    Motherhood and ADHD - Why Mums Should Put Themselves First

    Get in touch to see how I can help you! ⁠https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/⁠ In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet talks with Marie Arymar, coach, author and host of Precarious Parenting. They discuss all things motherhood and ADHD, from behaviour management to organisation. Most mothers NEVER put themselves first, this episode explores the idea of investing time and patience into yourself, helping you realise that you ARE enough, and that you are a good parent. MARIE BIO: Most of the mums I work with are holding everything together on the outside — and quietly unravelling on the inside. Most of the young people I work with feel like no one really gets them.      My work is simple, but it's not always easy to hear: you're more okay than you think. And so are your kids.      As a Clarity® Coach, I work one-to-one online with mums and young people (from age 9 upwards). I don't give advice or fix problems. I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and help people find their way back to what they already know — because the answers are usually already there, buried under the noise.        I'm also the author of Do You Want To Know A Secret? — a short, illustrated book about inbuilt resilience, for ages 8 to adult. Available on Amazon.        I'm the host of Precarious Parenting — a podcast of honest, real stories from real people. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon.        Plus I'm the creator of Us, In Our Words — a recorded conversation that captures the love, laughter and stories between two people. A keepsake, for keeps.    Socials: FB: https://www.facebook.com/RealisationWorks/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marie-arymar-b1473371/ TikTok: @ThatAuntyVibe  https://www.tiktok.com/@realisationworks?_r=1&_t=ZN-95JG1719lkE Website: https://www.realisationworks.com/ - People can connect here and subscribe to my emails (infrequent!)

    Addiction, Spirituality and ADHD - Breaking through Alcoholism with Hamish Niven

    Get in touch to see how I can help you! https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/ In this episode of Gifted with ADHD, Juliet talks with Hamish Niven, Host of The Brave Man Project podcast and thought coach. They discuss Hamish's crippling addiction, which resulted in total burnout, and his prevailing recovery and soul-searching through spirituality. Have you ever felt that ADHD is sending you into a negative spiral? This podcast will inspire you to seek help. About Hamish: Hamish Niven spent twenty-five years filming and photographing other people's lives whilst avoiding his own. Professional, reliable, creative - the man who always showed up. Yet all a performance. When addiction brought him down, he didn't find recovery. He found the man buried alive by his own competence. Provocative and deeply honest, The Brave Man Project is for men who know that behind "I'm fine," something is quietly falling apart. The strategies that build an empire are often the ones that bury the man who built it. Every conversation cuts past the story into the emotions underneath - because when another man names the feelings you've never said out loud, you realise you're not alone. If he got out, so can you. These are the conversations no one else is having with you.

    Overcoming Overwhelm, Anxiety and Depression With Missy Maiorano

    Get in touch to see how I can help you! ⁠https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/⁠ In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet talks with Missy Maiorano, certified change coach, about all things overwhelm. They explore anxiety, depression and even touch on the spiritual. If you've ever suffered from an overactive mind, this episode will give you some tips into unpacking and liberating your mind. GUEST BIO: Hi! My name is Missy Maiorano and I am a Certified Change Coach with a passion for helping people who suffer with chronic or acute physical symptoms as well as issues with anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. I was drawn to coaching after a lengthy season of suffering with chronic hives and idiopathic angioedema, along with extreme anxiety, panic, and depression. Before becoming certified myself, I sought advice from more traditional therapists than I can count. Thankfully, I just sort-of “fell into” a whole new understanding of life that opened my eyes and my heart to something so much deeper. Today, I coach full-time from this deeper and MUCH lighter understanding of who we are and how Life unfolds. My work with clients and groups is more of an “unlearning” and an “uncovering.” Together, we see what is stable, timeless, and innate beneath the veils of cultural conditioning and learned concepts. The experience of Life becomes freer, lighter, and much more expansive.
