Over-committed. Over-passionate. Over-dedicated. Too loyal. Doesn’t understand when enough is enough. All in for the whole hog. Things cannot be done in halves, Only over-done. To the point of soul depletion. Not everyone operates this same way. Others have an ‘off’ button. She seems not to. ADHD will do that to you. Some people can’t stop talking. She cannot stop doing. Hypervigilant. Hyper-focussed. Efficient. Yet not always effective. Burnt out more than once in this lifetime. Holding on to too much for too long. Meltdowns. Mini explosions. Fully self aware, Yet she cannot stop the trainwreck before her eyes. Slowing down Is not easy, Not Natural, But is the key to her Soul’s Revival.

Struggling to shed the weight of who we once were is an important part of the journey. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

An exciting morning indeed at the Roe Park Hotel in Limavady with the NAHT(NI) Annual Conference in full swing! 💙💚💜 Given the conference theme this year, “For Their Future,” we couldn’t pass up the chance to share yet again the ways in which we can help you help them. We’re very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with principals and school leaders about the consultancy services Learning Me continues to offer (very limited August dates remaining!) - and to unveil our wellbeing platform, Understanding Me, with the help of the shiny new information hub on our website! 💜 It was fantastic to discuss teacher and pupil wellbeing with the other attendees- these are crucial conversations to keep having, and we're committed to supporting schools in making a positive impact. Thanks to NAHT yet again for a great day so far! #HelpingYouHelpThem #NAHTNI #UnderstandingMe #WellbeingForSchools #LearningMe @nocpsed

A brilliant day with @neu_ni_district at their Annual Conference. The theme this year was right up our street: #EvolvingEducation 🙌 We talk about this a lot in the world of AI but it’s equally important for the world of wellbeing. 💜💚 It was fantastic to hear from Prof. Noel Purdy @stranbelfast and Chris Quinn @nichildcom about Growing Up Online and from Edel McInerney and other conference guests and speakers about teacher wellbeing and workload. It’s important to keep talking about these topics and pushing for changes that support our pupils and schools. Thank you NEU for having Learning Me along and for all of the great conversations today. 💙 #PowerOfSchool #HelpingYouHelpThem #UnderstandingMe #WellbeingForSchools

Caithlan observed the skills and roles involved in our educational start-up team of 4. We were also able to avail of insights from Caithlan as a fresh pair of eyes on #UnderstandingMe, our wellbeing platform for schools.

We may not like aspects of who we are and how we respond to life and we can easily get stuck in self-criticism and self-judgments but every behaviour has a story. Every limitation or fear has a history and they DIDN’T begin with you. By addressing how you responded to life through tapping into the subconscious mind where the effects of childhood traumas, generational traumas and cultural traumas reside, traumas that are still actively influencing your life, can be the most enlightening and transformative gift you can offer yourself.. Through our Embrace Me program you get to free yourself for the experiences and generational traumas that masked you from your true essence, take a self-love journey and meet your ideal self living her ideal life. Are you ready for that? Message me if you are or check out the linktree in my bio so we can plan a free call.

What is Post Exertional Malaise #PEM? It is a worsening of symptoms after activity. Today it's made me feel sick, exhausted, dizzy, heavy, weak, and groggy. I don't even know if you can tell just by looking at me. Probably not #MECFS is an invisible illness after all! This is what #pwME have to face all the time. You can get PEM just from walking up the stairs. If we are moderate enough to be able to do something we have to save up out energy beforehand and we always know there's going to be this payback. Generally people don't see it but that doesn't help with #UnderstandingME and so here is one little insight. #Spoonies #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessAwareness #AppropriateTreatment

“Laugh to keep from crying”… truer words have never been spoken about me. I’m known for being bubbly and a jokester, but when it gets quiet and my mind starts to wonder, I go left real quick. And I immediately start to feel tears gathering 😔. This is why I don’t stop talking, I don’t stop making jokes….i need that constant communication to stay out of my own head. I miss my sister. #understandingme

