to see if it's something that may help you in future. If you would like to talk about how I could hel...

This week, rather than having a particular intention I thought I would just do a quick ramble on Self Care. As previously, self care when things get tough. It has been a particularly rocky 6 months or so and that makes it extremely difficult at times to mentally reground and move forwards. So today, I thought I would ramble a bit on that and where it has taken me, and the little moments of self ca...

Self care is often thrown around as something everyone should just know how to do. However, it's important to recognise that sometimes Self Care can feel impossible! You're overworked, mentally and physically exhausted, and possibly have children you need to support around you all the time. So what can you do? In these moments, how to we reground and recentre ourselves so we can move forward? It w...
