I'm barely into the Blueprint and have already gotten a wonderful nugget: "The skill we are training is not perfection. It is coming back." I need to write this down so I can see it every day!

Hi everyone👋 Im based in the UK and Im doing my Masters in Creative Practice, and Im loving the challenge but also drowning in it. Overwhelm and imposter syndrome are both taking their toll. I've not had a formal diagnosis, but I really don't need one. My son is Autistic with ADHD, my husband is ADHD, and I am without a doubt, ADHD, though I have been treated with antidepressants for the last 40 years of my life. I'm not depressed, just ADHD. I read so much when my son was diagnosed, some of it rang true for me too, but I just thought I was projecting. There wasn't, and still isnt, a lot out there about women with ADHD, and how the issues are similar but different. As time has progressed I have realised that I fit into the niche of ADHD female, and it made my life make sense, but not easier. I am 60 this year, this is me taking my life back, and becoming a whole person. Its taken a lot of sacrifice to get here, so many missed opportunities, but I'm nearly 60 not nearly dead, so its worth a shot. It cant make the situation worse than it currently is, though I accept that change will probably bring uncertainty. I'm hoping this can be limited by having a community alongside me who is going through the same process, and that we can prop each other up if need be. I can't wait for this to start, I look forward to sharing the journey with you. Kate

I completed all 5 sections of the Awakening Assessment. The biggest realization? I can coach my friends through their hardest problems but freeze when it comes to my own life. I've been telling other women to "advocate for themselves" while waiting for my own life to get "better" before I start living it. Ready to start living now...

Just got my belief reframe started and realized the "sad voice" in my head telling me "nothing really does" change things is contradicting itself. In the same assessment, I described exactly what makes me follow through. Turns out I'm not broken at consistency. I've been listening to a story that's older than the evidence. Not sure about this analysis, my ability to follow through overall seems to be diminishing regardless of the small wins I create occasionally

This morning was GREAT! Woke up early! Able to sit on Clifford, my big red chair and just think about my morning. Stretched, showered (with a cold burst), brushed my teeth, washed my face and applied lotion, did my makeup, and hair AT HOME!!! I didnt know people even did those things at home. I thought they were all ment for the car (well except the shower). Got my lunch ready and still out the door 9 min early.
