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 forwards more positively after hearing ...

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 diagnosis. Well this week I am ...

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

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 care I have introduced as a consequ...

In these moments, how to we reground and recentre ourselves so we can move forward? It was recently half term, and the ...

This week I'm talking consistency. In setting boundaries, for yourself and kids, and in building habits. However, over time I have come to understand that part of the key to consistency is understanding yourself, being accountable to yourself, and fighting the discomfort of other things which you may want to do or say, or even the discomfort of giving yourself permission to undergo self care activities.

I also ask you to share your...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
