In this guest episode of the The Therapy Edit, Anna chats to author, journalist and ADHD champion about her One Thing: listening to the similarities instead of the differences.

Kat Brown is a British journalist and commentator whose work examining everything
from radio dramas to health stigma has appeared widely in her home press. Her first
books, It's Not a Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult and No One Talks
About This Stuff: 22 Stories of Almost Parenthood, were published 49 days apart, which
feels like both a record and a mistake. She loves horse riding and tarot and lives in
south London with her husband, their dog, and two appalling cats.

In this Friday guest episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna chats for a second time to Claire Russell who this times shares how she's pivoted her life to try and rediscover the version of herself that she felt had become lots in motherhood. 

Claire, early years specialist and Mum of 3 boys previously known as the 'play lady', is now helping Mums with more than just play.

After having her third baby Raffy in 2022, Claire was struck with the uncomfortable feeling of being lost. I didn't recognise myself.

In Claire's words 'It didn't look like me, I didn't feel like me and I wasn't doing all of the things I used to enjoy. I missed the 'old me'. At the time I didn't realise it but I was suffering from 'lost identity'. I felt like I was the only person feeling this way. Something had to change, it was my turn to step off the sidelines and into the spotlight! And it all started with getting to know myself again, love myself again and look after myself again. Since then I have grown physically and mentally stronger, pivoted my online business and set big goals to achieve my desired life. And now I'm enjoying helping other women to do the same and start their new chapter, whatever that might look like!'

You can find out all about what Claire is now up to here.
