Read excerpt
I nearly did something very ADHD. If you read my last newsletter, you’ll know about the creative tsunami I have been in. Found a festival slot for my solo show, got excited, applied, got in, and started running before I could walk. And that my friends is creative mania: riding high on an idea without ever pausing to check if it's ready.It wasn't. The show was seven weeks out and I hadn’t performed it in a year. The plan was built entirely on hope: hoping an industry contact would turn up, hoping
My experience of training as an ADHD coach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently I trained to qualify as an ADHD coach with ADDCA (ADD Coach Academy). It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while to add to the breathwork and mindfulness qualifications.

What I got wrong about consistency (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have heard many stories of people who got diagnosed in later life, who felt a huge sense of grief wash over them. Usually due to regret over things in life they didn’t achieve or ‘get right’, from failed careers to relationships. I experienced this grief a second time round, ten years after getting my diagnosis. After getting diagnosed I spent years adopting different strategies, but would often get bored or distracted and move onto another. I set myself big lofty goals without breaking them d
