Little Bottles, Big Shifts: ADHD Wellness Podcast for Women

What if the Darkness Isn't Something to Fear?  

.... and to be clear, that isn't a reference to the popular glamrock band from the early 2000's (although some of those outfits Justin wore were quite unnerving)...

 

In this week’s episode of Spooky Shifts, I'm back, after a whirlwind few weeks (new hyperfocus alert: The Aspinall Apothecary Christmas market stall prep 🎄🪄) to d...

This week, we’re getting properly witchy. 🧙‍♀️✨

Who were the witches, really? Why did their power scare those in charge? And how can we reclaim their wisdom — especially for our ADHD brains today?

Is ADHD Tax draining your wallet? Does anyone even use wallets anymore? 😂

In this episode, I’m talking about the hidden costs of having an ADHD brain — what’s known as the ADHD Tax.

On the one hand, it’s things like Hello Fresh, pre-chopped veggies, or delivery fees — they cost more, but they actually save us stress and mean we’ll use them. On the flip side, it’s the stuff that just leaks money: subscriptions we never cancel, lat...

Exercise and I used to have a love-hate relationship.

For years, I saw it as punishment — a way to shrink myself, prove I was disciplined, or chase some impossible “consistency” goal. And every time I burned out, I felt like a failure. Sound familiar?
