Even Flamingos lose their pink

There's been a reason we'd had a bit of a break and its because live has been happening.I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I thought we'd get Bruce my wonderful husband on to talk about what its like to live with someone that was undiagnosed and unaware of what they were living with.This man is my biggest cheerleader and my second biggest critic (Im my own worst for that). Hes the one that suggested I do a podcast in the first place!I asked him 4 questions:What made you think I had ADHD?What are the positives and negative aspects of living with someone with ADHD?Whats the biggest challenge?Are there any aspects of my behaviour you find difficult to understand?hope you enjoy Hosted on Acast.

This weeks episode took 3 separate attempts to record due to poorly baby!We're looking at social media this week and 4 areas that can make you feel less pink and things you can do to take control of that again1) confirmation bias2) comparisons and unrealistic baselines3) FOMO4) social isolation and lonelinessI love social media I think it has so much wonderful uses but also there is a downside to our online presence. unhealthy comparisons, people not disclosing things and not being real and honest. it can lead you down a path you didn't intend to go and can be hard reversing back from. Its helpful to remember that if the grass looks a lot greener than yours chances are its a filter doing it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this weeks episode were looking at work life balance or generally just balance. I dont like the phrase balance because it implies that there are only 2 things at play and they have to be split equally. This is NOT the case for most people and its possibly why we dont feel balanced and why its so hard for us to juggle.Plate spinning is more apt or juggling. Not balancing.We've also tried to film this one so lets see how this goes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this weeks podcast we're looking at burnout. It came a bit of shock to me when I was researching that the main form of burnout people spoke about was occupational considering all the life factors people have on them that may cause burnout. We do touch on those other areas within the episode however the majority research was based on occupational burnout and what to do to identify it and get out of it.I share my experience with burnout and some technique that can help to start to pull you out of it. We also need ideas for levels of pink please!! so get your suggestions in for the pink scale Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this weeks show we're celebrating neurodiversity week! Its estimated that 15-20% of the UK's population is neurodiverse. This means that 1/5 of the population have different learning styles and thinking patterns are outside of what society considers as being typical.Whist its recognised today more than ever there is still a lot of work to be done to support neurodiversity.I talk about the challenges I faced growing up prior to getting diagnosed with dyslexia and how that affected my pink without me knowing. And subsequently now later in life why I'm asking to be referred to see if I have ADHD too. The traits I have of both of these massively impact and affect my day to day life and I explore some of the things I do and will adopt moving forward as i begin to understand my brain better and gain my full pink back.https://www.neurodiversityweek.com/ Hosted on Acast.

This week has been the most stressful one of my life, and because of this its made me have a think about resilience and how some people have more of it than others.Being resilient can help to maintain the pink however conversely not being resilient can lead to you losing your colour!It cna be sometimes used against you however its very subjective and personal to each of us and our own experiences.We talk about what it is, why it's important and how we can build it up. along with a bit of bigging up the ENT team over at Manchester Children's hospital and a bit of gushing admiration for the general NHS and the services it provides.

On this weeks episode I'm joined by the one and only Bruce and I talk about exercise, the benefits for your mental health. I also touch on my struggles with exercise and lack of consistence and what that does to Bruce and if we both don't maintain a routine.I'm no PT or fitness guru but the idea behind this episode was to ask myself (and you) what are the things that hold me back from doing something I not only I enjoy but something that has huge (study proven) results on benefiting mental health.