💖 I created my series, 'Understanding Me,' with a simple yet powerful mission: to foster understanding, acceptance, and inclusivity for those with neurodiverse conditions. Through heartfelt storytelling and vibrant illustrations, my books aim to empower individuals to embrace their unique identities and feel comfortable in their own skin. But it doesn't stop there! I also want to educate their peers in a child-appropriate way, showing that we're not too different at all. Together, let's celebrate diversity and create a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. #UnderstandingMe #AutismAwarenessUK #SpecialNeedsParentingUK #ToddlerBooksUK #AutismBooksUK #SENBooksUK #ParentingTipsUK #AutismAcceptanceUK #ToddlerLifeUK #InclusiveParentingUK #NeurodiversityUK #SENtoddlerUK #StorytimeUK #UKBookLovers #ParentingCommunityUK #DiverseBooksUK

7 months left 🗓️ I’m so glad to see March 31st. This has been a whirlwind month of highs and lows. From speaking at the EdIS Roadshows with Adobe to cohosting a successful #InternationalWomensDay Unconference with @womened.ni - it’s been a memorable month from the start. I met some incredible people like @mairin.murray and @tinabelfast who I am looking forward to seeing again at @techfoundher I also reconnected with mentors and former teachers this month which has been very rewarding. I am always so chuffed to tell them how my brother and I are getting on now! 🥰 Two conversational highlights include a panel I hosted on inclusivity at East Belfast GAA’s Club Development Plan Launch and the #WomenInTech Roundtable #RealtimeRT. Shout out to Maeve, Marlena, Gena and Emma from @realtime_recruitment for organising such an incredibly enriching experience. Yet, amidst the achievements and highs, there have been significant challenges and hurdles this month. Difficult decisions had to be made, things had to be cancelled or rearranged and I’ve had to listen to my body telling me off for ignoring boundaries. The irony of building a wellbeing product in #UnderstandingMe whilst sacrificing my own wellbeing is not lost on me! Despite the bumps along the way, I’m grateful for the support of my growing networks. I know how lucky I am to be on the learning journey that I’m on. I’m grateful for the unwavering support of my fiancée, @aperfectlyimperfectperson who I’m now exactly seven months away from marrying - life’s about to get busier in all the best ways! 💛 Here’s to embracing the spirit of growth, with gratitude and appreciation for the highs and resilience to overcome and learn through the lows. For now, it’s time for an Easter egg and some family time! 🍫 🥚 #HappyEaster #MarchMadness #10percentBraver #TenPerCentBraver

Today's stupid thing? I fell down the stairs. Not far and I only have muscle strain and bruises. Mum's comment when I went to give her something a minute ago "You look like a ghost, go to bed!" I had a mini blackout on the second to last step and down I went! Last time that happened I ended up in hospital with, to quote my Dr, "the worst possible injury to the ankle." I've always strived to achieve! There are several factors which contributed, EDS, possibly POTs (which I still can't get tested for), anaemia, low blood volume. I've been told to get up slowly by doctors but there are times that I forget because I'm human. So it's a day of rest. Maybe a few of them. And nursing the bruises and muscle strain! #MECFS #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment #EDS #Hypermobility #POTs #Anaemia

Today was all about the little cuties of the world, Grade 1-3! Yip,they have access to THOUGHT too, it’s their really cool superpower that no one has access to but them and often the reason why we as adults can’t understand them cause it’s not something we can see… They too get confused sometimes because it’s big emotions with only words to try and explain their big feeling created by thought - it’s a lot for these little humans, even Adults can’t get this right! Best thing I have done as a parent… gotten curious with my girls to help them unpack their thoughts so they too can understand themselves. #happiness #understandingme #understandingthem #betterwayofdoinglife #superhero #superpowers

🌸 Shedding light on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME): The Facts 🧠💚 1️⃣ Commonly Known: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). It is a complex and debilitating illness that affects millions of people worldwide. 2️⃣ Recognised as Neurological: Since the 1960s, esteemed organizations like the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) have recognized ME as a neurological condition. This acknowledgment helps to raise awareness and promote research. 3️⃣ Multisystem Disease: ME is a multisystem disease, meaning it can affect various parts of the body. It can lead to profound fatigue, cognitive impairment, pain, and a range of other symptoms. It's important to understand that ME is not just "feeling tired" but a complex illness with significant impact. 4️⃣ Life-Changing Impact: ME can be life-altering, limiting daily activities and even vital functions. It affects individuals differently, with varying levels of severity. It's crucial to recognize the challenges faced by those living with ME and offer support and understanding. 5️⃣ Battling Stigma: Unfortunately, ME has been stigmatized as a "lazy person's disease," perpetuating misconceptions. In reality, many ME sufferers were overworked or leading active lives before the onset of the illness. Let's challenge these stereotypes and promote empathy and awareness. 💚💪💙 #MEAwareness #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #InvisibleIllness #NeurologicalCondition #MultisystemDisease #LifeChangingImpact #BreakingTheStigma #SupportAndEmpower #MEWarrior #ChronicIllnessJourney #EmpathyMatters #RaisingAwareness #UnderstandingME

