Guilt isn't proof you've done anything wrong. It's a sign you're believing your inner critic. Here are the three places she hides it.

Ever feel like there’s a persistent, critical voice in your head constantly pointing out where you’ve fallen short? If you’ve spent years navigating diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD, it’s all too easy to internalise that chatter, mistakenly believing that struggles with executive function mean you’re unintelligent, incapable, or somehow broken. In the latest episode of Gifted with ADHD, host Juliet sits down with Certified Change Coach Lindsey Elliott to unpack the mechanics of

If you are someone who has spent years working on yourself, reading numerous books, always got a course on the go, trying all the techniques, there can be a subtle thought running underneath all of it. Something like: there is something wrong with me that I need to fix. It kind of makes sense.

There’s a voice in your head that you’ve been listening to for most of your life. Some people call it the inner critic. Some call it negative self-talk.

It seems pretty universal that we have some flavour of not-good-enough running through our minds, but what if we don't have to take this so seriously, as it has NOTHING to do with who we are? Rob asks me a question about low self-esteem and how he has struggled with this his whole life. Listen in as I talk through a helpful metaphor, (that's why I'm pointing to the cup!) to explain where the experience of low self-esteem comes from, and how it hasn't got anything to do with w

Sally has sent in a great question that is one something I share with all my clients. She asks: " I've heard lots of people say that there isn't anything 'wrong' with us, there isn't anything to 'fix' and that we are always OK. Whilst I love the idea that this is true, I struggle to believe this when I can't stop binge eating. I know it's detrimental to my health and wellbeing. How can this not need to be fixed?" Listen in to hear my reply, and see my lovely diagram :)

Like all of life, we humans are a paradox. We are both human (with a physical body, senses, thoughts, beliefs, emotions), as well as...
