Episode 32: Embracing NOT Being Everyone's Cup Of Tea with Michaela Thomas

Today I'm talking to Michaela Thomas all about the journey she went on to embrace true and all-encompassing self-acceptance - and in her own words, how she has come to accept “that while she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, she IS someone’s tea party"Michaela is a Clinical Psychologist, coach, speaker, founder of the psychology practice The Thomas Connection and author of The Lasting Connection. Michaela specialises in the intersection between perfectionism and ADHD, and through her work she helps ambitious female leaders with ADHD burn bright without burning out, finding sustainable success using her Pause Purpose Play framework in group coaching, therapy and speaking. During this fascinating conversation, Michaela shares the impact that her late ADHD diagnosis had on her journey - personally, professionally and in Motherhood. She explains how her NOT knowing about her own neurodivergence had previously created all sorts of stress and chaos in her life and sense of self.But as soon as this missing piece of the puzzle was revealed she felt the freedom to drop the mask and claim FULL and unapologetic ownership over her WHOLE life and self. Michaela subsequently stands as a beacon to inspire other neurodivergent female leaders to do THEIR thing authentically, loudly and proudly as themselves and I’m sure you’ll agree that the way her contagious energy and passion radiates out of this conversation undeniably reinfoirces what a brilliant champion she must be for her lucky clients and community. GUEST INFORMATION:- Follow Michaela on Instagram HERE and LinkedIn HERE- Find out more about Michaela's psychology practice, The Thomas Connection HERE- Listen to Michaela's podcast PAUSE, PURPOSE, PLAYABOUT YOUR PODCAST HOST, TAMSIN WILLIAMSON:* Discover all the details about my brand new 1:1 signature coaching and mentorship programme for Mums, The Gateway- Get 15% / £220 off the full programme price if you sign up before 15th October 2024- Book in a FREE call today to discuss where you're at and explore whether The Gateway is the right fit for you* Follow me on Instagram HERE* Join my email community - The Parenthood Retreat HEREWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let’s throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.
