Jenni Murray

I was shocked to hear this morning that Jenni Murray had announced she is suffering from breast cancer & will be shortly starting treatment. I met her on Tuesday this week when she interviewed me, Phil Asherson & Kelly  at Womans Hour on BBC Radio 4. She was just so very nice, so professional & showed absolutely no indication of what must be an enormous worry on her mind.

Breast Cancer seems to affect so many women, those I know & have known. Fortunately most women & men (yes men do get breast cancer, i was shocked to find out that fact!) survive these days which up to date treatments. It's such an important cause which is why I walked 60k last year to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

I wish Jenni well & hope she has a speedy return back to good health.

Welcome!

Welcome to all my new readers who may have found their way here after listening to me on Radio 4 Womans Hour today.  I hope you found the piece helpful - it's good to talk about Adult ADHD, something which affects so many people & which gets so little recognition & support.  It was fun to go to the "Beeb" & see what goes on behind the scenes of radio. Jenni Murray was absolutely lovely & a joy to share conversation with. It was also lovely to meet up again with Phil Asherson & also to meet Kelly who so eloquently explained ADHD from an adult perspective.

Blog Tag - Five Things/Secrets You Didn't Know About Me, & I'm It!

There's a game of Blog Tag going around at the moment & my lovely coach Marion Ryan has tagged me, thank you SO much Marion!

The idea is that the person being tagged has to reveal 5 secrets or little known facts about themselves......& then in turn tag 5 other blogging buddies.

So here we go>>>>>>>>>>

Mind & Body

"Treat your body like a temple, not a woodshed. The mind & body work together. Your body needs to be a good support system for the mind & spirit. If you take good care of it, your body can take you wherever you want to go, with the power & strength & energy & vitality you will need to get there."

What's In a Name!

It's an important day for me, today's the day when I go back to being a Fox! It's something i've wanted to do for a while, in fact since my marriage ended six years ago. It feels natural to be back to my family name, although a bit strange! I've been madly practising my new signature - think it's perfected now after pages of testing different versions! I haven't been a Fox since I was 19 so it'll take a bit of adjusting!

The downside is

Unlocking Potential...

Talking about Adult ADHD!

I've been invited to speak on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour in a couple of weeks about coaching adults with ADHD, along with Prof Phil Asherson from The Maudsley and also an woman with ADHD.  It should be an interesting experience as I'm actually going up to the BBC studios in London (past experience has been one of their remote studios which was a very strange experience!) I noticed this excellent article  by Prof. Phil Asherson written for a BBC Horizon programme while I was searching Adult ADHD.

Apparently the recording of the programme will be available for people to listen to online for a while afterwards so I'll
