🫶🏼🧡🙏🏼 if this helps just one person to ask for help, talk about how they are feeling or just feel it’s ok to reach out in a tiny way that may save their life & prevent those around them a lifetime of suffering, it’s been worth sharing 🧡

never be afraid to ask for help. 🩵💜

Powerful info! Something to be very aware of if you’re in education but let’s be honest…something to be aware of for all of society!

He’s so right, if this was a ‘male’ problem & men were struggling, society would be up to speed, the education system would be built around it & it would be unlawful not to support…they’d probably also have a cure for it too 🤪

National Grief Awareness Day 🫶🏼

Whatever grief or loss emotion you're carrying, today is a day of official acknowledgement it might be hard to carry, especially alone. Some days more so, some days less so, but it’s yours not anyone else’s. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
It’s individual.

Loss can be many things, of varying degrees. It can be a person or persona, an experience or thing that was or might have been.

Grief is deeply personal 🫶🏼

Most days, when we can, we try to conceal, manage or push it aside to function each day. It’s a process that evolves as life does, it can sometimes feel stuck inside us. Grief doesn’t shrink but life can grow around it.

Please be kind, you really don’t know what someone may be grieving & you may it be seeing how it is affecting them🧡

Emotion coaching & NLP work can help in lots of ways. Reach out if you want support, you are not alone.

Being aware….leads to understanding & understanding is so powerful…it breeds self acceptance….which supports self-esteem.

It supports scaffolding to release shame & work out what helps 🫶🏼 …so you can use what works….when you remember 🤪💁🏻‍♀️

That’s why I created the Happy Care Label 🏷️
To bring you awareness, find the glimmers that you need to counteract anything that drains the sparkle & help build your support into daily life 🧡

A new school year incoming with a new season approaching, as the sun season fades bringing new starts & transitions - endings & beginnings

Reflections. Learnings. Opportunities

Mixed emotions 🫶🏼😢😊🧘🤞🥰

Whatever you’re feeling as the summer sun fades to an autumn glow, know that you can make this seasonal intersection whatever you need it to be 🍂

Summer maybe ending for now but that doesn’t mean the sunshine fades completely. Transition can be both sad & exciting. Each season brings fresh starts & endings in equal measure although some more significant than others.

For me, this time of year tends to be a reflective time of year (maybe due to me completing another trip round the sun 🌞🤪) & as the sunshine sinks lower in the sky I sit here appreciating all the seascapes, sky-scapes, nature walks, family times, connection, mindful moments & learnings that this season has brought me 🧡

With all the above I have grabbed opportunities this week to kick start my new season, some fabulous conversations about my skills & the work that I do, networking to meet & collaborate with others….determination to harness the fresh energy of new beginnings 🧡

Throughout the summer I’ve utilised my tools for my own calm & to create calm for others, so if this transition period feels hard or you’re not sure how to make this new season what you need, let’s talk! 🗣️

We can learn so much from Dolly 🧡🧡🧡

I woke up heavy and then remembered we have work to do. And that always helps me. We must take up the joyful task of being more Dolly. Being more ‘them’. Whomever it is you miss. That’s the way. Dolly threw her kindness, love and uniqueness around as though the supply was endless because it is. She made it herself.

💛🩷🕊️

My love to anyone finding this hard. It is hard. You’re finding it just as it should be. ###

This is from ‘larger than life’ in my new book The Art of Being Easily Pleased.

Autistic burnout is more than just feeling a little tired. It may also co-exist with depression or be mistaken for depression, which can make it harder to recognise and get the right support.

It often also shows the hidden cost of coping in environments that don’t meet autistic people’s needs.

If you're a parent, partner, carer or professional, it can be worrying and confusing when you can't understand what may be going on for an autistic person you support. It may look as though nothing has changed in their life. There may have been no major life event and no obvious reason why they are finding it harder to cope.

Autistic burnout may be one reason for persistent or increasing difficulties in everyday life. Burnout isn’t a behaviour problem to fix. It’s a sign that demands have exceeded capacity - and the most helpful response is more understanding, fewer demands, safer environments, and gentler support.

Read our autism advocate and consultant Helen Edgar’s blog to learn more about autistic burnout and why recovery starts with meeting autistic people’s needs. https://orlo.uk/ImmMy
