ADHD Winter Wellness: Self-Care Tips for Comfort and Connection
ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast
Embracing Winter Wellness and New Resources
This chapter emphasizes the role of local bookshops in supporting community needs and the importance of sharing experiences related to winter wellness. It also introduces 'The Toolkit,' a new podcast focusing on ADHD resources through expert insights.
As winter approaches, it can be tough to stay energised, motivated and joyful.
This week, I sit down with Suzy Reading for a powerful conversation on winter self-care – especially for women with ADHD.
Suzy Reading is a psychologist, coach, author, mother of two and self-care expert. Driven by her own life experiences, she specialises in helping people manage their stress levels, emotions and energy to build resilience during challenging times.
Suzy's journey began when motherhood and her father's terminal illness combined to spark a passion for self-care that she now shares with her clients.
In this comforting episode, Suzy reminds us that winter can be a time of renewal if we approach it with intention.
She shares expert insights on managing seasonal shifts, combating isolation and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and finding gentle ways to stay energised through winter’s challenges.
Together, we explore the importance of prioritising ourselves, challenging societal pressures, and fostering a mindset of self-compassion.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools you need to reclaim winter as a season of growth and empowerment – no matter what life throws your way.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why winter brings a desire to hibernate, and how we can harness that instinct without losing momentum.
- Practical ways to boost your energy and mood during darker months.
- Tips to create comforting, uplifting home rituals to lift your spirits.
- How to redefine winter as a season for self-care, reflection and self-compassion.
Suzy is a member of the editorial board of Motherdom Magazine, psychology expert for Neom Organics, and co-founder of the Nourish app.
She's written many books on self-care, including The Self-Care Revolution, Stand Tall Like a Mountain and her latest release, Self-Care for Winter.
