Exercise has dropped off my radar lately as I’ve lost my routine and rhythm. But, I’m not going to beat myself up. I’m busy building. I’m a Capricorn ♑️. We’re always building something! 😅.

But I’m busy building my foundations. Seeking stability and change. It’s been happening since my last Saturn return ✨.

So, it felt good but hard to get back out there yesterday. Although, I felt a desire and had a spring in my step 💪🏼.

Recently, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the paperwork, decisions, admin; I’ve had decision paralysis at times. I’m not a very decisive person at the best of times so making numerous decisions about furniture, costs, selling, houses and negotiating has felt a lot to hold.

2 failed house moves and now embarking on the 3rd have meant I’ve been in a period of transition for over a year now.

Uncertainty and letting go of control can be hard for our brains 🧠 . We want to take action to gain clarity.

We outsource validation to others’ to gain clarity which leads to more rumination 🤯.

When what we really need is to pause ⏸️ and tune into our intuition. Listen to our inner wisdom. We have all the answers inside us.

Yesterday was one of those days.

Fruitful.

I’m grateful I was able to let go of the noise and simply ‘be’. Be in my feminine energy. Allow things to flow.

Today, it’s time to step into my masculine protective, assertive energy.

It is time for action.

Being discerning and listening to our bodies to gain clarity pays dividends.

I’m living my growth through choices and learning to flip the script.

Embodied wisdom leads to transformation ✨🕊️🤍

I’ve decided to write my longer articles on Substack. It feels more wholesome and like soulful writing 🤍. Feel free to follow me on there https://substack.com/profile/185918870-nicola-holmes-adhd-coach/note/c-270960984?r=32ovx2&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

I’ve been reflecting on the lonely part of an AuDHD diagnosis that nobody tells you about after listening to an enlightening podcast by and Samantha Hiew. I’d highly recommend a listen.

Following diagnosis there’s an unraveling. An identity crisis. It can feel like you regress. Fixate. Become more ADHD or Autistic.

We can outsource our safety in order to feel anchored.

We’ve learnt to be “The Protector” and mask our intense emotions. They weren’t safe to share. They were too much to hold.

We were never taught to self-soothe. But the softness will return if we re-parent ourselves. We can get what we need from the inside, not look to others to make us feel safe.

Anchor into ourselves. Learn to regulate. Do the inner work.

We seek connection. We thrive on it so it’s tough. But being discerning we will align with others who hold our values. Have relationships based on our truth. Feel secure. Experience parallel plays. Connect with others who understand our sensory challenges.

It’s never too late to live the rest of your life being happy knowing yourself.

It’s also ok to reach out for professional support and guidance during this process.

I’m here if any of this resonates to support you navigating your journey. Link 🔗 in bio.

Everyone talks about unmasking
as if it’s a choice. But actually you don’t make a choice. It happens when your nervous system runs out of energy. You’re exhausted. Burnt out.

Suddenly, you are visible. Not hiding or camouflaged.

Friends & family don’t recognise this version of you. They say you’ve got worst since your diagnosis. You feel ashamed …

This is when it gets messy.

You feel more authentic and realise you’ve spent years being the version of you everyone wanted you to be but other people don’t recognise this new version of you. They want the ‘old’ predictable version back.

It’s liberating inside but is also g***t and loss for those around you. You also have to grieve the fake relationships, the energy wasted performing and have to hold this and be compassionate and hope those around you will understand what’s happening.

Nobody prepares you for this. You want to be loved for who you truly are. The unedited version. The ‘real’ version.

She/he deserves to be loved.
To be seen. To be accepted.

✨🕊️🤍
Feeling very grateful that all my late slots are now filled with regular clients 🙏🏻.

Available therapy/coaching sessions DAYTIME only now for children, adults, couples and supervisees.

Business is thriving and I am now working with my ideal client base.

My new service - ‘Couples Therapy/Coaching’ is proving popular.

Being in relationship can be challenging so adding neurodiversity into the mix, brings another dimension, not only for the individual but also for their partner 🤍

Self-awareness and compassion are key and working together. Nobody said this work was easy so involving an experienced neuro-affirming professional can be really beneficial.

I feel very privileged to be given the opportunity to witness the magic ✨ that can happen in the room 🤍.

🕊️🤍✨

Many women don’t find out they have ADHD until adulthood.

By then, they’ve already spent years wondering:
Why is this so hard for me?

A young girl shouldn’t have to wait that long.

You can help her be seen sooner.

We created something simple:
5 minutes a week
One small action
Real impact

If you were diagnosed later in life, this is for you.

I know in the past I’ve let my critical voice or perfectionism or fear of judgement cloud the waters and not allow my sovereign energy to flow … 🕊️🤍

I’m unique. I find it hard to conform and do not fit into a box 📦. I was supposed to live a provocative life 🌷. I have unusual energy ⚡️.

I embrace that power. I relish it. I live out loud and “fly the freak flag”. My intention is to break free. I was not designed to be normal 🌈✨.

My path is doing things differently. “Being me” is my greatest contribution on this earth. Showing up and shining as myself. Staying open to the unexpected as it’s taking me to exactly where I am supposed to be.

Today was no exception - wild swimming 🏊 in the river. It’s getting easier 6.30 am start. Less anxiety and more agile today! 👊🏼
