In our household, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. 🤩

Normal is boring!

I might look pretty conservative - I don’t feel like I need to express my unconventional ways outwardly these days.

But I assure you. There is absolutely nothing remotely normal or conventional about me!

So, please know that there is no judgement here! And feel free to share your stories with us here and my DM’s are always open. 😘

I don’t know about you but it annoys the crap out of me when people bang on about it being ‘trendy’ to have ADHD. 🙄

Thanks to the interwebs, the fact is that it just hit tipping point in terms of people being able to access info - and the rest is history!

I’m grateful that social media enabled people to recognise their own experience in others. That’s often the first step to seeking a diagnosis.

And they can be life-changing! 😊👍🤩

I’m yet to meet anyone who regretted getting a diagnosis. Once we know what we’re dealing with, it can make all the difference to designing a life in which you can thrive

If you’d like hand doing so, come join me for a zoom call to get a feel for my ADHD coaching.

This is such a brilliant idea…am sharing in case it helps. 👍🤞

It wouldn’t work for me because I don’t tidy the the house this way. I can’t for the life of me be this systematic! And I tend to do one room at a time - like on different days!

*But* I do a similar version of this.

My son's room is the only place that accumulates crap because I have the type of ADHD that cannot for the life of me function in clutter.

Plus I’m hyperactive, so while my mess was disastrous as a kiddo, I’m pretty tidy these days as I cannot think at all in mess!

In his room, there’s a container under his bedside table that we throw everything that doesn’t have an easy access home in. And once in a while we go through it together.

Do you do what is suggesting? Or will you try it?

What are some other tips you use that help keep you organised?

Please share! I have found some absolutely *gold* ways to do housework on socials! 😊

I come back to this one over and over because it speaks to me so hard.

Only mamas with ADHD+ know how heavy the load can be… 🥴

Please remember that you don’t have to carry it all on your own. Getting help can mean sanity. Years of pushing through mean we’re programmed not to do this, but it’s essential.

Sometimes, the smallest nuggets of gold come from someone who understands what you’re going through and can change everything! 🪙

If this sounds good, book a free call via the link in my bio and let's chat about how coaching can help. x

Did you know that people with joint hypermobility are 25-50% more likely to have ADHD?

It’s now becoming better understood that being super flexi is literally just the tip of the iceberg.

Many (if not all of us - watch this space) have extra stretchy connective tissue throughout our bodies. 😳

What really sucks is that this stuff can make our symptoms worse! 😫 And can also cause all sorts of other issues such as:

✨Chronic Pain
✨Fatigue
✨Gut issues

And even just good old clumsiness - which is a double whammy considering we’re more likely to bash into things due to our attention issues… 🙄

I’m afraid it doesn’t stop there. A whole lot of other health issues often come along for the ride as well. You’ll find stacks of info about this in other posts on my website.

So if you need a hand managing all the things, remember, I’m a registered nurse as well as an ADHD coach so I can help.

Thx for the video 🎥 !

🤣😭🤣😭…this!

I will have to start sprinkling that into my sentences!

There are definitely days I feel like I’m hanging on by a thread.🧵

Thanks to 🎥 on TikTok for the relatable feels.

I hope it hit home for you too! 😄

Please share with other people you think will get a kick out if it.

Have an amazing weekend. x

Listen, sometimes we need to share the good and the bad…because if you can’t laugh you’ll cry. 😭

Some days you nail it and others you walk into a room and completely forget your name let alone why you're there! 😆

I’ll break the ice…

Not really funny - but thank goodness we live near the pool or my boy wouldn’t have been able to participate in the school swimming comp…poor child!

Who else can relate? I would love to hear yours so we can all commiserate together the minds we had pre peri (and long COVID in my case).

It may not have ever worked very well, but gosh it worked a hell of a lot better than it does now!

Looking forward to hearing about yours. Leave it below. x

Most people aren’t given the support they need to go through the process of finding the right medication at just the right dose for them. 💊

Or sometimes even a combo of stimulant and non-stimulant will be what causes the best outcome with the least side-effects.

There are 2 types of stimulant 'molecule' used in ADHD medications.

While many will do great on either, some will do waaaaay better on one than the other.

💥Stimulant 1: Methylphenidate - Ritalin, Ritalin LA and Concerta
💥Stimulant 2: Dexamphetamine - Dexamphetime and Vyvanse

And everyone has a different 'optimal dose' which is why getting it right takes trial and error.

I know from my own experience and from helping countless clients advocate for optimal medical management, trying different medications and doses is essential for the majority of us. Especially for women+, and especially for those of us 35+ when hormones can wreak havoc.

As an RN and coach, I’m passionate about helping others figure it out sooner with less grief along the way. 😊

How freaking hilarious and accurate in this! [Thanks 🎥.fuel] 🤣
🤣🤣

If you are a women+ currently experiencing the wild roller coaster that is living with ADHD whilst in the throes of peri/menopause…I feel you! 🎢

It’s a certain kind of hell not knowing which version of you is going to show up on any given day. 🫠

The mid-life hormones are doing their thing (or not) and the impact can be seriously next level.

Sometimes we just have to laugh or we’d go *properly* loopy! 😬

The research is in! Peeps with ADHD experience *waaaay* more fatigue than most. 😪

And we become programmed over time to constantly push through tasks, mask our symptoms, and just put up (and shut up) with overstimulation…

But if we don’t listen to our bods and rest up, burnout or illness are inevitable. (Don’t I know it!?😫)

So don’t ignore the many signs that there’s more going on than the usual mid-life/parenting tiredness most people experience. Some signs to take seriously include:

🙁 Brain fog or worse forgetfulness
🙁 Feeling emotionally numb or more sensitive
🙁 Getting overwhelmed by small tasks
🙁 Loss of motivation
🙁 Physical fatigue

Rest, rest, rest is your best friend! Taking it easy is *essential* if you want to stay well and have good ADHD management as we get a little older.

Simplify where you can, delegate what you can & pause what doesn’t need to be done. And prioritise things that fill your cup! ☕

If you need support or have questions, my dm’s are always open. Feel free to reach out. Or book a free call below!

Getting an ADHD diagnosis can be incredibly daunting - not to mention not remotely ADHD friendly!

(Hello forgetting important appointments/documents!) 🙋‍♀️

But there are a few simple things you can prioritise sharing with your psychiatrist that will help avoid setbacks.

While you should never keep anything from your psychiatrist/doctor, talking first and foremost about FEELINGS sometimes isn’t helpful!

They’re more interested in behaviour with ADHD. So share examples of the times that the ‘core symptoms’ - attention, impulse control and hyperactivity - have affected you throughout your life and the impact this has had.

I hope this helps, if this found you at the right time…good luck. 🥰

Head to my blog post below about this and you'll find many other super helpful ones on the website too. x
