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

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-O5gwe also talk about the bees, camping and Bruce gatecrashes for a little minuet tooThere's also a little challenge in there for you to do so are you going to take me up on it....

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 trueI really enjoyed recoding this this episode, I hope you enjoy listening to it too

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

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!

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!

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.
