AuDHD: What Conditions Would Allow Her to Stop Surviving So Hard?
Last week I walked into a storytelling event. Before it started, we gathered in an adjacent room where an artist had set up an exhibition. There was music, drinks, and conversation. And in the middle of it all – a life model. She was a woman. Fully undressed. Posing in a room full of people who […]
This is Why Practitioners Keep Trying to “Pick My Brain” About AuDHD Women
Some practitioners are supporting AuDHD women every day without realising the questions they’re not yet asking to uncover our emotional truths. A coach reached out to me recently because he was seeing more and more AuDHD women in his practice. He sensed there were questions he wasn’t yet asking, and he had been learning about […]
Update From Me & SAM (a Self-Advocacy Mentor for Autistic ADHD Women)
I’ve been quiet. But I haven’t gone anywhere. We’ve been planning the tool behind the scenes. Her name is SAM (short for Self-Advocacy Mentor) — a tool for neurodivergent women & girls navigating symptoms that shift and change inside a healthcare system that sees us in parts, never as a whole. SAM organises your symptoms […]
An AuDHD Woman’s Journey to Reclaiming Safety in Her Body
Something amazing happened. As I’m writing this, I am crying happy tears! I got the news that I’ll be speaking (and singing a song) at the world’s biggest mental health and trauma conference this year — an event attended by over 6,000 people, most of them therapists. Do you know the one? I’ll share more soon! And the talk I’m […]
Hormones, Health & High Achievement: Rethinking Resilience in Autistic ADHD Women
In the past few months, we’ve seen ADHD medication prescriptions rise sharply in the UK and Australia – especially among women. As someone who supports hundreds of neurodivergent women and AFAB individuals, I’ve felt both relief and worry reading this. More diagnoses can mean more access. But not all access equals understanding. And not all […]
The Real Adjustment for Neurodivergent Employees? Start with Emotional Safety
Yesterday morning, I was on LBC Radio (from min 2:07:35) as a guest to discuss a story that’s been making headlines: a young PR executive with ADHD who just won her disability discrimination case after being called “disorganised” by her employer — an employer who didn’t know she had ADHD. At the heart of this […]
From Emotional Dysregulation to Emotional Safety in AuDHD: Stabilising the Chaos From the Inside Out
Last week, I received a message from a mother in deep distress. Her 16-year-old daughter has been caught in a medical system that over-medicalised her for years—rotating through departments, prescribed medication after medication, and now confined to a wheelchair after a nervous system shutdown and concussion. This story broke my heart. ENOUGH!! I heard my […]
The AuDHD Women Life Coaching Manual
Yesterday, I was ill. I had a talk scheduled with over 30 women in the Soroptimist International HQ community about ADHD, AuDHD, hormones and menopause. I almost cancelled. But as soon as I joined the call, something changed in me. Being in a community – whether it’s with people I know or complete strangers – […]
Redefining AuDHD Training: A Framework that Honours the Nervous System in Flux & Emotional Safety
At the WellFest event for the civil service this week, I said something in a fireside chat that people said really resonated with them: “All my life, I’ve gone in search of a safe person, safe friend, safe partner, safe place. Then, I realised that safety cannot be outsourced. I have to be my own […]

For the Wounded Healers in Hiding — I see You My book Tip of the ADHD Iceberg is officially out today. There’s nothing like an ending to mark a new beginning. Just yesterday, I realised a relationship I cherished isn’t going to last. And then I realised – this release, heartbreak, and then becoming – […]
