Out of sight, out of mind: 3 ways to tackle ADHD object permanence and become the true you

In this episode I'm taking the concept of object permanence somewhere we haven't seen yet. What if "out of sight, out of mind" doesn't just apply to your keys? What if it applies to your identity? I cover: What object permanence actually is and what Piaget's research really found What the research says about ADHD, working memory and why out of sight genuinely becomes out of mind for our brains How emotional object permanence shows up in your relationships and your self-concept Why decades of masking means the version of you that surfaces when life gets quiet isn't the real you — it's the conditioned one How the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy and the Reticular Activation System connect to making yourself more permanent to yourself 3 practical ways to start putting yourself back in your own line of sight YOUR COACH IN YOUR POCKET ✨ Where Shift Happens, the free private podcast companion to the Late Diagnosed Diaries!

Why it's so hard to celebrate wins with an ADHD brain (and how to change that)

In this episode I'm getting into why women with ADHD are so good at cataloguing everything that went wrong and so bad at holding onto what went right. Newsflash: it has nothing to do with gratitude and everything to do with the neuroscience behind your ADHD brain! We cover: Why the ADHD brain runs hotter on negativity bias and what years of masking does to that The Reticular Activating System: what it is, why it matters, and why your brain is basically one giant algorithm Why celebrating wins feels so uncomfortable when your nervous system learned early that good things get taken away A simple 7-day wins challenge to start retraining your brain today 7-DAY 3-WINS CHALLENGE For 7 days straight, write down 3 wins: either in the morning for the day before, or at night to reflect on the day just gone. Alternatively, send me your 3x wins on the first day via Instagram and I'll keep you accountable every day after that. I genuinely want to celebrate with you!!!

Late-diagnosed with ADHD at 30: Grief, Relief, and Why This Podcast Exists

Almost a year ago, I got my ADHD diagnosis at 30... it was bittersweet to say the least. I had grief for my younger self because I spent my life wondering why she couldn't get her shit together , and relief that my future self could find the answers. In this first episode, I get honest about why I blew up a podcast (Lexicon For Life) that was working and started again, what it actually felt like to be diagnosed late in life, and why the women sliding into my DMs made this calling impossible to ignore. I talk about my years of learning hypnotherapy, NLP and nervous system regulation by living it myself and why I refuse to let ADHD become a crutch. I couldn't find the connection between education and real empowerment after my diagnosis, so I've created it for myself and other women like me. If you're late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed or just curious about ADHD, you're invited to the party! Welcome to The Late Diagnosed Diaries darling. Let's reclaim your ADHD and make shift happen!

The invisible reasons you feel stuck

Whether you’ve been feeling anxious, dread, or stuck of late, you’re not alone! With so much uncertainty in the world, your nervous system may be in a state of stress or survival, without you even realising. In this episode, we explore why you might be feeling this way through the lens of nervous system regulation and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs , and how a lack of safety and stability can leave you feeling frozen or unsure of your next step. This is your gentle reminder that nothing is wrong with you. Your body is responding exactly as it’s designed to. Together, we’ll come back to the basics: safety, nourishment, rest, and connection. If you’re ready to move out of overwhelm and back into a grounded, supported state, this episode is for you.
