Changing…

We see stuff all the time about how people have made massive, transformational changes in their lives.

Social media is full of weight loss journeys and exercise videos with before and after clips. Women who ‘find themselves’ after living with anxiety, depression and misery for most of their adult lives.

We all see them, and we can’t fail to be inspired.

And if you’re not inspired then you’re probably a bit dead inside ;-) ….

I’ve watched them for years and wondered how people did it. How did they find the strength and courage that it takes to change your life for the better….

And then it happened to me.

And I genuinely think you have to be so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired that to not at least try, is the worst disservice you can do yourself.

I still struggle and some days are awful.

But I have more good days than bad. Some days, even some weeks, are absolutely AWESOME!

And when I’m having a bad day, I close my eyes and remember where I was, and who I was 2 years ago.

The summer of 2022.

I was burnt out, washed out, strung out, wrung out…. unhealthy in mind and body.

And I just didn’t want to feel like that anymore. Because somewhere deep down inside of me I knew there was an incredible woman who deserved to have an incredible life. I knew it, I believed it, and I so wanted her to have it.

So I set out to find her.

Getting my ADHD diagnosis was unequivocally one of the BEST things to happen to me. It’s up there with the birth of my kids, the solo trips around Europe, and the time I got a Mr Bump Space Hopper when I was 5 years old.

I wanted to be the best version of my Neurodivergent self. I owed it to that woman who had struggled and masked her authentic self for over half a century.

And now nearly 2 years later I can honestly say I love her.

And I’ve got so many plans for her.

In no particular order this is what she’s going to do.

• Build a business that she’s proud of, and that will keep her financially secure in her old age.

• Keep travelling to incredible places. (probably at the drop of a hat in true ADHD impulsive style.)

• Write a book.

• Start a successful travel blog and gain a 100,000 followers.

• Buy her dream house in Italy.

  I’m not a sit still kind of person. I want to keep moving, evolving, learning, and changing as I go.

  We’re here for a nano second, and we all have the chance to be who we want to be.

  You’ve just got to want it enough.

  Love Sarah x
