Four years after my diagnosis, I'm still learning what suits me.

One small moment after an event reminded me how much comfort, choice, and self-compassion can change an ordinary day, and it all started with one question I ask myself every day.

In this short solo episode, I share what that question is, how I'm preparing for a big trip, and some prompts to help you notice what in your own life could be designed a little differently.

Gut health has been the wellness world's biggest conversation for a few years now, and for good reason but here's what rarely gets talked about: the specific link between neurodivergence and gut health.

In this episode, I sit down with naturopath and nutritionist Carolyn Allen, another late-identified neurodivergent woman, to explore the connection between neurodivergence and gut health, and why it matters so much more than most of us realise. We talk about the early warning signs our bodies give us, why neurodivergent people often miss them until they're impossible to ignore, and simple, sustainable ways to start tuning back in.

Health is wealth. This episode might just change how you think about both.

Self-neglect is something I talk about a lot in my work and in my book, and it’s not the dramatic stuff. This is the kind of self-neglect that accumulates quietly and most of us are doing it without even realising.

In this episode I walk through some of what that actually looks like in everyday life and I have a feeling you are going to recognise yourself in more of it than you expect.

In this episode I want to talk about something I see people really struggle with, and that is rest. I think there can be this sense that rest is one particular thing and that it looks a certain way. In this episode I want to challenge that, because rest comes in so many more forms than we tend think about. Physical, creative, sensory, social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual rest each serve a different purpose and become important at different times.

In this episode I sit down with the wonderful Chris Fraser, a therapist with 29 years of experience, a fellow ADHDer, and the person who coined a term Neuromagnificent.

Chris and I talk about what it actually means to embrace your neurodivergent brain, not just manage it or accommodate it, but truly see it for the magnificent thing it is. We go deep into the inner critic, shame, self-compassion, and what it feels like to finally stop hiding the parts of yourself that the world has told you are too much or not enough.

I hope there is something in here that helps you see yourself a little differently.

A gentle note, this episode touches on themes of shame, self criticism and the emotional experience of growing up neurodivergent, so please take care of yourself as you listen.

In this episode I continue sharing my late diagnosis journal, picking up where part one left off and following the months after receiving my AuDHD diagnosis. Reading back these entries has been a beautiful reflective experience for me, and I wanted to share them with you in the hope that there is something in here that feels helpful, whether you have recently received your own diagnosis, have known for a while, or are simply curious about what this journey looks like from the inside.

The Lifestyle Solution: Strategies for Perimenopause Webinar: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1611227

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my own late identification journey as an autistic woman with ADHD by reading directly from the journal entries I wrote in the weeks and months following my diagnosis, the real, unfiltered reflections I never expected anyone else to read. This is part one of a two part series, with part two following in a fortnight.

Whether you are neurodivergent yourself, recently identified, simply curious, or supporting someone who is navigating this, I hope there is something in this episode for you.

Welcome back to season 11 of the podcast! Something has changed, but a lot of things still remain the same.

If you've been here from the start, you know this podcast has evolved before. It's evolved again and I'm so excited to share this new chapter with you.

In this episode I'm talking about why I made the shift, what it means, and what's still at the heart of everything I do. If you're new here, welcome. If you've been here all along, thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
