Beskrivelse

Get in touch to see how I can help you! https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/ In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet explores why our brains can feel out of control. Do you ever get stuck in negative spirals of thought? These feelings can be triggered by the environment, or by external stimulation such as the news. Our brains crave the dopamine rush that comes with being stimulated, so it can be easy to slip into these spirals. In this episode Juliet provides strategies that you can set up to help yourself. First by identifying when these thoughts are happening, and then by prompting yourself to snap out of them! HOST BIO Juliet was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 50, after a lifetime of believing she was fundamentally flawed—without realising there was a biological explanation behind her struggles. Years of executive dysfunction, perimenopause, and rising anxiety had left her overwhelmed and questioning her own potential. Her diagnosis marked a turning point. She immersed herself in understanding ADHD and, in doing so, discovered something even more transformative: a spiritual perspective on what it means to be human. Through this lens, Juliet was able to release limiting identities shaped by five decades of misunderstanding herself. She learned how to navigate emotions—like anxiety—with greater ease. She has two-years training in counselling and now has an established coaching practice supporting adults. Blending practical strategies with grounded spirituality, Juliet helps her clients find clarity, inner peace, and the confidence to live their life with purpose to reach their full potential and thrive with ADHD.

episode Addiction, Spirituality and ADHD - Breaking through Alcoholism with Hamish Niven cover

Addiction, Spirituality and ADHD - Breaking through Alcoholism with Hamish Niven

Get in touch to see how I can help you! https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/ [https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/] In this episode of Gifted with ADHD, Juliet talks with Hamish Niven, Host of The Brave Man Project podcast and thought coach. They discuss Hamish's crippling addiction, which resulted in total burnout, and his prevailing recovery and soul-searching through spirituality. Have you ever felt that ADHD is sending you into a negative spiral? This podcast will inspire you to seek help. About Hamish: Hamish Niven spent twenty-five years filming and photographing other people's lives whilst avoiding his own. Professional, reliable, creative - the man who always showed up. Yet all a performance. When addiction brought him down, he didn't find recovery. He found the man buried alive by his own competence. Provocative and deeply honest, The Brave Man Project is for men who know that behind "I'm fine," something is quietly falling apart. The strategies that build an empire are often the ones that bury the man who built it. Every conversation cuts past the story into the emotions underneath - because when another man names the feelings you've never said out loud, you realise you're not alone. If he got out, so can you. These are the conversations no one else is having with you.

Overcoming Overwhelm, Anxiety and Depression With Missy Maiorano

Get in touch to see how I can help you! ⁠https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/%E2%81%A0] In this episode of Gifted With ADHD, Juliet talks with Missy Maiorano, certified change coach, about all things overwhelm. They explore anxiety, depression and even touch on the spiritual. If you've ever suffered from an overactive mind, this episode will give you some tips into unpacking and liberating your mind. GUEST BIO: Hi! My name is Missy Maiorano and I am a Certified Change Coach with a passion for helping people who suffer with chronic or acute physical symptoms as well as issues with anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. I was drawn to coaching after a lengthy season of suffering with chronic hives and idiopathic angioedema, along with extreme anxiety, panic, and depression. Before becoming certified myself, I sought advice from more traditional therapists than I can count. Thankfully, I just sort-of “fell into” a whole new understanding of life that opened my eyes and my heart to something so much deeper. Today, I coach full-time from this deeper and MUCH lighter understanding of who we are and how Life unfolds. My work with clients and groups is more of an “unlearning” and an “uncovering.” Together, we see what is stable, timeless, and innate beneath the veils of cultural conditioning and learned concepts. The experience of Life becomes freer, lighter, and much more expansive.
