Dear Diary,

Welcome to "The Indigo Diaries." Join host Natasha Hickling in the new series for the new year as she ventures into the world of ADHD Coaching as a trainee Coach.

Today, Tasha reflects on her own experience of ADHD Life Coaching. Almost 18 months ago, Tasha wasn’t at the right point of her life to dive deep into her ADHDD diagnosis. But, after moving countries and whilst in lockdown, she finally felt ready and discovered coaching. She has now been working with a coach for almost 14 months, and today she dives into the process, benefits and her own experience first hand. Tasha shows vulnerability, honesty and, first of all, her insights into just how much coaching can make a difference in lives just as it did in hers.

We hope you like the episode, and we hope you join us again next week, where we will discuss ways to find a coach that’s right for you!

Remember, if you would like to find out more about ADHD Life coaching, join us over the next few weeks! Why not take a step and make the most of your life by reaching out to a coach!

Why not?! What have we got to lose…?

Until next time...

Dear Diary,

Welcome to "The Indigo Diaries." Join host Natasha Hickling in the new series for the new year as she ventures into the world of ADHD Coaching as a trainee Coach.

In this today's episode, Tasha discusses the challenging and loaded topic of how culture can affect ADHD and how we look at ourselves in our world. She uses her own experience and looks through the ADHD lens to see the typical barriers that someone could face with ADHD. She looks underneath and above the surface.

In the second part, Tasha dives into the topic of having and reaching goals. She touches upon some of her gaols and looking at the journey/process, not the destination. The steps to achieve that goal are so essential and can be very missed when ADHD is involved.

We hope you like the episode, and we hope you join us again next week for celebrations and the next steps for this podcast!

Remember, we all want to reach a destination and be fulfilled but remember, the journey to get it is so important. Pause and look where you are in the moment.

Why not?

Until next time...

She gives examples of some difficult common ones that may arise for individuals with ADHD and look at overcoming them and looking at them in a new light. Then using our strengths and who we are to battle the obstacles of our lives.

In the second part, she expands this to explore what stories happen between our ears: Our Minds. She highlights how our brains create stories to connect, understand and perceive our world to serve our lives for the better.

We hope you like the episode, and we hope you join us again next week to discuss goals and culture with ADHD.

Dear Diary,

Welcome to "The Indigo Diaries." Join host Natasha Hickling in the new series for the new year as she ventures into the world of ADHD Coaching as a trainee Coach.

In this today's episode, Tasha digs into her teaching roots to discuss the importance of learning styles and adapting our lives to the environments, not ourselves, which is what we may have been forced to believe. She explores how to find out what your learning styles are for different situations and utilising that information to permit yourself to live the life you deserve.

In the second part, she touches upon one of the most challenging barriers in life, especially those with ADHD: BOUNDARIES. She discusses different types of boundaries, the importance, possible challenges, endless benefits and how we can take that first step in creating them. As yourself, one question: What are you doing today for yourself?

We hope you like the episode, and we hope you join us again next week to discuss our internal narrative and barriers to ADHD.

Remember, no one ever needs fixing..? When something is not working, look around and see if this thing, person, experience rather than inside. We are all unique, beautiful individuals that can live the life we want!

Why not?

Until next time...
