60. Managing Grief with Mindfulness, my Lived Experience

This is a deeply personal episode and may have content that people find triggering. However, having experienced a lot of different types of grief this year I feel it is an episode I need to put out there. For those of you experiencing the grief of loss of a loved one, of things that could have been, of new stages in life and what is behind you. It's ok to feel this, and I'm here if you want to talk.
The experience of grief varies from person to person, and today I also talk about the way in which mindfulness and mindful awareness helps me to manage the every day challenges of grief.

59. Can you Meditate with ADHD?

"I can't meditate because I have ADHD." "I haven't got time to meditate because of the kids." these are things I hear so regularly as a meditation coach.
However, I have ADHD! I am a parent! and you know what? I'm also a meditation coach! and I was meditating well before I became a coach as well. So today is an episode of You Cans!
You CAN meditate if you have ADHD!
You CAN meditate if you are a busy parent!
You CAN meditate if you are neither of these, but you are constantly rushed off your feet!
So join me in this podcast to hear more about why you need to stop asking "can you Meditate with ADHD?" and start sailing "yes I can"!

58. Getting an ADHD Diagnosis, Thoughts, Feelings, Responses.

Getting an ADHD diagnosis is often a conversation that I find crops up between myself, friends, parents and others.
The road towards it can be long, frustrating, and can lead to impatience and self doubt. However, what noone really ever talks about is what happens in the immediate moment afterwards. The time when it changes from talking to people about getting an ADHD diagnosis, to having an ADHD diagnosis.
Well this week I am going to share with you some of the conversations I have had this week since receiving my diagnosis!
So get yourself a drink and get comfy to listen to this one!

57. Building Self Esteem and Self Belief with Pride.

As the school year comes to a close and things are busy, children are exhausted and so are the parents and teachers! I want to challenge you to try something with your kids.
Inspired by Heather Small, I want you to have a go at sharing something each day that you are proud of, and as your kids and family to do the same! It can be pretty hard to do, but I believe in you, and you should too! And trust me, it gets easier with time!
Let me know how it goes!

56. Moving through uncomfortable feelings and uncomfortable situations using mindfulness

This week I'm trying something different! I'm in the park enjoying the fresh air and sun and doing a bit of work. Being here on my own isn't the norm, and isn't something I really ever thought of myself doing. So I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and feelings and how I've worked through them to see if it's something that may help you in future.

55. Another Ramble on Self Care.

This week, rather than having a particular intention I thought I would just do a quick ramble on Self Care. As previously, self care when things get tough.
It has been a particularly rocky 6 months or so and that makes it extremely difficult at times to mentally reground and move forwards. So today, I thought I would ramble a bit on that and where it has taken me, and the little moments of self care I have introduced as a consequence.
Hopefully it will give you an idea of little things you can start doing when things are less tough, so they are more natural to reach out to when they are more tough.

54. How to do Self Care when it feels impossible.

Self care is often thrown around as something everyone should just know how to do. However, it's important to recognise that sometimes Self Care can feel impossible! You're overworked, mentally and physically exhausted, and possibly have children you need to support around you all the time.
So what can you do? In these moments, how to we reground and recentre ourselves so we can move forward?
It was recently half term, and the stars did not quite align with when everything else fell. So today I'm talking through some of the most basic self care I fall back on in those moments.

51. Anyone can meditate to support their mental health

This week I'm talking about how anyone can meditate to support their mental health, it's just about finding the right way for you.
Nowadays meditation and mindfulness are recommend by many professionals to help support a range of mental health and physical struggles, however it is common for people to feel they can't "just meditate or be mindful".
There are many definitions, styles and types of meditation, and there are many reasons that people often tell me it is not something they can do. However, with the right tools and knowledge it is absolutely something you can do!
So join me to discover more and give yourself the boost into trying meditation to support your mental health that you need.
