Why I'm Taking a Summer Break: Burnout, ADHD, Grief & Healing in Midlife l EP 48

What happens when you've spent months helping everyone else heal... but realise you've forgotten to heal yourself?In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm sharing why the podcast will be taking a short summer pause, why you'll hear replay episodes over the next six weeks, and what has been happening behind the scenes in my own life.From my son's emergency surgery and navigating single motherhood, to receiving my ADHD diagnosis, being referred for an autism assessment, processing the end of a 25-year relationship, and recognising that I've reached burnout—this episode is an honest conversation about choosing rest before breaking completely.If you've ever felt guilty for slowing down, struggled with people not understanding your neurodivergence, or found yourself constantly pushing through exhaustion, I hope this episode reminds you that healing isn't something we teach—it's something we have to give ourselves permission to live.This isn't goodbye. It's simply a pause before Season 4 returns with incredible conversations, practical tools, and inspiring stories to support your own midlife awakening.In this episode we discuss: Why the podcast is replaying episodes over the summer  Recognising the signs of burnout  Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood  Being referred for an autism assessment  Navigating single motherhood and emotional overwhelm  Healing after the end of a 25-year relationship  Why rest is productive  Creating a more sustainable life and business  What to expect when Season 4 launches If this episode resonated with you...Please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs permission to slow down.You can also stay connected throughout the summer: Subscribe on Substack  Join our Facebook community  Follow on Instagram and TikTok Season 4 returns 3 September at 5:00 a.m. (UK time) with brand-new conversations, expert guests, and practical tools to help you navigate your own midlife awakening.Send us Fan MailSupport the showRate the Show : RateThisPodcast.com/midlifeFacebook Community : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1717887919057641/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/the.midlife.awakening/Substack : https://themidlifeawakening.substack.com/The Awakened Community - https://themidlifeawakening.substack.com/subscribeTo submit your story to be featured on...
