𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 - 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚!
For ADHD awareness month, I’m unapologetically showing up as me. This comes after a 5 month break, where I re-aligned and focussed on what really mattered.
I’m not perfect and that’s ok.
It’s taken a lot of inner work to not only say this, but to really mean it.
4 years ago (yes, THAT year), I was a perfectionist, chronic people pleaser, and someone who held myself back for fear of judgement from others.
I used to be mild at times… bland almost.
I wanted to blend in and follow the crowd, so that I felt “liked” 🙄
Put simply, I was a pushover who didn’t like myself.
Once I ⓚⓝⓔⓦ it was time to change this, there was no going back.
And it just so happens that this lightbulb moment coincides with another one…
𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 (𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚) 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝘼𝘿𝙃𝘿 🤯🤯🤯
Once that light was switched on, there was no turning it off.
Whilst I’m not “wild” (although I used to step into this persona… would you believe I once danced on a table in Lanzarote??), what I will say is…
I’m NOT mild.
I am me.

Over to you… dig deep and be honest, you can’t lie to yourself…
Do you…

DO NOT read on if you answered Yes to all 4 questions…
If you didn’t, I want to reassure that there is a way you can answer YES to every question…. If you allow it.
So what’s the secret? Where’s the catch?

There isn’t one.
It takes courage, honesty, determination, commitment (to your self, which in turn is a huge commitment to those around you… trust me, they’ll benefit).
Above all, it takes a whole heap of…

And yes, it will cost… I respect myself enough to know that I’m not giving my time or knowledge away. I’d never expect that from others and know that my c1ients wouldn’t ever expect it from me.

Ps. ADHD moments are common and last night was no different… I popped into Subway, and noticed a sticker that said “wild” on it. Curious, I asked what made a sub wild? Straight after the words left my mouth, I realised! 🙈
The guy behind the counter politely said…
“oh that’s a MILD sticker, we don’t make wild subs sorry” 🤣
Was I embarrassed? Absolutely not!
If anything, I made myself laugh! And laughter is one of my favourite things to do.
Ps. Did you see “mild” or “wild” when you first saw this image?
