Most people have heard of burnout – physical and emotional exhaustion due to prolonged stress – but have you heard of neurodivergent burnout? People with ADHD, autism and other neurodivergencies can experience this when they have been masking for too long with too little support. In today’s bite-sized episode, I’m sharing some advice for handling burnout and chronic illness that can arise from it.

A lot of people think that because they had food on the table growing up, they didn’t live in a war zone or have any major negative experiences, they don’t have trauma. However, it’s not just the big things that can cause trauma and a lot of it can actually stem from conditioning that occurred during childhood and the lack of certain needs being met, too. Diving into this topic and others like somatics, living authentically and toxic relationships is my guest Cara Hooper, a Leadership, Life and Trauma Coach who is a mum, a CPTSD survivor and has a vocational drive to facilitate the release from trauma using somatic EMDR and coaching.

I get asked a lot of questions on social media about managing setbacks, keeping hopeful, and balancing work and money when having a chronic illness. Today I'm answering them! This is my first shorter episode, and I'm hoping that including these into the podcast will help to give you something to listen to when you have low energy or a bit of a shorter concentration span. If this episode prompts a question for you, or you have anything else you'd like to ask, head over to Instagram or Facebook and ask away!

When today's guest, Love and Life Coach Katharine Morgan was diagnosed with malrotation of the intestine as a teenager, she never thought that it would be a lifelong process to recovery. Through a combination of visualisation, EFT tapping and self-hypnosis, she took back control and discovered the power of accepting her situation in order to control her pain. Katharine also talks about her upcoming book series that will help to provide daily guidance to free yourself from chronic pain.

Once I’d noticed that the vast majority of my 1:1 clients have either diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD, I knew I needed to create a podcast episode about the link between ADHD and chronic illness. I’ve done so much research on this, and I’m excited to share it with you! More and more adults, particularly women, are discovering that a lot of problems they face are down to ADHD, and so I wanted to share more about how I handle my symptoms and also track my cycle to discover when I’ll feel at my best and worst.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Managing my ADHD symptoms
• How having ADHD affects my life
• Why unmanaged ADHD can trigger chronic illnesses
• The influence of your menstrual cycle on ADHD

How many times have you prioritised your work, a project or any other stressful life event over yourself? I’m willing to bet quite a few times – if not every time. Over the last few months, we’ve been turning our house into an Airbnb so there’s a LOT that needed to be done which could easily have completely overwhelmed my whole life! So, in today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve managed to get through it all without sacrificing my health and wellness. 

In this episode, I’m chatting about:

• Updating you on all the things that have been happening over the last few months and why it’s been so stressful!
• What I’ve been focusing on in order to get me through this period
• Why recovery is never complete and you’ll always have more to do!

At one point, I was so sick of being asked if I’d tried yoga that I got a sticker for my mobility scooter that said “Yes, I have tried yoga. No, it didn’t work”. If I had known then that some types of yoga aren’t even physical, maybe I might not have got it! Today’s guest is my friend Sayeeda Alam, who is a dedicated yoga teacher and Ayurvedic lifestyle advisor passionate about holistic well-being. She considers herself 95% healed from CFS and believes in the power of offering tailored practices to others looking to find balance in body and mind.

If this episode inspires you to take up a form of yoga, especially a non-physical one, I’d love to hear from you. My Instagram is linked on the show notes for this episode and my DMs are always open!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Why Sayeeda found yoga essential to recovery and different types of yoga you can try too
• How trauma can affect you physically, not just mentally
• Why accepting your chronic illness is so important in healing from it
• The changes Sayeeda made to her lifestyle that she feels helped her

Men can often find it much harder to open up and be vulnerable with others than women do, but have you ever considered how this could impact them when they find themselves struggling with a chronic illness? Diving into this topic and so much more with me is Mike Watts, the co-founder of an online educational company with his wife, Kate Northrup, whose mission is to help women create a better relationship with money, sex and power. Mike also shares his experience with being hit by a car and how stress set off a chronic skin condition that took him years to overcome.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• The impact stress had on Mike and how it triggered a chronic illness
• Balancing work, life and health and why you need to know the limit of what your health will allow you to do
• How men’s healing journey is different to women’s
• Opening up to others, being vulnerable and asking for support

In this first ever guest episode, I’m joined by Dr Aisling Quiery, an NHS GP with a background in addictions work who also works as a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, Maturation Coach, and psychedelic guide at Imperial College London. Through her additional training beyond a medical degree, her lived experience of anxiety and long Covid, as well as using psychedelics as a healing medicine in the jungle with Dr Gabor Maté, Aisling is uniquely placed to discuss the limitations of modern medicine when it comes to chronic illnesses and talk more about why GPs should be empowering their patients to look beyond test results for answers about their conditions.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• What Aisling believes are the main limitations of the medical model from her perspective as a GP
• Aisling’s own experience of anxiety and long Covid
• Why it’s important that GPs validate their patients’ experience of chronic illness or trauma but also empower them to heal themselves
• The idea that psychedelics can be used for healing and Aisling’s own experience of this
• How Aisling’s body remembered her birth, and how implicit memories are held in the body but are often not able to be recalled