I met a friend for a coffee! OK, a hot chocolate which was delicious! Sadly no cake as I'm still not allowed any solids. She has recently been diagnosed with #ME as well and it was wonderful for us both to see each other! We don't have to explain ourselves when we need to go home, we understand. It would be nice if others did as well but I'm really hoping with more people talking about their experiences we'll raise awareness of this illness. #MECFS #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment

I have good news! I managed to put my jaw in when it dislocated. My dentist was amazing. He also said it would take around 2 weeks to recover. I'm really glad he said that because I am SO hard on myself. I'm always pushing myself and want to prove to people that I'm trying my hardest to do things. But I am going to be in pain for a while because this was pretty bad. I can feel all of the muscles of my head have been affected. I can see my face is a bit swollen. I don't have to pretend I'm OK because a medical professional has said I'm not and I won't be for a couple of weeks. So I'm going to rest. I'm going to have smoothies and milkshakes. I'm going to enjoy some gentle tv and not be hard on myself for not being productive. I'm going to rest because my body needs time to recover. #EDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Hypermobility #MECFS #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment

What kind of idiot subluxes their jaw eating soup? Oh yes that's right, it's me! 😂 A subluxation is a partial dislocation. It took me over an hour to get it back in place and I'm hoping to speak to my dentist tomorrow. Although ME is my "main" illness, the one that I feel affects me most, I also have hEDS also known as hypermobility. My collagen doesn't form properly and it makes my joints a little more prone to popping out of their sockets. #EDS #hEDS #HypermobilitySyndrome #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #MECFS #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment

Most people go to have a massage to relax right? I've just had my first massage of the year and screamed in pain for an hour! It's OK I've known my massage therapist for years and they do a lot of work with patients with chronic illness. Before lockdown I had massages every 2 weeks. It was one of my coping strategies. But that all changed when lockdown happened and I've never really got back on a regular schedule. I've been in so much pain this last week that I've had one today. Today isn't going to be much fun as all of the rubbish is removed from my system. Patients with ME produce up to x50 more lactic acid than a healthy person with a sedentary lifestyle. For some reason when my feet were being done it felt like knives were being shoved in. I was told my skin feels a bit thin and my reply is I certainly haven't worn it out! I've never had this before. I hate it when new symptoms crop up, they can be so scary.

🔔 Episode 9 is here! I really enjoyed getting back to podcasting again and reconnecting with the mindset matters series, because, well, it matters! This one is perfect for both exaggeration and simplification. Sometimes when we’re annoyed, stressed or overwhelmed we find ourselves magnifying events, contexts and conversations. On the other hand, when complimented or accomplishing something we often find ourselves playing down and playing small. Neither is healthy and both are tackled in this ep. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Are you awesome at magnifying or are you particularly spectacular when it comes to minimising? Or maybe you’re a pro at both 😉 #cognitive #cognitivedistortions #mindset #mindsetmatters #psychology #therapy #cbt #understandingme #coach #podcast #wellbeing #mentalhealth #mentalclarity #twenties #twenty #thirties #thirty

I am emotionally exhausted. Last week with the Dragons Den ear seed thing was really hard. Yes, I had people messaging and asking if I had seen it. I know it camd from a place of love and care but it just minimises everything that I've experienced over the last 2 decades. I have spent thousands and tried so many different therapies. A Dutch girl called Lauren who suffered from ME also went through with euthanasia on Saturday. This had to be signed off by drs so it's clear that she was suffering enormously. Then I found out a childhood friend had passed away which came as a huge shock. We weren't friends as adults but I was happy to see how well she was doing in life. My heart aches for her children. And today I found out an online friend who also has ME has passed away which had come as another shock. It's a lot to process emotionally. My thoughts are with the loved ones of the three people who have passed away and I'm sad they're no longer with us. #MECFS #NotJustTiredness #ReMEmberLauren #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment

