Like every year of my life, 2025 has been amazing and challenging in equal measure. Once again, the past year has taught me some important things about the life I want, and how to be my happiest self, while also reminding me of lots of things I am ready to let go of.

What I’m leaving behind in 2025…

Being stressed all the time!
The last 5-10 years of my life have been unavoidably high in stress, in many ways but, starting the year burnt out made me re-evaluate all the additional sources of stress I pile on myself. I have finally learnt to let these go and live, work and love, according to what works best for me.

The news and politics.
I feel things deeply and find the weight of the worlds' suffering too much to carry around these days. When it comes to things I have no control over, I consciously tune out to protect my limited resources, for when there is some way I can have a positive impact.

Chasing redundant life goals.
We carry the idea of the perfect life, home, job or salary with us for decades, without thinking twice about whether this is what we really want today. Striving for old goals makes us miserable, and also means you don’t stop to notice and appreciate everything we’ve already achieved!

What I’m taking with me in 2026…

Putting my health first.
Don't get me wrong, I still don't get it right everyday but I know that prioritising health and happiness over profits, other people's opinions and unrealistic expectations, allows me to show up for you and myself in the best way possible.

Joy!
This year, I have managed to find the balance between work, life, rest and play so, I now only invest my energy in the things I know will nourish me and allow me to wake up happy, energised and excited for what lies ahead.

My HRT - lol - no seriously!
Early onset perimenopausal made me consider ending my life, my relationship and quit the career I love. It’s serious and you do not have to suffer!

Love to all this January - hunker down, get cosy and reconnect with yourself and how you want 2026 to work for you.

Here are my tips to cope with Christmas overwhelm 🎄

1. It’s OK to say no! Despite the pressure to be busy everyday in the festive period and see everyone you know, NDs and Chronic illness warriors need a lot of down time to process and recover from spending time with others. Add-in the sensory overload and unpredictability of the season and it’s a recipe for meltdowns, PEM and starting 2026 burnt out! Your immediate family's health and happiness should come first at this time of year so, do what’s right for you and the kiddos and plan plenty of quiet time, alone at home too.

2. Create a sensory safe space EVERYWHERE you go and give yourself and the kids permission to sneak off to it, whenever needed, without having to explain themselves. Many of us really want to be social and join in at this time of year but it can quickly become too much. Take noise cancelling headphones / earplugs, an eye mask, weighted blanket and favourite teddy or stim toy, for you and the kids when visiting friends and family or going out for social events and determine a calm place that these can be set-up ready to go. This can be a spare room, quiet corner or the back of the car. Knowing there is somewhere to retreat to, and that this is OK helps ease anxiety and prevent the need for damaging excessive masking.

3. Turn down the volume on the world. This time of year is a sensory onslaught and we can quickly go from having an amazing time to feeling on the brink of a panic attack. Wearing sensory sensitivity earplugs, like “Flareaudio Calmer” or noise cancelling headphones when out helps you stay present and engaged without having to battle the background noise. A hat with a peak or glasses with tinted lenses help block out excess light when it gets too much. Be sure to wear light breathable layers rather than one or two super warm items so you can quickly adjust to different environments and make sure hats, scarves gloves etc are soft, warm and not itchy or irritating materials so you aren’t distracted from enjoying yourself.

4. Be prepared! Things will go wrong no matter how many snacks, water bottles and quick exit strategies you prepare and that’s OK! Do not force yourself or your kids to stay somewhere that you aren’t enjoying or feels uncomfortable. Have a polite excuse ready or message ahead to let the host know you may have to make a rapid exit and it’s not personal, so you aren’t at the mercy of your guilt when the inevitable arises.

This time of year places so much pressure and expectation on us but it’s OK to do it your way, however that looks.

Sending love and festive joy to all xx

I’ve been where you are and I know how tough it can be to get answers.

My aim is to help you understand why it’s happening and how you can manage it.

My purpose is to help you thrive 🙌

Since my diagnosis with ADHD and Dyslexia, I’ve learnt everything there is to know about how to navigate life as a neurodivergent human and had the privilege to work with incredible ADHDers, AuDHDers, Bipolar, chronic fatigue warriors, and other divergent humans.

So much advice and support out there is not designed from our perspective and lived experience of the issues we face.

I want to change this and create a safe, supportive and helpful community just for us. So, I’m building something that’s different - on purpose!

These new online spaces are designed with your brain and body in mind, blending science, compassion, and lived experience to make connection feel easy (not overwhelming).

