Hi there,

Thank you again so much for subscribing to The Very Versatile Lemon!

I am getting ready this week for a much needed holiday, to get away from all the chaos and craziness of normal life here in Melbourne. Holidays are a great way for me to regulate to avoid overwhelm and burnout, which is so common with ADHD and autism. The freedom that an escape from reality provides me with is something that I cherish dearly, and cannot live without!

My mum has just flown out to Australia from the UK also, which has been a much needed, long-awaited event. Whilst I love having her to stay, this change in my routine can also be very overwhelming. Often I will sacrifice the things I want to do in order to accommodate others (maybe I am scared of hurting her feelings and seeming selfish), and it is my main goal during her visit to ensure that I still undertake my own special interests. Balance is the key, and something I continue to grapple with daily.

If you struggle with overwhelm, burnout, balance or changes in routine, ADHD & autism coaching is a great way to work through these challenges. Check out my website for more information on coaching packs that I offer.
