Solstice, back in the day

21/06/2026

Waking up early to see in the sunrise at the summer solstice.

Over the years I’ve pushed in this day in different ways.

I’ve danced in the sun with thousands of others and Mai at Stone Henge. We stayed up most of the night together, dancing in the stone circle (that is a core memory for me - seeing the gorgeous little soul I created dancing where I had climbed at her age).

As it came closer to dawn I stood talking to friends with her bundled up in blankets sleeping between us. As the sun started to rise the atmosphere changed and the druids came to bless the day.

I’ve swum it in with just a few friends at my local swim spot. Quietly ushering in the second half of the year.

Today I stood alone, over the road just being with the birds and the stillness. Over the hour I marvelled at how the clouds at first seemed to be utterly unmoving, like a painting. I thought how much more alive the scene was in real life and how different the colours to the photos.

I got distracted and brought myself back to the unfolding scene in front of me and was awed by the feel of coming to meet the sun rather than the other way round and how an hour can be a moment or a lifetime, depending on your presence.

Having taken mindfulness teacher training a couple of months ago I’ve been putting together my first 8 week online program. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you.

DM if you’d like to be sent a link to when it’s released.

This is me: coming back from an early morning gym session at FULLER FITNESS | Live a FULLER lifestyle followed by a networking breakfast with the legendary Gee Corcoran.

I’m doing the ‘I can carry it all at once in one hand’ trick, extra credit for carrying stuff on separate fingers 👌🤪

It got me thinking 🤔 as women, we’re often carrying so much ‘stuff’ around with us all day, every day without even considering if we need to or even if it’s ours to carry. When I say stuff I mean the mental load, the too tight deadlines, the expectations on your time, the self care you already don’t have time for, getting everyone’s birthday gifts, checking up on your bestie’s breakup, making sure the house is clean for the BBQ this weekend…the list goes on.

It might not always be a problem but if you’ve noticed you’re feeling burnt out, or at least frazzled round the edges that could be a sign that something needs to change.

That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stop doing everything (I’d never persuade you to do that anyway!)

But you can get more decisive and discerning about what you choose to carry, what gets dumped and what gets handed off to other people.

This is a hill I will die on…amongst a few. Therapy doesn’t have to last for years, it doesn’t have to feel traumatic and you don’t necessarily need to bare your soul to get results.

What you do need is a safe, compassionate and boundaried space in which to heal and explore the kind of life you actually want to live.

Free from whatever has you caught in a choke hold.

That’s where a solution focused approach comes in.

🩷 Through forward focused questions that challenge your current reality.

💛 Through psycho-education that helps you understand why you haven’t been able to fix it by yourself and how you can now

🧡 Through wellbeing tools that support you between sessions

💚 Through gentle, restorative trance that consolidates every session.

Solution focused hypnotherapy allows you to respect your past and move forward in a way that works better for you.

It’s evidence based and very successful for a wide variety of issues. Even better: most people find that just a few sessions are all it takes to achieve their goals.

If this sounds like something you’d like to explore reach out via DM or my website.

I invite you to start a conversation about a more comfortable future.

You are the whole solar system, at the heart of your universe

Autistic women often ascribe their burnout to prolonged masking and sensory strain.
Which makes perfect sense because masking requires constant monitoring of behaviour, tone, and response.
Trying to decipher meaning behind metaphor and ambiguous language all take extra focus.
The fear of getting it wrong and the frustration when you find yourself apologising yet again for misreading the situation.
Add to that sensory processing overload and you’re fast-tracking your way to
burnout.
Research recognises autistic burnout as involving deep exhaustion, reduced tolerance, and loss of capacity.
It often means you suffer more deeply and for longer.
This is the cumulative cost of continuous adjustment and accommodation for the neurotypical world.
But recover doesn’t come by rest alone, you need to find ways to protect your energy.
If you recognise this experience, support is available.
Sessions of solution focused hypnotherapy can help you find a better way to cope with the world in a way that feels sustainable and enjoyable.

Book now.

ADHD has historically been missed in girls, resulting in a wave of late diagnosed women, that often shows up in midlife.
Women with ADHD, whether diagnosed or not, commonly compensate by over preparing, over working, over thinking and micro-managing every detail.
While this can appear highly functional,
and convenient for everyone else, it increases cognitive load and fatigue on all levels.
Executive functioning differences already require extra effort. Sustained responsibility and multiple roles increase risk of burnout for women with ADHD, especially given the extra cognitive load
and hormonal impacts women often carry anyway.
If you wanted a sweet spot for burnout midlife ADHD women is it!
Burnout in this context is not about being less able to function. It highlights the vulnerabilities of ADHD brains as women reach midlife, and the effects of long-term self-management without sufficient recovery strategies or time.
The solution is more than rest, it’s nervous system recovery and finding better ways to cope with the demands you face every day.
If this pattern feels familiar, support is available.Book now.