Whether you’re looking for group coaching, gentle accountability, or simply a place to be understood, these communities are here to help you thrive at your own pace.

More information about the groups is coming soon. Head to sophietully.com to sign up to my newsletter and be the first to know.

Is anxiety holding you back from living the life you want?

Many people struggle with anxiety, and most don't understand why it happens or how to manage it effectively.

Don't let anxiety dictate your life any longer.

In my workshop “Understanding Anxiety & How To Manage It” you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to manage your anxiety and live a life free from it’s grip.

Oriana’s attended my workshop and her testimonial is music to my ears.

You can get instant access to the “Understanding Anxiety” workshop now in the resources area of my website (link in comments).

This month is ADHD Awareness Month.

The theme for 2025 is “The Many Faces of ADHD!” and highlights that ADHD is not a one-size-fits-all condition. It can manifest differently across various people, ages, and life stages.

By sharing reliable information and personal experiences, the focus is to raise awareness and understanding of ADHD with the intention that the more people that understand it, the more stereotypes can be challenged and stigma associated with ADHD can be reduced.

Then hopefully we can strive for earlier diagnosis and more effective, tailored support.

I’ll be sharing a bit more about me and my experience with ADHD and chronic fatigue syndrome over the next few weeks, with the aim of helping others feel seen and understood.

If you are new in your ADHD journey and want some more information on what I do, head to my website - sophietully.com

Friday was . Despite hugely increased awareness and information available, we are more anxious, depressed and disconnected from each other than ever.

Like so many areas of the "Wellness" industry, information overload and mixed, often inaccurate, messages are rife, leaving many of us feeling self-care requires lengthy or expensive approaches, otherwise, we aren't doing it right.

The truth is, looking after your mental health is as simple as unfollowing an account on socials that doesn't enhance your day, choosing not to watch the news before bed, taking a break from your phone, or stepping outside and taking 10 deep breaths while you look up at the sky.

In a world as crazy as this one, finding the tiny actions and precious moments that help give you a little boost and relief to your day, is key to staying sane and finding happiness.

Like in all areas of health, what works for you is unique to you, so follow your intuition and start small. A 30s cuddle with a pet, drinking your favourite hot drink in the garden, or a quick chat with a loved one is enough to boost serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine which together help you feel calm, connected and ready to face what's next.

Sending love to everyone who is struggling right now. You are not alone xx

My goal for turning 40 was to be my healthiest & happiest self!

The first part of 2025 was spent ‘doing the work’ - revisiting and applying all of the tools, techniques and exercises I have learnt on my journey so far.

Resting, reconnecting with my authentic self, and figuring out what my non-negotiables are, so I can curate a life that fulfils my purpose and aligns with my values.

I am excited to share my process and passion for thriving with a divergent body and mind!

Turning 40, celebrating a lot and investing heavily in the business was amazing, but exhausting and, unsurprisingly, I started 2025 very burnt out.

Here’s what being so exhausted I can’t function always reminds me:

There is no way to ‘hack’ your way out of the need for rest.
When your tank is empty and your adrenals are fried, no supplement, diet or fancy gadget can save you (although many help!). The ONLY way out is to stop and recover, with proper rest.

When you stop enjoying it, stop doing it.
You have nothing to prove and you don’t owe anyone your company. If doing ‘the thing’ is not right for you, don’t do it, true friends will understand when you don’t have the social battery to join the ‘fun’.

BOUNDARIES, BOUNDARIES, BOUNDARIES!!
Figure out what yours are, communicate them to loved ones and stick to them. People will get upset and may even be mean when you assert these, but hold strong; they are what keep you connected and aligned with yourself, and help you protect your vital and limited resources.

Acceptance and support is key
Living as a neurodivergent, chronic illness warrior is challenging and disabling at times. Accepting what is in my capacity and letting go of internalised ableism is vital to health and happiness. So is finding your people, getting support and accepting help.

Looking for your people? I’ve created two new communities, built for you. One for ADHD and A(u)DHD Adults and one for Chronic Fatigue Warriors.

2024 was a wonderful whirlwind as it saw me turn 40! I took lots of time off to celebrate and indulge in me!

It also saw lots of changes in the business from becoming head of Nutritional Science @‌MindProvisions to getting certified as a Trauma informed coach.

I also rediscovered my passion for working and connecting with you fabulous humans in a group setting.

So, starting from Q4 of 2025, I’ll be running more group coaching and courses, and launching two new communities - built just for you.
