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

Ep. 17 Living with and ADHD'er

On this weeks show were looking at what the research says confidence is and let me tell you its not what I thought! I listened to a podcast from Mel Robins recently who made me think differently about what its is and how it comes about and I wanted to share this with you. You can listen to the podcast I'm referring to here https://open.spotify.com/episode/21xePLmMVneXbBTZWyXrfD?si=JKbc581aRCqDPVezCH-O5g we also talk about the bees, camping and Bruce gatecrashes for a little minuet too There's also a little challenge in there for you to do so are you going to take me up on it....

Ep. 16 Confidence - its not what you think it is

parental Imposter syndrome 

On this weeks episode we have a bee update, get interrupted and distracted by Bruce and Magnus and explore imposter syndrome in relation to parenting and in general. Its a struggle so many of us go through but not all of us talk about the feeling of being a fraud and feeling like 'we're going to get found out' I've been getting it a lot recently about this podcast and I've had it on more than one occasion since becoming a step mum and a mum. I did wonder if it can happen in a non-work environment at it turns out it can. We look at what i is, how it shows up, types of imposter syndrome and some suggestions on how to start combating it and putting it to one side

Ep 15. Is it me?? Am I the imposter??

On this weeks episode I am joined by the marvellous Suzanne Coulton.Suzanne is a mum, a wife, a campervan owner and as well as those things she is also the Chief Operating Officer of The INKEY List so she is always balancing things. We had such an amazing conversation about balancing everything, our choices, how they can make you pink or not. Listen to us discuss an unpopular opinion and discussed a time where Suzanne wasn't at her pinkest. And share some of the joys of how kids keep us honest and true I really enjoyed recoding this this episode, I hope you enjoy listening to it too

Ep 14. You can have anything, not everything

We've had a bit of a break since the last recording so hello again. We are talking about coaching today, what it is, coaching vs mentoring, what it isnt and why it can help. I give a few examples of how its helped me and how you might be able to benefit from it too

Ep 13. How coaching can help to get your pink back

Social media in the role of being less pink

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 loneliness I 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!

Ep 12. If the grass looks greener on the other side its probably a filter

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!

Ep 11. Balancing scale vs spinning plates

On this weeks podcast we have the wonderful Emily Ellis talking to us about her amazing business WorkBabyLife and how she is holistically helping parents-to-be and managers navigate maternity/parental leave and returning to work. We talk about times she's not been as pink as she is today and what that meant for her. Also we talk about why she is feeling like she's ready to shake her tail feathers. you can find details of the support Emily can offer on her webpage here: https://www.workbabylife.co.uk/ <h3> </h3>

Ep 10. Emily Ellis and why she is ready to shake her tail feathers

I have lost my pink, just like the flamingos do when they have a new chick. Im pretty sure I'm not the only one to lave lost their pink too. So in order to help me to find it again (and hopefully help any other white flamingos out there) I'm starting a podcast to talk abut the things that make us lose our pink and how we can start to get it back. Im going to be asking questions of myself and doing some call to actions, I'll be treating this like my own solo coaching session and educating myself along the way to find my purpose and my pink again Find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/evenflamingoslosetheirpink?igsh=dTEzYXN5MDRqYjRz Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@talesofgrace85?_t=8jpLESZ85J2&amp;_r=1 Or email me evenflamingoslosetheirpink@gmail.com Music by &lt;a href="https://pixabay.com/users/music_unlimited-27600023/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=music&amp;utm_content=112360"&gt;Music Unlimited&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=music&amp;utm_content=112360"&gt;Pixabay&lt;/a&gt;
