Does the idea of loving your whole self (including your ADHD brain and/or traumatised parts) feel impossible? You’re not alone. In this episode, I welcome my vegan and ADHD friend Jayne Leonard of Vive Counselling back. Our conversation includes shock that we’ve both found it easier to accept ourselves since a psychiatrist gave us permission! Even though this is our WORK. You too may be surprised at how much better your life feels when you amp up that self care, self love, self compassion and self understanding. Even by a tiny bit. It all adds up.
Thanks for listening or watching. I really appreciate it. New episodes come out every Tuesday morning (Ireland time) and if you subscribe (via your favourite podcasting app or by becoming a Half Moon member of the Sole to Soul Circle), you’ll be notified about each new episode.
This week, the Half Moon bonus has some ideas for visual and kinaesthetic ‘anchors’ to keep you focused (sorry, I know I hate that word but they really do help). And the Full Moon and Super Moon deeper dive is to help you discern between what’s right for Now You and Future You and all the other Yous…

TRANSCRIPT
maybe I don't need the reason. Maybe I just need to say, well, I am how I am regardless of whatever it is.
And I'm just gonna allow that. And I do have two small kids and I say, well, they do all these things. And I still say, oh aren't they lovely? They're great. That bit maybe wasn't great, but they're lovely. They're great. So it's trying to do that then for myself.
I love it.
