Why I believe labels can set you free

What do reasonable adjustments look like for ADHD and autism in the workplace?

Hi, I’m Sarah

When you hear the word "addiction," what comes to mind?

Alcohol, drugs, gambling? But do you ever think of food?

This March, I had the privilege of speaking at two incredible events for International Women’s Day, both focused on ADHD, perimenopause, and the unique challenges women face when navigating late diagnosis.

Getting an ADHD assessment in the UK can be a lengthy process, but here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate it:

ADHD coaching is unregulated, so it’s essential to find someone with proper training, supervision, and ethical standards.

When we talk about hormones and their effects on ADHD, much of the conversation centres around oestrogen and progesterone. But there's another key player that often gets overlooked—testosterone.

For many women, perimenopause can feel like an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Throw ADHD into the mix, and things can become even more challenging. One key player in this story is progesterone, a hormone that tends to decline during perimenopause. While much attention is often placed on oestrogen, it’s essential to understand how progesterone changes can also impact ADHD symptoms.

For many of us with ADHD, we’ve lived our lives with the common, painful belief that we are lazy, stupid, or simply not good enough. This inner dialogue can be incredibly damaging, shaping self-esteem and limiting our potential. But why do these thoughts exist in the first place? What contributes to these beliefs, and how can they be reframed into a healthier perspective?

Sleep is vital for everyone, but its role in mental and physical well-being becomes even more crucial when you’re navigating ADHD or perimenopause.

Executive functions are a set of mental skills that help us manage our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to achieve goals. Often likened to the brain's "command centre," these skills play a crucial role in how we plan, organise, and carry out tasks in everyday life.

Have you ever caught yourself apologising for things you don’t need to? Saying “sorry” when you’re not at fault, or even for just existing? If you have ADHD this might feel all too familiar. It’s a pattern that many of us struggle with, but why is it so common, and how can we break free from it?

From an early age, people with ADHD are often told, implicitly or explicitly, that their behaviours are "wrong" or "different.

Living with ADHD is a complex journey. Add being an empath into the mix, and it creates a unique dynamic that can be both a gift and a challenge.

In recent years, there has been a much-needed spotlight on ADHD, leading to greater awareness, understanding, and support for those who are neurodivergent. 

This shift has opened doors for meaningful conversations about how these conditions impact daily life, relationships, and mental health. However, it’s essential to address a complex issue within this discussion: accountability. While neurodivergence can explain cha

For many women, perimenopause brings about a significant shift in both physical and mental health due to fluctuating hormone levels, particularly oestrogen. For women with ADHD, these hormonal changes can amplify existing challenges, creating a complex interplay between neurodivergence and menopause symptoms.

ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in girls and women, which means many go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for decades.
