The Recovery Room

This week I’m coming to you from my craft table, cutting out my daughter’s Halloween costume at the very last minute, because who doesn’t love a little urgency?

I’ve been sitting with a question all year: what is my dream? I’ve pivoted so many times since 2022 that I felt embarrassed to come online and announce yet another direction. Teaching, sewing, network marketing, business coaching, tarot, human design... I followed a lot of breadcrumbs, and a lot of coaches who told me “this is what works” when what they really meant was “this is what works for me.”

In this episode I share what happened when I looked back at all those breadcrumbs and noticed what I’d loved the whole time: building the systems, mapping the roadmaps and turning a messy mountain into a clear path. I also talk about the 7-day intensive I’m running with a client, what it means to be a student of peace instead of a queen of suffering, and where The Recovery Room is heading, with more on the business side of life, because when you ARE the business, your personal life seeps in. That’s exactly why boundaries and systems matter.

If you’ve ever felt like your journey was one long detour, press play. It might be a map.

Do the Christmas season events and commitments leave you feeling like you just played an aggressive game of rugby? This episode is for you if you are done letting everyone decide what Christmas looks like for you and want to do differently this year.

This week I share how I've gone from frantic, panicked and jam packed Christmas seasons to spending them with people I love, attending events within my capacity and entering into NewYear's feeling replenished instead of burnt out and needing a holiday from the holiday season.

Hey gorgeous! This week I share my number one way I get out of my head and back into my body especially when executive dysfunction hits or I'm in a functional freeze and want to do the thing but can't get myself to do it or feel like it's too much to start. As I was sharing I had an epiphany about the phrase "move through it" and if it never occurred to you, you're in for a treat! I love hearing from you, so if you give any of the suggestions a go let's connect inside my Instagram and you can tell me all about how you went with getting out of your head and back into your body. Lots of love, Gena xx

Your boundaries don't always have to be massive 180 shifts in your life. This week I share the micro-boundaries that help my mental health as an AuDHD mum.

These are simple ways you can start to bring yourself back into your day instead of going off and rehearsing situations that haven't even happened yet. See you inside!

Life will put you on your arse some days. In this week's episode I share with you 3 things that helped me in my darkest moments and I still use to this day as an AuDHDer + CPTSDer mum to 4 neurodivergent kids. They are stupidly simple yet insanely effective. I used these in my early recovery from addiction almost 14 years ago and use the same things in my current solo parenting season, while hubby works away from home. They work for me and my intention is you walk away with at least one thing that works for you too. See you inside xx

"Life will never give you more than you can handle" is one of the most cliche phrases, I didn't understand until recently. I've endured a lot in my life but for some reason these last 3 weeks I felt like I got another massive lesson in resilience and proof I can handle anything that comes my way.

In this week's episode I share my rollercoaster ride of the last few weeks from an exploded face to complete and utter surrender. I swear I time lined jumped somewhere between "multi month medical treatments" and "we made a mistake, I have good news". I share on how my boundaries helped me in some of the hardest moments as I waited in the void of the unknown with no clue what was happening with my health.

I've been enjoying having chats with you again, I think I'll continue giving you life updates in amongst all the content on boundaries. I want you to live your best life and it starts with boundaries! I'll see you inside gorgeous.

I thought I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That promise of peace I desperately wanted for years... It wasn't what I expected. In this week's episode I share a life update, how my boundaries are working for me and what peace really looks like for me as a late identified AuDHD mum with 4 neurodivergent kiddies, a nervous system recovering from CPTSD and chronic pain I called normal. A peak behind the curtain if you will, of the realities of doing this work, even with the hardest boundaries of going no contact behind me. See you inside!

Let's connect! Below I have links to my IG, a way to enter my world and for the you who's ready to do the work - the book born of 15 years of me creating the structure for boundaries work, so you have the foundation no one gave me.

The number one response to my question box on IG when I asked "What's ONE thing you would say "no more" to?" was "No more explaining myself". In this week's episode I go into why we tend to over explain ourselves, as neurodivergent women, and what to do instead. I share how to practice reducing the urge to word vomit, that leaves you wondering "WTF was that?!" in both text messages and in conversations. See you inside.
