Some of us don’t stumble across ready-made communities.Some of us have to build them - and today’s guest knows a thing or two about that.Today I am joined by the one and only Alexis Lee – Founder of Style Me Sunday, author of 'Feeling Myself', community leader (Black Enough, Healing Myself), psychotherapist in training and apparently, the only person who could get me talking about sex without wanting to crawl under the table. We dive into it all — the stuff nobody taught us growing up. From convent school guilt, to figuring out what love really means later in life, to how shutting down the sex chat only fuels more shame. We also get into how ADHD messes with body image, self-esteem, intimacy... and basically, how it all ties back to connection and community.From setting up a spontaneous fishing community (yep, you read that right) to navigating the chaos of daily life, Alexis shares her honest take on what it actually means to live authentically.🧡 ADHD, sex, shame and why it’s so tangled up in how we see ourselves🧡 Building your own community when none of the ones out there feel right🧡 Dissociation, energy crashes and the bits of ADHD nobody claps for🧡 Breaking free from rigid rules and finding your own rhythm🧡 How the sea - and a good rant - can do wonders for your soulThis episode is for anyone who’s tired of trying to fit a mould that was never made for them, who’s craving real connection and who’s ready to own their messy, beautiful story. 🧡🎧 Listen now!Follow Alexis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stylemesunday Join Alexis FREE fishing group: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/we-are-black-fish-hook-up-tickets-1311522492079?aff=ebdsoporgprofileLet’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!

Do you have a graveyard of unfinished projects? A closet full of abandoned hobbies? If so, you're in the right placeIn this episode, we're untangling the idea of being a "professional quitter" especially within the ADHD community. Many of us carry a narrative of shame around quitting, impacting our confidence and future goals. But what if we could reframe quitting as a strength?Join me as I explore why those with ADHD often find quitting easy, delving into the role of dopamine, our interest-based nervous system and executive function challenges. I'll share my own experiences with quitting, from abandoned baby massage dolls to nine jobs in ten years…We'll unpack:🧠 Why our dopamine-driven brains crave novelty and new experiences.🧐 How overwhelm and executive function issues like goal prioritization contribute to quitting.💔 The impact of societal views and shame on our self-esteem and confidence.✨ How perfectionism and masking can lead us to quit even when we're on the path to success.💡 And most importantly — how to shift our mindset, understand when to stick and when to quit, and embrace quitting as a tool for a more fulfilling life.I'll share coaching questions to help you determine if you're quitting out of fear or intuition, and we'll explore strategies like practicing quitting and building evidence that it's not always a bad thing!Let’s stop seeing quitting as a weakness and start recognising it as a unique strength.🎧 Listen now!Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!

Have you noticed a pattern of extremes in your life? All in or all out, never just 'enough'?In this episode of our "Tangled In..." mini-series, I'm diving deep into the experience of ‘Chasing Highs’ that I know so many of us can relate to. I'm exploring my own experiences with restlessness, the pursuit of ‘more’ and that feeling of never being truly satisfied… Why do I and so many others with ADHD, often experience an intense need to chase highs? I'll break down the science behind this, including the role of dopamine, executive function challenges like working memory and time blindness, and the impact of self-belief and societal pressures.I’ll walk you through how this shows up in my own life, from the subtle to the messy. And we’ll explore:✨ Why dopamine plays such a huge role in our constant search for stimulation 🧠 What time blindness, impulsivity, and working memory have to do with it 💔 How this chase can show up in our relationships, habits, or even addiction 🔎 How self-belief (or lack of it) feeds into the cycle of always needing more 💡 And most importantly — what we can do about itI’ll also share a simple coaching tool called the “HIGH” framework to help you recognise when you're chasing something that’s not serving you — and how to shift that energy into something more aligned.Let’s stop hating ourselves for being “too much” — and start understanding the why behind our patterns.🎧 Listen now and let me know what you'd love for me to cover next!Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤ADHD COACHING IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!
