Today I'm shining a spotlight on overwhelm as a parent. When things become challenging and you can feel yourself slipping. When anxiety, depression OCD and other mental health problems start to come out the woodwork because all of the additional things going on what do you do? Today I talk about my personal experience when it comes to noticing that I am slipping on meeting my basic needs and how to reset, start from scratch and introduce self care to start filling your cup back up and supporting yourself. If you are or someone you know is struggling please seek support from your GP or other mental health line such as 111 option 2, Samaritans, Mind or Young Minds amongst others. If there is immediate danger please call 999. If you would like to talk about how I could help you, feel free to email [email protected], or message me on Facebook or Instagram, links below.

This summer is going fast, but I thought whilst I had a moment i'd touch base and let you know how it's going, because being completely honest it's not been the easiest! With sensory overwhelm and lack of unwinding time of my own it has been a challenge, so I thought I'd give you a few ideas of where things are at and what I've done to support myself through it! Let me know in the comments if there's anything you've been doing to support yourself that's worth trying!

Using Mindfulness to support Neurodivergence, whether ADHD or ASD is not something that many of us would naturally turn to. However, mindfulness can support ADHD and ASD in children and adults alike in many different ways.

I also give you all you need to know about the finally published, self led, Helping Children with Mindfulness Course. a course designed to help you to begin to recognise your child's natural anchors and begin to integrate them into daily life in order to develop both a physical and mental mental health toolkit to adapt and support them through life. head to https://happylittlefutures.co.uk/courses to find out more!

The phrase "You have to put your oxygen mask on first" is often said when we're finding things tough. Whilst people mean well, it is so easy to feel negative towards that phrase! Feel judgement, a sense of more responsibility, a feeling that that other person doesn't "get it"! This week I'm exploring the way in which I feel when people say it to me, and how you can start to reframe and move forwards more positively after hearing it! If you really want to figure out how you can start to put your oxygen mask on first, why not sign up to my free masterclass? Head to happylittlefutures.co.uk to do just that now!

This is a deeply personal episode and may have content that people find triggering. However, having experienced a lot of different types of grief this year I feel it is an episode I need to put out there. For those of you experiencing the grief of loss of a loved one, of things that could have been, of new stages in life and what is behind you. It's ok to feel this, and I'm here if you want to talk. The experience of grief varies from person to person, and today I also talk about the way in which mindfulness and mindful awareness helps me to manage the every day challenges of grief.

"I can't meditate because I have ADHD." "I haven't got time to meditate because of the kids." these are things I hear so regularly as a meditation coach. However, I have ADHD! I am a parent! and you know what? I'm also a meditation coach! and I was meditating well before I became a coach as well. So today is an episode of You Cans! You CAN meditate if you have ADHD! You CAN meditate if you are a busy parent! You CAN meditate if you are neither of these, but you are constantly rushed off your feet! So join me in this podcast to hear more about why you need to stop asking "can you Meditate with ADHD?" and start sailing "yes I can"!

Getting an ADHD diagnosis is often a conversation that I find crops up between myself, friends, parents and others. The road towards it can be long, frustrating, and can lead to impatience and self doubt. However, what noone really ever talks about is what happens in the immediate moment afterwards. The time when it changes from talking to people about getting an ADHD diagnosis, to having an ADHD diagnosis. Well this week I am going to share with you some of the conversations I have had this week since receiving my diagnosis! So get yourself a drink and get comfy to listen to this one!

As the school year comes to a close and things are busy, children are exhausted and so are the parents and teachers! I want to challenge you to try something with your kids. Inspired by Heather Small, I want you to have a go at sharing something each day that you are proud of, and as your kids and family to do the same! It can be pretty hard to do, but I believe in you, and you should too! And trust me, it gets easier with time! Let me know how it goes!

This week I'm trying something different! I'm in the park enjoying the fresh air and sun and doing a bit of work. Being here on my own isn't the norm, and isn't something I really ever thought of myself doing. So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and feelings and how I've worked through them to see if it's something that may help you in future.
