💛 Officially on maternity! 💛

It’s a feet up and love actually kinda morning!

Huge thanks to for being AMAZING and genuinely being the loveliest cafe I’ve worked in. The best coffee, plants and art and ultimate cosyness, and the loveliest little team 😍I will really miss you guys (and the pastries 😂) !!

Now time to wait for the little lady and process this next chapter! 👶

✨🤰🏻life lately 🤰🏻✨

It’s been a while since I posted so here’s a tiny snippet of some of the nice things/the growing bump!

Pregnancy has been a wild ride emotionally and physically but overall doing really well 🥰

1. Autumn leaves on the moors and 30 ish weeks! 🍁
2. Misty 🐶
3. The gorgeous drawers/change station/shelves Rich built for bubba in our bedroom! (nursery coming one day! 😆)
4. Cosy pub catch ups with Maddie and her little Nelly pup 😍
5. Kitty warming the one pregnancy book I’m trying to finish 😽
6. In my swollen ankles era 🦶
7. 35 weeks!!

Both motherhood and Christmas both fast approaching at the same time, wish me luck! Overwhelmed is an understatement! 😂

Hope you’re all doing really well and enjoying the change in seasons 🌿🍂🧡

I worry sometimes that because I’m a health coach people will roll their eyes 👀 another account talking about all the things we should be doing..

Fear not! That’s not me! Think of me as the imperfect health coach/rebel health coach/ health coach that definitely isn’t always healthy herself 😂 and I’m here for the overstimulated, the anxious, the exhausted, the neurodivergent. Let’s all be imperfect together whilst trying to feel that little bit better ☺️

I can definitely help with that ✨

🤢🤰first trimester nausea🤰🤢

Tbh I don’t have a huge amount of nutritional advice for this as I know how tough it is to eat healthy when you are feeling sick or experiencing extreme food adversions like I did!

🍌 just eat whatever you can stomach. Added bonus if it’s anything healthy but don’t worry if not! Your body needs the energy so just go with whatever you can manage.

💧don’t forget to drink plenty of water!!

✅ Chat to your midwife or doc if you’re struggling to get/keep anything down

🥨 keep snacking to avoid getting too hungry. This really helped me. Cream crackers, biscuits and bananas were my go to.

😴 Rest! As much as you can! Your body is working SO hard.

When I was in the depth of my nauseous phase, I would go to work (just about), force down the most plain weird lunch to avoid throwing up (it got so much worse the hungrier I was) then come home, go straight to bed and do the same at dinner time 🤢

Fun times 😵‍💫

I couldn’t stomach 90% of my usual diet. Not even toast! 😭

Just do what you can! It does get better 🫶

Life lately and a few announcements! 👶☀️

This slow but exciting little Business of mine has taken a much needed backseat for now. We have a baby girl arriving in December! ❤️

First trimester nausea and exhaustion was no walk in the park but we are now 5 and a half months in and I am feeling so much better now 🥳 my diet of just potato waffles and plain rice is long gone! 😅 I’m now trying my best to nourish myself and baby through the rest of this pregnancy and also trying to keep my naturally restless, anxious brain as relaxed as possible!! I’m also working in a lovely cafe so life is feeling good, just pretty busy right now and enough to juggle.

So, for now, my coaching services are on hold for the most part. I’ve been on a mega go slow anyway 🐌 (starting a business is hard am I right?!) But as soon as my body and brain are ready to get back to it, I will be back, with more ideas than ever I reckon!

Perhaps an even more narrow niche of helping overstimulated neurodivergent mummas is in the pipeline, let’s see how it goes! 😜

I’m sure I’ll be posting occasionally along with little updates here and there so this page will stay here, just fairly quietly for now, but exciting and special things are definitely ahead! 🙌

Hope you are all really well and having a fab summer!! ☀️🌻☀️

I know I’ve probably missed out loads too!! 😭

Sadly, ADHD and ASD are unbelievably stigmatised.

I understand when people say (some of) these things they are often well meaning, however they are actually quite dismissive and hurtful phrases so this is why I wanted to talk about it.

We don’t say to people who have epilepsy or asthma “everyone’s got that though” or “you’re just jumping on the bandwagon”

We all know that ADHD and ASD are being talked about SO much more now and loads of people are getting new diagnoses but.. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. This is because it has been missed for years (especially in females, as it was initially mostly just studied on boys!!) and now we finally understand so much more about these 2 conditions and all these people are realising why they have been struggling so much.

The more we understand ourselves, the more help we can get, and the less we beat ourselves up for not mangaging life like others seem to. It’s a very isolating world when you are not coping well but don’t know why.

Diagnosis and knowledge on these conditions can literally save lives.

It’s sadly so common for ADHD or ASD to co-exist with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and more, so even more reason to show more compassion and continue raising awareness 🫶

😌 Safe Foods 😌

For a number of different reasons, food can be extremely overwhelming for some, especially for ADHD and ASD individuals.

This is why many will opt for their ‘safe foods’ especially in times of uncertainty, stress and overwhelm.

As an ND health coach, I fully respect this. I always work in line with each individuals personal preferences, needs and sensitivities and together we can figure out little, enjoyable ways to bring in a bit more nutrition to your diet.

All still very much a work in progress but so far it feels a mixture of uncomfortable, amazing, scary, empowering 😃

How have you started to unmask? 🎭 let me know in the comments!

🎭Autistic masking🎭

What did I miss?

Masking can be totally exhausting! 😱 and sadly can lead to burnout, depression and anxiety.

The more we learn, the more we can unmask and make our lives so much easier and enjoyable!

It’s worth saying how so many of the things I talk about with Autism will overlap with ADHD and vice versa. Sometimes the lines can seem blurry.

Masking is so common in neurodivergent folk, especially in the late diagnosed.

I’ll be sharing more over the next few days on ways I have started to unmask. It’s been life changing to say the least, and it’s only through learning about it that I even realised how much I masked in the first place 🤯

It was about time I created a post and all in time for World Autism Awareness Day! 🙌

There is of course so much more I could talk about, but for now here is a little bit of background info for those who want to know a bit more. There will be more soon!

As someone who has a strong suspicion they are Autistic aswell as ADHD, and who lives in a neurodivergent household, and who has worked with many autistic people over the years as a support worker and now as a health coach, this subject lies extremely close to my heart! I am forever learning more and more and I can’t wait to share it all!

I’m so glad the world is talking about it more, however we still have a long way to go so let’s continue educating and sharing as much as we can to spread awareness and reach acceptance ❤️‍🩹
