Fact:
YOU ARE
ENOUGH.
I help your ADHD brain EMBRACE its impulses and deficiencies as the keys to achieving YOUR greatest potential - your SELF.
Not deficiency. But sufficiency.
Your ADHD brain…
Is Enough.
My ADHD world got a whole lot simpler when I allowed my brain to;
1: Get back to basics,
2: Find its balance,
3: Be (a little bit) out of control.
parenting when you have adhd
Parenting an ADHD child is one thing; parenting when you have ADHD is a whole other thing. Learn how to be enough when you think it will be too much.
Useful pointers for managing the mundane and the very boring without wanting to zone out/run away/hyper-focus/jump up and down on the spot and flap your arms…
how many tabs are open?
I’ve always likened my ADHD brain to a computer - browser open (plus about 27 tabs), emails open x3, notes, photos, photoshop…it’s all going on. But what’s your normal? And how many tabs is too many tabs?
give your brain what it wants
The ADHD brain craves stimulation; and it has its own rules of how to get it. Unlock the key to allowing your brain to be extreme, and be rewarded for it.
“Great big Dopamine boost,” I hear you say?! Yes please!
The drop-out
Learn the rules of engagement. Give your brain its meaningful desires and demands AND make the drop-out of dopamine less extreme. Master the techniques of balance within the bounce.
is it really sensory overload?
Overload means too much. For the ADHD brain, it has to be too much…but it has to be meaningful.
This is where you become a Jedi Master of your brain.

EXTRA ORDINARY FOLK - A PODCAST OF BEAUTIFUL MINDS.
*In the pipeline. Inspirational soundbites of brain brilliance. If you want to be a part of this, then please get in touch.
Diet and The Brain
Totally brilliant, and not too sciencey, advice and ideas on how a diet with ADHD in mind gets the right bits of the brain talking. (Top marks for pun noticing.)
The deficiencies of the ADHD brain are thus:
“Dopamine, meet Norepinephrine; Norepinephrine, meet Dopamine. Your networker this evening is Serotonin.”
These three voices (neurotransmitters) find it very hard to talk coherently to each other.
They like to talk about alertness, satisfaction and concentration.
Are you all still with me?
THE BRAIN AND THE GUT
Without getting too science heavy and having you all zone out, this is the section that predominantly unlocked the door to my ADHD brain management.
And from a very young age too.
QUICK AND EASY BRAIN FOOD
Feeding the ADHD brain efficiently can be a tricky business - this is because we need to know what (and how much) foods really help. I can suggest several top meal tips, tricks and ideas that can help you on your way.
BACK TO BASICS?
Simplicity.
The simpler my diet, the calmer my brain.
I call this the ‘Brain Basics’ diet because it strips away the extras so you can work out what your base level is…
For very frequent brain brilliance, then follow me in the exciting world of social media - it’s quirky, informative and real. *There are no bored buttons; so other options include throwing/hiding/planting/posting/shouting at/donating phone.
