Outro

Have you been struggling to get out of bed lately, stick to your routines or noticed a shift in your mood as the days have got shorter? If your answer is yes, this episode is for you!

In this More Yourself episode, we revisit a clip from my recent workshop about Resting Through the Seasons. We discussed the impact of natural light and seasonal shifts on sleep, circadian rhythm and emotional regulation for women with ADHD. As well as exploring the small changes you can make to have a big impact.

This isn’t about quick wins or productivity hacks. It’s about understanding your body, honouring your needs, and finding rhythms that feel good to you.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!

Key Takeaways:

• How seasonal changes impact sleep, mood, and energy, especially for women with ADHD
• Why morning light is a natural “medicine” that helps regulate melatonin, mood, and motivation
• The role of circadian rhythms and how to work with your internal clock, not against it
• Why ADHD night owls may struggle more during seasonal shifts
• The influence of hormones (e.g. HRT and progesterone) on sleep quality and emotional regulation
• Tips for creating calming, gentle rituals and a sleep-friendly bedroom environment
• Why acknowledging the impact of seasonal change (without blame) is key to self-compassion
