I can only ever speak for myselfā¦but I know this may resonate with you too.
Back in the 90s I was on the special needs register š³
talking too much, fidgeting, drifting, ādisrupting.ā
Today, theyād call it ADHD.
Back then, it was just āHolly doesnt fit.ā
I rejected the label for years, I didnāt want another box to live in.
But as a woman, healer, and mother, Iāve had to acknowledge itā¦
Not as a flaw⦠but as context for how my nervous system works.
Hereās something we donāt talk about enough:
For many of us, ADHD doesnāt show up aloneā¦it sits alongside OCD-like patterns.
Intrusive thoughts, checking, spiralling when something feels off, tidying to regulate, overthinking, fixation
that was me.
Not chaosā¦just a nervous system trying to find safety.
My holistics practices didnāt fix me it reconnected me because I was never broken in the first place. It taught me to regulate instead of react, to witness instead of drown to soften instead of tighten and to turn sensitivity into intuition.
Now the reason all of this is coming up is because 1. Itās throats chakra season and 2. this wiring also affects how I connect with others.
Iāve always been someone who needs space. I detox from my phone. Iām not glued to constant messaging or notifications and I rarely scroll⦠which is ironic when you run a business built on connection. š„øāļø BUT My SoulFam get me ā¤ļø
I live in the now, responding to energy, intuition, my children, my clients, and my own cycles.
Planning ahead can feel suffocating, daily messaging overwhelming, and sometimes I retreat not because I donāt care, but because I need to breathe, and respond to the needs of my immediate environment which right now are my girls.
Some people understand that, deeply. Some donāt.
And hereās the truth Iāve learned:
We all love differently.
We relate differently.
We regulate differently.
Iām not speaking for everyone
just sharing my truthā¦
If any of this resonates were simply wired differently, not wrongly.
Iād genuinely love to hear your experience x
Ps I donāt think Iād have the patience to read all of this but if you did thank you āŗļø