Give it up for the Year 13s from @strangford_integrated_college who ignited the spirit of innovation on our #GenerationInnovation Impact Day! 🚀 Deep gratitude to the @generationinnovation_ni team @catalystni for being phenomenal partners on this day. 🙌 Together, we delved into the world of design thinking, honing skills in teamwork, communication, creativity and the art of entrepreneurship. 💡 As the sponsor company, we set pupils a Grand Challenge to solve for our wellbeing platform for schools, #UnderstandingMe 💜They collaborated, ideated, innovated and finally pitched a solution for us to judge. We channelled @peterjonescbe and @deborahmeaden as we deliberated over the winning pitch and considered how they empathised with the user, articulated the problem, answered the pain points and presented their idea. The pitch qualities were so impressive - we’ve picked up some tips from a couple of groups! The day closed with a #SeeItBeIt showcase, where we, along with Stephanie @farmingcarbon shared insights into our journeys and answered some burning questions from the Year 13 pupils about running your own business. 🤔 We would highly recommend the GI programmes for post-primary schools! The team behind these programmes are so skilled at keeping it fun and relatable for the pupils and the entire experience is so worthwhile for understanding the skills companies are looking for in future employees. A must for any career or business studies teacher! Have you heard about the GI Work Experience Programme? It’ll take place in June at 3 different locations across NI for a week-long design thinking experience with some of NI’s leading companies! Applications open soon over at https://www.generationinnovation.co/ so share this with your pupils (age 17-18). You never know who might seize this as an opportunity to shape their own entrepreneurial path or impress a local employer offering job opportunities, apprenticeships etc. We honestly wish we had this chance when we were at school! At Learning Me, we are on a mission to help you help your pupils for the future that awaits them. #TheFutureClub #FutureEntrepreneurs #GivingBack #PowerOfSchool #UnderstandingMe

Besides meeting new friends, one of the best parts of podcasting has been being introduced to new resources! @rachel.d.baker recently told me about the book, “You’re Already Amazing” by @holleygerth . I started with Holley’s book “You’re Made For a God-Sized Dream” and am now circling back to “You’re Already Amazing”. Both are helping me draw together the puzzle pieces of my life. If you are looking for a book to kick off the new year, I highly recommend these. ❤️ #readingchallenge #womenoffaith #understandingme #whogodmademetobe #embraceyourpurpose

I've been really pleased with how well I've been doing this year. OK I've only actually put proper clothes on once but I have been changing into daytime pjs! Last night I didn't sleep quite so well and I'm fighting to keep my eyes open 😂 I've already had a two hour nap and a one hour rest! Hopefully tonight I'll sleep a little better 🤞🏻 #MECFS #PWME #Spoonies #LongCovid #DisabilityAwareness #MillionsMissing #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MyalgicEncephalomyeltitisAwareness #MyalgicEncephalomyelitisWarrior #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #ChronicIllnessAwareness #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Awareness #Understanding #UnderstandingME #AppropriateTreatment

🌈 Embracing Martin Luther King Day in Our Classrooms! 🌟 Ahead of MLKDay tomorrow we are recognising the profound legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. in our primary school classrooms! 📚✨ Turn his vision into action by fostering inclusivity and wellbeing in our learning environments. 🏫💙 Why Inclusivity Matters: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Create classrooms that radiate love, understanding, and acceptance—inspired by the wise words of Dr. King! 💚🌍 Inclusive Classroom Initiatives: 📖 Diverse Storytelling: Dive into literature that celebrates various cultures and perspectives, building empathy and understanding. 💜 Kind Acts of Service: Provide time for pupils to give back to the school community through simple acts of service such as litter picking and cleaning toys. 🤝 Empathy Workshops: Foster a deep understanding of others' experiences through empathy-building activities such as role playing! Transform classrooms into reflections of Dr King's dream—spaces where every child feels seen, valued and empowered to thrive! 🌈💪 At Learning Me, we are on a mission to help you help your pupils for the future that awaits them. #PowerOfSchool #UnderstandingMe #InclusiveEducation #MLKDay #MLKDay2024 #SchoolWellbeing
