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?

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

Many of us with ADHD find ourselves sharing too much, too soon, or in situations that may feel inappropriate in hindsight. While the act of oversharing may feel like a genuine attempt to connect, it often leads to rumination, self-doubt, and feelings of low self-esteem or worth.

Sleep is a vital component of physical and mental well-being for everyone, but for individuals with ADHD, poor sleep can have a disproportionately significant impact on daily functioning.

The period after receiving a diagnosis—often referred to as "aftercare"—is critical to understanding, accepting, and learning to live with the reality of being neurodivergent.

While medication can be transformative, it’s only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to managing ADHD.

Life with ADHD presents its own set of unique challenges, and these can feel even more pronounced during the perimenopause years. When you add the responsibility of parenting neurodivergent children into the mix, the result can feel like a whirlwind of competing demands, emotional highs and lows, and constant sensory overload.
