In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my 20-year-old son to talk about his experience being diagnosed with autism in his late teens. At the time, he wasn’t happy about being assessed, but now he appreciates the clarity and self-understanding his diagnosis provides.

We’ll reflect on his childhood, the signs I missed, and the moment he first thought he might be autistic. Together, we’ll discuss the challenging assessment process — from the emotional online meeting to the face-to-face evaluation during COVID — and how he felt then versus how he feels now.

Whether you're a parent considering an autism assessment for your child or a teen unsure about taking that step, this episode offers honest insights, personal reflections, and a powerful message: the earlier, the better.

Listen until the end for his heartfelt advice to anyone in a similar position.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions about weight gain, weight loss, and emotional eating.

This past year, my health hit an all-time low. Between juggling kids, work deadlines, and life’s endless surprises, I completely lost sight of self-care. Exercise was the first thing to go, followed by healthy eating, leaving me stress-eating entire Easter eggs at my desk. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how I turned things around—from rearranging my workspace and investing in a walking pad to building small habits that stuck. I’ll dive into how I curbed my sugar cravings, prioritised protein, and even started ADHD medication (spoiler: the weight loss wasn’t because of the meds!).

As I head into 2025, I’m carrying these healthy habits with me: staying active, prioritising sleep, making time for joy, and embracing movement I love. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about realistic changes, ditching the all-or-nothing mindset, and finding balance that works for YOU.

New Year’s resolutions feel so serious, don’t they? They sound like something set in stone — and that’s where the problem starts. Resolutions feel rigid and unforgiving, which doesn’t suit the flexible, creative, ever-changing nature of an ADHD brain.

Another issue is that resolutions often focus on big, long-term changes without any immediate pay-off. ADHD brains thrive on dopamine (the feel-good chemical) from small wins, not far-off, long-term rewards. If it’s boring or too far away, our brains just… switch off.

That’s why instead of New Year’s resolutions, I recommend focusing on goals instead. Goals are flexible, personal, and — most importantly — achievable. Even better, I like to break my goals down into monthly goals instead of yearly goals. This makes them smaller, more manageable, and gives you 12 fresh starts throughout the year.

If you like the idea of monthly goal setting, I’ve created the Organised Year Planner to help you do exactly that. It’s a printable tool where you can break down your big goals into monthly targets, track progress, and celebrate your wins — all in a way that works for an ADHD brain.

Getting a good night's sleep can be tough for anyone, but if you have ADHD, it can feel nearly impossible. The racing thoughts, the never-ending to-do lists, and that sudden urge to reorganise your wardrobe at 11pm can make bedtime a daily battle. But why does this happen, and what can you actually do about it? In this post, I’m sharing why sleep is so tricky for ADHD brains and some practical tips to help you finally get some rest.

Have you ever found yourself dreading family gatherings, knowing you’ll have to explain your child’s autism diagnosis yet again? Maybe you're already bracing for the same old comments like, ‘but they don't look autistic’ or ‘we never had this back in my day.’ If you feel that way, you’re not alone. The holidays can be a magical time, but for many parents of autistic children, they’re also packed with awkward conversations, unsolicited advice, and a lot of emotional labour.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In today’s episode, I’m going to help you feel more prepared, more in control, and — most importantly — less stressed when these conversations come up. I’ll share practical scripts, tips for setting boundaries, and how to keep your cool with closed-minded relatives.

Does your child seem neurodivergent at home but not at school? You're not alone. Many girls with autism mask their symptoms in structured environments like school, leaving parents feeling unsupported and even doubted when pursuing an assessment.

In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt message from a listener struggling with this exact challenge. I share my own story, including how my daughter Bella masked her symptoms at school while presenting as neurodivergent at home.

I’ll provide practical advice, including:
✨ How to keep a detailed journal of behaviours and incidents.
✨ Using my 100 Signs of Autism PDF to track symptoms.
✨ Navigating conversations with unsupportive schools.
✨ Seeking external professional advice and advocating for your child.

This episode is here to remind you: Trust your gut and advocate for your child. Masking is real, and your concerns are valid.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the tough reality that so many mums face—being ill and unable to rest. For many of us, a sick day isn’t really an option. The responsibilities don’t stop, and the guilt of taking a break can feel overwhelming. I’ll talk about why mums often feel pressured to keep going, even when they’re unwell, and share real, practical strategies for coping.

We’ll explore ways to manage the guilt, take shortcuts, and prioritise what truly matters so you can make it through those challenging days without burning out. Plus, I’ll share tips on asking for help (even if it’s hard), focusing on rest, staying nourished, and why taking shortcuts—like easy meals or skipping deep cleaning—is a form of self-care when you’re unwell. And we’ll end on an important note about setting a healthy example for our kids, so they grow up knowing it’s okay to take care of themselves, too.

If you’re a mum who’s ever felt stretched to your limit when sick, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to survive these days together.

In this episode, I’m diving into the diversity within the autism spectrum and the unique challenges it brings. We’ll chat about how autism presents differently in each person, with varying strengths and struggles that don’t always align with common stereotypes. I’ll explore the frustration many parents feel when friends and family members say things like ‘but they don’t look autistic,’ often misunderstanding the nature of autism as an invisible spectrum disorder. 

If you’re a parent navigating the autism assessment process, or if you’ve ever felt misunderstood because others don’t see the full picture, this episode will offer support and insights. Join me as we unpack these misconceptions and discuss ways to help loved ones better understand our children’s individual needs.
