Do you ever catch yourself saying ‘I’m just anxious all the time’ or ‘I’m like this because I have ADHD’? 

In this episode of Finding Her Sparkle we're busting the myth that your labels; whether it’s anxiety, depression, ADHD or even your star sign define you.

As a certified wellbeing and emotional intelligence coach (and someone living with ADHD), I’m diving deep into how these labels can sometimes give clarity, but can also keep you stuck. 

You’ll learn how to shift from ‘I have anxiety’ to ‘I’m feeling anxious today’ and why that change matters.

You can honour your diagnosis without using it as a reason to stay stuck.

This is your loving reminder:

You are not broken. You are learning about yourself.

Are you feeling flat, unmotivated, or disconnected from your routine lately? You’re not alone — this episode explores how seasonal changes, especially during winter, can impact our energy, emotions, and habits as mothers.

I’ll guide you through what’s really happening in your brain and body during winter (hello, Seasonal Affective Disorder), why it’s totally normal to feel “off,” and how to stop forcing yourself to hustle like it’s summer when your body is asking you to slow down.

We’ll also unpack how to find the balance between showing up for yourself and honouring your seasonal energy shifts — with 5 practical tools to reset your routine, support your mindset, and regulate your nervous system during the colder months.

Whether you’ve been skipping workouts, doom-scrolling to cope, or just feeling flat and frustrated with yourself… this episode will remind you: you’re not broken, you’re just out of alignment — and there’s a gentler way to come back home to yourself.

If you’ve ever had a scary thought and instantly questioned, “What is wrong with me?”, this episode is for you. In today’s deep dive, we’re talking about intrusive thoughts, mum anxiety, and the overwhelm that comes with the mental load — especially when you're juggling toddlers, stress, and not enough sleep.

We explore why these thoughts happen (especially postpartum), how our brains shift into fight-or-flight mode as mums, and what these patterns have to do with survival instincts, overstimulation, and the stories we tell ourselves.

You’ll learn simple mindset tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you detangle from anxious thoughts, name the inner critic, and create more self-compassion in motherhood. This is your permission slip to stop judging yourself for the way you feel — because you're not broken, you're just overwhelmed.

Whether you’re feeling snappy, overstimulated, or scared by your own thoughts, you are not alone. Let this be your reminder that healing starts with awareness — and that it’s safe to take up space for your feelings.

If you have been comparing you and your habits or goals when you’re in a hard chapter of life to you and your habits and goals when you are totally thriving and motivated then this episode is for you.
