The Recovery Room

I thought I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That promise of peace I desperately wanted for years... It wasn't what I expected. In this week's episode I share a life update, how my boundaries are working for me and what peace really looks like for me as a late identified AuDHD mum with 4 neurodivergent kiddies, a nervous system recovering from CPTSD and chronic pain I called normal. A peak behind the curtain if you will, of the realities of doing this work, even with the hardest boundaries of going no contact behind me. See you inside!
Let's connect! Below I have links to my IG, a way to enter my world and for the you who's ready to do the work - the book born of 15 years of me creating the structure for boundaries work, so you have the foundation no one gave me.

The number one response to my question box on IG when I asked "What's ONE thing you would say "no more" to?" was "No more explaining myself". In this week's episode I go into why we tend to over explain ourselves, as neurodivergent women, and what to do instead. I share how to practice reducing the urge to word vomit, that leaves you wondering "WTF was that?!" in both text messages and in conversations. See you inside.

You've been doing the work. But how do you actually know it's working? This week I'm talking about the signs your boundaries are creating real change in your life, even when your brain is too deep in it to see the progress. I cover the number one signal your boundary is working that most people mistake for a sign they got it wrong, why clearing your doom pile is the perfect metaphor for what happens when you finally shift a draining dynamic, and how you'll know you've been consistent long enough when saying no stops feeling like the end of the world. If you've ever wondered whether any of this is actually making a difference... this episode is for you.

If boundaries feel uncomfortable, you're doing it right. This week I'm getting real about the part nobody talks about:
The discomfort that comes before, during and after setting a boundary.
Why your nervous system fights you every step of the way.
Why most people backflip on their boundaries and choose the familiar over the change.
And why you, being here and listening to this, are already in the small percentage of people who are ready to do it differently.
I talk about the mask you built to survive, what happens when it starts falling apart, and why that voice pulling you back to the familiar is a lie your nervous system constructed to keep you safe not to keep you well.
I also share what I've been building behind the scenes, the workbook and our free Telegram community, The Recovery Room, for neurodivergent women who want to do this work with support, in a space that honours how their brain actually works. Links below

You’ve been told to love yourself a million times. But nobody told you that the voice talking you out of it sounds a lot like your mum’s. In this episode Gena unpacks the inherited critic: the motherline, the guilt trips, the side glances and the “it was just a joke” and why you’ve believed it for so long it started to feel like your own voice. It’s not. It never was. This episode is your permission slip to stop letting it run the show.
