"What I thought was laziness or being disorganised was actually just ADHD showing up in ways I didn’t recognise."... if that resonates, here's what you can do about it.

Tomorrow evening, I am hosting a Guest Expert session inside Charlotte Perrott’s Canine Marketing Support membership.

The focus for this session is - Breaking through visibility barriers: A behaviour change approach to marketing your Pet Business because 👇

You can have the best content plan in the world… and still not post.
You can know exactly what you want to share… and still stay quiet.
You can have all the templates and ideas - and still find yourself stuck, unable to post as often as you want to (or feel you should be).

It’s not just about strategy.

There’s a whole behavioural and emotional layer at play: your energy levels, your current capacity, your circumstances, your inner thoughts, fear and past experiences.

Let’s be honest - ideas alone aren’t the problem anymore

The barriers are often much more personal, quieter and less obvious; they're the beliefs running in the background - the ones you rarely say out loud, but feel every time you try to post.

Things like
Worrying about sounding too professional or not professional enough
Worrying about what other people are thinking
Feeling like if you can’t do it perfectly, or consistently you might as well not do it at all

But also practically, how do you squeeze it in whilst juggling client sessions, reports, driving between sessions and having a whole life outside of your business. Especially when you’re juggling all of that and dealing with the part of you that wants every post to be perfect.

I am really looking forward to this session, not because I've cracked it perfectly (that’s the whole point) but because when I do fall behind on content I have strategies to come back to.

This is one of many important conversations that need to be had about running businesses in a world full of noise, pressure, and unrealistic expectations about how we should be doing things in business.

Debt whether it’s a mortgage, credit card balance, or student loan has a unique power over our lives. It can feel like an invisible weight, constantly hanging over us, reminding us of our obligatio…

This week, I watched a television drama depicting the harrowing story of a young boy who commits a shocking act of violence. The production was compelling well-acted, emotionally intense, and designed to keep viewers glued to the screen. But while it makes for powerful television, it’s not a Rosetta Stone for understanding male violence. The story it tells a child with no prior behavioural issues committing a sudden and brutal act is an outlier, not a basis for evidence-based prevention or policy....

Work isn’t just about a pay check it’s about purpose, contribution, and recognition. When you pour your time, energy, and skills into a job, you naturally hope to feel valued for it. But what happens when you don’t? Feeling undervalued or unappreciated at work is one of the most soul-draining stressors in the modern workplace. It’s like shouting into the void no acknowledgment, no appreciation, no sense that what you do truly matters....

Stress at work doesn’t always come from tight deadlines or heavy workloads sometimes, the biggest burden is the people you work with. Conflict with colleagues or a difficult boss can turn a dream job into a daily nightmare. When relationships at work become tense, it affects everything—your focus, motivation, and even your health. You find yourself replaying arguments in your head, dreading the next interaction, and carrying that tension home with you....

In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable world, job insecurity has become one of the biggest sources of stress. The fear of being laid off, downsized, or replaced by technology keeps millions of people awake at night. It’s not just about losing a paycheck—it’s about losing stability, identity, and a sense of control over your future. Even when your job is safe, the constant whispers of “what if?” can be enough to trigger anxiety....

Work it’s where we spend most of our waking hours, chasing deadlines, managing expectations, and balancing an ever-growing to-do list. For many, career stress feels like an inescapable weight, a constant pressure that follows you home, lingers in your mind at night, and even creeps into your weekends. But where does this stress come from? Is it the workload itself? The pressure to succeed?...

Join us through the month of April and let’s explore Stress Stress. It’s the silent predator lurking in the background of modern life, always waiting to pounce. It’s the email that lands in your inbox at 9 PM, the unexpected bill that throws your finances off balance, the gnawing feeling that you should be doing more, achieving more, being more. We live in a state of constant tension, as if being chased by an invisible tiger—only the tiger isn’t real, and the only thing hunting us is our own biochemical response to life’s pressures....

In past generations, a bad day for a teenager might have meant not getting invited to a party or overhearing whispers in the school hallway. Today, exclusion isn’t just happening in real life it’s happening in the digital world, where the sting of being left out is amplified by screens and seen in real-time. As parents, we watch our children’s confidence crumble when a friend doesn’t like their post, when a message goes unanswered, there’s two ticks so they’ve seen it or , it’s still…...
