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. For those of you experiencing the grief of loss of a loved one, of things that could have been, of new stages in life and what is behind you. It's ok to feel this, and I'm here if you want to talk. The experience of grief varies...

"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!

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 ...

It can be pretty hard to do, but I believe in you, and you should too! And trust me, it gets easier with time! ...

This week I'm trying something different! I'm in the park enjoying the fresh air and sun and doing a bit of work. Being here on my own isn't the norm, and isn't something I really ever thought of myself doing.

If you would like to talk about how I could help you, feel free to email info@ha...

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...
