    When Your ADHD Coping Strategies Stop Working | Laura Mears-Reynolds

    In this episode of Finding My User Manual, I sit down with Laura Mears-Reynolds, founder and CEO of ADHDAF+ Charity and host of the ADHD AF podcast, for a refreshingly honest conversation about ADHD in women, perimenopause, late diagnosis, hyperfocus, self-acceptance and the power of finding people who truly understand you. **CONTENT WARNING** This episode contains conversation around difficult topics that some viewers/listeners may find distressing. Please read below for more detailed chapter descriptions and to make an informed decision on whether this episode is for you. Specific subjects discussed include: Mental Health, Depression, Neurodivergence, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health, Menstrual Bleeding, Medical Dismissal. If you're affected by any of the topics discussed in this episode, you can find support via the following links... UK: https://www.helplines.org/helplines/ Worldwide: https://www.helpguide.org/find-help Laura shares how understanding her own neurodivergence changed the way she sees herself, including the realisation that being “too much” can look very different when you finally understand your brain. We talk about RSD, urgency, difficulty switching off, hyperfocus and that very ADHD feeling that everything has to happen right now - even when nobody else is actually demanding it. A major part of the conversation explores ADHD and perimenopause, and how hormonal changes can make symptoms feel more intense or break down coping strategies that may have been working quietly in the background for years. Laura shares her own experience of sleep disruption, brain fog, changing periods and eventually having to push to be taken seriously when something clearly wasn’t right. We also talk about the pressure neurodivergent people can feel to keep functioning at the same level every day, even when energy, hormones, focus and capacity are constantly shifting - and why accepting that your best can look different from one day to the next can be a huge part of self-understanding.

    The Beauty Of Imperfection: How to Let Go of Perfection & Be Happier with Kim Wright

    What if the things we call imperfect are actually the things that make life beautiful? In this episode of Finding My User Manual, I sit down with award-winning florist Kim Wright for a thoughtful conversation about perfectionism, happiness, identity, creativity and what flowers can teach us about being human. Kim shares how working with flowers changed the way she sees beauty. No two stems grow the same way, petals aren’t perfectly symmetrical, and every bloom has its own shape, movement and character... and yet together they create something extraordinary. For Kim, that became a powerful lesson in learning to stop chasing perfection and start accepting herself more fully. We also explore Kim’s journey from Korea to Japan and eventually the UK, and how living across different cultures has shaped both her identity and her creative work. From Japanese Ikebana and Korean floral traditions to Western “more is more” styling, Kim has learned to blend different ideas of beauty into something uniquely her own. TOPICS DISCUSSED • Letting go of perfectionism • Learning to accept yourself as you are • The pressure to be the “perfect” daughter, wife and mother • Redefining happiness and success • Finding joy in small everyday moments • Creativity as a form of self-expression • Kim’s journey from Korea to Japan and the UK • Cultural identity and finding where you belong • Eastern and Western approaches to beauty • Japanese Ikebana and Korean floral traditions • The stories and emotions behind bouquets • Building a creative business later in life • The reality behind running a floristry business • Why imperfection can be more beautiful than perfection FIND KIM WRIGHT Website: https://www.kimwrightflowers.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimwrightflowers Facebook: www.facebook.com/kimwrightflowers ABOUT TIGZ RICE Tigz Rice is an empowerment photographer and videographer based in London, UK.

    Why You Keep Holding Yourself Back | Subconscious Beliefs with Tracey Hill

    The story you keep telling yourself might be the only thing holding you back. Transformational therapist Tracey Hill reveals why the most powerful change often begins with a single pause - and how that pause can uncover the hidden beliefs, patterns, and subconscious blocks running your life. After 20+ years in corporate tech and consulting, Tracey walked away from a six-figure salary within 24 hours after realizing success on the outside was costing her everything on the inside. In this conversation, Tigz Rice explores the moment a career built on proving herself, shame, and survival stopped working - and how Tracey rebuilt her life, her work, and her identity from the inside out. TOPICS COVERED - Why “pause” is the first instruction in Tracey’s own user manual - How regression therapy gets to the root cause instead of endlessly managing symptoms - Why so many high performers, entrepreneurs, and creatives build success from pain - The surprising way childhood programming can shape adult anxiety, burnout, and self-worth - Why some people are scared of healing because life without their old story feels unfamiliar - How Tracey uses her method to help clients release fear, anger, shame, and self-sabotage - What really changes when you stop chasing validation and start living from self-love Tracey also opens up about the deeply personal moments that changed everything, including becoming a mother after being told she couldn’t have children, and realizing she didn’t want to become the absent, exhausted version of herself she was seeing in the mirror. From that point on, she set out to help others break free from the patterns that keep them stuck. We also get into the emotional truth behind money, success, and freedom. Tracey shares why losing £200,000 made her feel freer than ever, why money is not the same as peace, and why true transformation often looks less like “fixing yourself” and more like finally meeting the version of you that was always there.
