If you’ve been wondering how ADHD might affect your professional and personal relationships, you’re not alone. Navigating the intricacies of relationships with ADHD can feel like trying to dance to a beat that’s constantly changing. But, as with any dance, it’s all about learning the steps—and sometimes, inventing a few of your own. 🕺🪩

I stopped watching streaming services, Youtube and mindlessly scrolling social media. This is what happened.

You’re probably wondering if taking ADHD medication like Concerta XL will change your personality. It’s a question that can bring up a lot of anxiety, especially if you’re worried about losing the essence of who you are. I’ve been there, too. So let’s dive into this topic together, with some real experiences and a sprinkle of science.

Last month I shared a tirade against ‘consistency’ in the below Youtube video. I vowed to prioritise commitment to my goal (and the many forms that takes), rather than overly structuring what my input and output should look like. It went really well…

Diagnosed in September 2022 with inattentive type ADHD at the age of 30, I’m here to share my experiences with Concerta XL, a type of methylphenidate stimulant medication. This post covers the first 30 days of my journey, detailing the highs, lows, and everything in between.

If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, or know someone who has, you might have found yourself asking, "Can ADHD be cured?" It's a question that pops up often, and the answer is complex, rooted in both science and personal experience.

A few weeks ago, I found a dead rat in my waste bin outside my house. This unsettling discovery got me thinking about task avoidance and ADHD, so.. in this article, I'll share insights and strategies for overcoming task avoidance.

It’s been one month since I started using LEGO to track and build healthy habits. Here are my stats for the month, four things I’ve learned so far and what I’m changing for July. I’ll be updating you each month so if you’re feeling inspired, start your LEGO habit building with me!

Establishing positive daily habits is essential for our health and happiness. So why is it so darn hard to build these small habits? That question led me to try using LEGO to (quite literally) build better habits. Here I explain the thinking behind using LEGO for habit building and how you can get started too.

To build resilience in the face of uncertainty we need to comfort the primal parts of ourselves that seek safety and security. Here’s how to do that, by being more child-like.

This one’s for you if you’re intrigued by how you can use doodling as a self reflection tool, and/or you want to hear an honest account of the wild ride that has been trying to grow a coaching business self-employed during a global pandemic.

Structure, certainty and the familiar create comfort and security for us. But we’ve been falsely led to believe that they also equal productivity. What more could we achieve, and how much better would you feel, if you were allowed to follow your curiosity? Here’s what it did for me…

I want to wage a war against the bog standard ‘normal’ way of setting goals, because my guess is that as you set your goals for the New Year there’s already part of you expecting to fail. Why do we just accept this? Let’s talk about a fun, creative and effective way to set and achieve your goals in 2022

Accepting that you feel doubt, worry or anxiety about your relationship will help you to take control of your emotional environment and make conscious choices about your life. Here’s how you can do that by taking your hamster for a walk (yes…)

This one’s for the playful, rebellious spirit who love structure and wants to get stuff done, but struggles to balance that with following your inspiration and creativity. We’ll cover emotions, motivation and how to combine structure and playfulness so you stop feeling like a failure in your goals.

Have you ever looked at a successful person and wondered if they are truly happy? After all, you can look successful on the outside, but still be miserable inside. This week I talked to Janine Aurichio, the ‘Joy Master’ about what being successful and miserable looks like, and how you can tap into your true life’s joy instead.

Do you struggle with an inner critic? The little voice in the back of your head that never seems to have anything good to say? Don’t worry, we all do. And in todays blog I talk with Helen about the inner critic, where it comes from, and what you can do to keep it on mute.

How well do you know yourself? Odds are, that answer will be different depending on whether you’re single or in a relationship. But one of the most common questions I get asked by women feeling lost in their relationships is ‘is it normal to feel this way?’ – and in this blog post I wanted to answer that question.

‘Listen to your heart’. ‘Follow your heart’. ‘Do what makes your heart happy’. Lovely quotes for the kitchen wall, but in practice really tricky to do! So, how do you find out what your heart is saying, and get past the conflicting thoughts in your head? Don’t worry, I talk all about it in my latest blog.

Is it normal to compare yourself to your partner?

Or anyone, for that matter?

In this week’s blog we dive into the world of comparison, how it manifests at different times in our lives, and more importantly, how it can actually be a positive thing, if you frame it differently.

You CAN avoid failure in relationships by working on your own perception of failure across all of your life. Because failure isn’t something that happens to our relationships, it’s a feeling we get when relationships come to an end, or when we worry they might.

Here’s two of the ways your need to achieve and succeed is having a negative impact on your relationship choices (and one thing you can start doing instead today).
