My mind was like a fireworks display—bright, explosive, and constantly shifting. It wasn’t long before I was given the ADHD label, and suddenly, it felt like my quirks had a name. But knowing didn’t make it easier. Everyday things—like sitting through a class, staying organised, or even finishing a thought—felt like climbing a mountain while everyone else strolled along flat ground.

At first, I tried to fit into the mould that people expected of me. “Just focus harder,” they’d say, as if I wasn’t already trying. But no amount of pushing myself into their idea of “normal” worked—it just made me feel worse. So, I decided to do something radical: I stopped trying to fix myself and started figuring myself out instead.

I began experimenting with ways to manage the chaos. It wasn’t about erasing the parts of me that didn’t fit—it was about leaning into them, finding tools and routines that made sense for me. I discovered that running helped clear my head, saunas and ice baths grounded my energy, and even something as simple as a good fidget toy could turn a rough day into a manageable one.

And as I shared my journey, I realised I wasn’t alone. So many people out there are navigating the same struggles—feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to start. That’s why I started opening up, sharing my wins, my tools, and even my messy moments.

This isn’t just about ADHD. It’s about owning every part of who we are—the struggles, the quirks, and the strengths. I want my journey to remind others that there’s no right way to navigate life. You don’t have to fit into someone else’s box. You just have to find what works for you and own it unapologetically. That’s what I’m here for—to share what I’ve learned, help others find their anchor, and show that the things that make us different can also make us unstoppable.
