Looking forward to connecting! Some things I love (not in order):
* nature
* vegan friendly food
* animals (especially my rescue cats)
* living on the west coast of Ireland
* going back to London
* befriending my ADHD brain
* social justice, peace, freedom and equality for ALL. Intersectionality...

... Such a pleasure to speak to Jenny Tucker for the Telegraph's Health section a while back.

We chatted for ages and I had so much more to share it inspired a whole episode of the podcast too!

Do you ever go beyond caring in a way that feels good and ending up feeling like you've given metaphorical bone marrow?

People pleasing can be a trauma response and can also be common with ADHD where we've been so conditioned to mask as much as possible.

...why it's so common in women, other minorities, and ADHDers, and how it kept our ancestors (and us when we were younger) alive.

Ever wonder why you automatically say "yes" to everything, even when you don't want to? You're not broken - you're responding from a place of survival. In this episode, we explore the "tend and befriend" stress response... youtu.be/nJFpr5l5RFg?...

Harvard stood strong and won. The law firms that stood strong, won. We have to wonder about the firms and corporations that caved- are they cowards or collaborators??

Freakier Friday lived up to my high hopes. Delightful and full of laughs.

AND a potential solution to all the issues facing Planet Earth:

Body switches between loads of humans (and creatures) cultivating greater understanding and empathy and healing for all...

Whatd'ya think?

Awe isn't just good for our mood. As I mention in the book, positive emotions like awe create DHEA. What can you do for yourself and your Self* today?

* that highest, wisest, truest, wildest, most joyful, brilliant and miraculous part of yourself
