March 12, 2026 • 17 mins

58. Getting an ADHD Diagnosis, Thoughts, Feelings, Responses.

September 24, 2025 • 16 mins
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 ...

55. Another Ramble on Self Care.

March 20, 2025 • 12 mins
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...

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.
