ADVICE

Pause First: Map Your Current Season

Stop and take stock before making big changes; clarify what you have lost and what’s good now.
Use that clear starting point as your GPS before deciding your next steps.

ADVICE

Use Self-Data To Guide Decisions

Identify your strengths, limiting behaviours, and values to inform better decisions.
Then use that self-data to decide what to say yes and no to over the next season.

INSIGHT

Strengths Help Shift Limiting Beliefs

Knowing your strengths helps you design ways to compensate for what you find hard.
Hannah Miller compares intrusive limiting thoughts to birds you can stop from nesting, not stop landing.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “finding your purpose, make some time for a walk or coffee and get your headphones in!

In this week's episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Hannah Miller: author of The Purpose Pursuit™ book, speaker, accredited coach, and founder of Sidekick, an organisation built to help people understand their strengths and pursue purpose in a grounded, authentic way.

Together, we explore what purpose really means: tuning into the moments that make you feel alive, aligned, and like yourself again, rather than chasing a perfect life plan or making pressure-filled decisions

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or are in a season of reinvention, Hannah’s insights offer a compassionate and practical guide for uncovering what matters to you, and how to move forward with clarity and self-trust.
