From Addiction and Impulsivity to Becoming an ADHD Movement Mentor!

Learn more about Kate's 'Summer Live ADHD Ask-Me-Anything Programme' here.

This week, we have Rosie Turner, founder of ADHD Untangled, on the podcast, and she tells me her story, which combines addiction, impulsivity, and restlessness, to becoming a yoga instructor, lover of exercise and now a certified ADHD coach.

Rosie's journey into ADHD coaching is deeply personal. Following her late ADHD diagnosis, she embarked on a path of self-discovery, having grappled with chaos, addiction, burnout and mental health struggles.

Rosie’s big U-turn came after life-altering events led her to run the London Marathon in honour of a friend who she lost due to mental health struggles.

Rosie’s ADHD diagnosis gave her an understanding of why she was unable to find her place in the world. From then on, she made a promise to herself to spend the rest of her life doing everything she could to support those with ADHD to turn their own story of struggle into a story of strength.

On today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Rosie speak about:

• Rosie's chaotic life before her ADHD diagnosis
• How Rosie started her yoga journey
• Rosie's journey to enjoying running and movement and how this began to change her life
• The deep connection between exercise and meditation to calming her ADHD
• Rosie's addictive patterns, including how this impacted her exercise routine
• How to maintain novelty and motivation with exercise and movement
• Changing up our routines to help create motivation
• Understanding and being aware of our individual brains
• The shame we hold and letting it go to move forward with more balance and self-acceptance
• Having a deeper why for having a healthier routine to combat the challenging days
• Rosie's new ADHD coaching practice
