Am feeling a bit morto – two mistakes with this episode:

The Soles to Soul Care for Trauma and AuDHD normally goes out Tuesday morning 7am Irish time but because I just realised (AuDHD brain), next week’s ep – this one – is OUT NOW so you can actually make USE of it in 2026!!!

Self-compassion, giving myself grace, a thousand DOH!s etc…

Still, I hope you enjoy it as we welcome the start of summer. As I write this, I have washing drying outside, have cycled into town and back and am feeling the seasonal shift which I’m looking forward to honouring more in the coming days – and with the Full Moon this Friday too.

Let me know how you get on with these simple ideas for celebrating and see you in nearly two weeks now!

le grá (with love),

Eve

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Happy Bealtaine, happy May Day. That’s going to be this Friday with the Full Moon, and I thought I’d do a special episode to celebrate the Celtic festival of love, lust and fertility.

And I really want to focus on ways in which you can help yourself fall in love with yourself, fall in love with your life, fall more in love with your loved ones and fall in love with the world.

We’re living through very challenging times, and if we tell ourselves that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, then it’s really depressing and it disempowers us and we forget about all the amazing people in the world, under insanely horrific conditions, who are still attempting to do the right thing and caring for others and creating good works and being forces for love and joy and peace.
