Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is sh*t. I used to experience it all. the. freakin. time. But, amazingly, I almost never do anymore, aside from tiny, momentary remnants I can easily handle. This is something I’m so grateful for… If you want to find out how......

As it’s R U OK? Day, I’m sharing Lifeline’s number – 131114 – and some other ways to get support 24/7 because the stats are beyond confronting. Adults with ADHD are five times more likely to attempt suicide, according to some research. If you...

When you have ADHD, project planning becomes a whole other level of really bloody hard… I was recently asked by one of the fabulous women doing The Ultimate ADHD Reboot for tips for project management, so I thought I’d also create a blog post sharing my all......

13 August 2024

Halleluhia! I know this may seem too good to be true – we’ve become accustomed to nothing being subsidised when it comes to ADHD and instead having to pay heavily due to the ADHD tax!  However, I’m very pleased to say that there is funding for ADHD......

ADHD symptoms in adults can have a huge impact on day-to-day functioning. Mine certainly do despite them being so much better thanks to stimulant medication. (Thx peri and health problems for making them worse than ever over the last decade…💩) I know that so many......

If you’re a parent with an atypical brain and you parent kid/s with atypical brains, you know all too well that it can be super challenging. It was a complete nightmare for us for the longest time, but once I began to understand my boy’s......

29 March 2024

SSRI’s are one of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants and a huge number of people with ADHD are prescribed them to help with both depression and anxiety. So I was shocked when I heard more than one very highly regarded ADHD expert state that, over......

I want to tell you a story about the journey I’m on to healing from terrible chronic pain and a whole host of other symptoms that have been robbing me of joy for nine whole years – and share my New Year ‘24 intentions while......

10 February 2024

Regardless of what you may have heard, the science is clear. For most people, nothing improves symptoms as much as stimulant medication. However, getting ADHD medications for adults right is a process that all too often ends too soon and therefore treatment can be less......

1 July 2023

As we all know by now, those of us with brains that differ from the majority, the outliers if you like, are referred to as neurodivergent these days. It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, I had barely heard the term and I......

28 February 2023

It’s easy to spend a small fortune on supplements, so you want to make sure they’re worthwhile. The good news is, there’s some robust evidence that certain supplements can reduce ADHD symptoms and other health problems we experience.  Despite this, few doctors recomme...

31 January 2023

I know it can be hard to make ends meet, especially in the lead up to Christmas. There are times when spending really isn’t possible and that to stay afloat, let alone get ahead, you need to be disciplined (and that often this isn’t our......

1 January 2023

There’s absolutely no way, in my opinion, that ADHD is a superpower. That’s because it causes far more distress and, very often, total despair as opposed to a positive experience for the majority of people.  That’s not to say that it doesn’t come with si...

When I say you can design your life to live in your strengths and minimise your challenges, this is not some theoretical idea, it’s the way to live well with ADHD. Over the last two months, I have had the extraordinary pleasure of coaching a......

Being a late diagnosed woman with ADHD is such a mind-blowing experience. In case you missed it, I’m going to leave the link to Em Rusciano’s amazing address at the National Press Club about adult ADHD here. But be prepared, you’ll likely be reaching for the tissues...

1 September 2022

It’s a common experience that when people with ADHD start medication, they can’t believe how much their medication helps. Most of us find we can tackle tasks we’ve been meaning to do forever, complete jobs that have seemed impossible to finish and our racing minds......

Parenting a child by yourself is tough. Parenting a child with special needs by yourself is even more so. People often ask me how I do it. They even call me a super mum and generally admire how, for the most part, things are going really well. But they only seeing part of t...

There was a week back when my son, Harry, was two when I was pretty much unable to talk to anyone because if they asked how I was doing I would burst into tears. It was such a traumatic time that it’s still difficult to talk about and makes me teary to write about almost f...

My journey to motherhood was a long and lonely one. I’m so grateful that I am one; being a mum is the best in so many ways. But I don’t pretend for a moment that parenting an autistic child solo is a walk in the park. It’s tough, regularly. Somehow though, despite this...

3 April 2021
