The MISSION MAGIC PODCAST

I know what it feels like to wake up already exhausted — to start the day with missing shoes, tears over breakfast, and that sinking thought: It shouldn’t be this hard.I’m a mum of four, grandmother of eight, with another on the way. Three of my grandchildren have ADHD and two have both Autism and ADHD. My family’s ADHD story spans decades — including my eldest daughter’s late diagnosis at 42. For years, I didn’t have the words or tools to explain the chaos. I thought it was just our 'normal'.Then I learned the truth: ADHD is a brain wiring difference, not a character flaw — and with the right strategies, support, and mindset shifts, families can move from daily firefighting to calmer, more connected relationships.As an ADHD Life Coach & Coach Instructor with the iACTCenter, former Project Manager & Resource Manager and author of The ADHD Support Handbook, I now help parents and caregivers create homes where children can thrive — and where parents feel confident and supported, not alone and overwhelmed.In this talk, FROM CHAOS TO CALM: My Mission To Help ADHD Families Thrive, I share the three patterns that keep ADHD families stuck, the small changes that make the biggest difference, and the one mindset shift that transforms everything.If you’re ready to find more peace in your home — and a path forward that works, if you are a parent, caregiver or an adult interested in understanding ADHD, this talk is for you. Please share with your network or anyone you think might be interested in understanding more about ADHD so they can learn to:• Spot the patterns that keep families stuck• Make one small intentional change• Adopt the ADHD Mindset shiftJoin the waitlist for my course starting 22/10/25 here: https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages/115699My website: https://activepersonaldevelopment.co.uk/about-me/My book, The ADHD Handbook: https://www.amazon.com/ADHD-Support-Handbook-empowering-conditions/dp/1781335796#ThrivingwithADHD #ADHD #ADHDSupport #Neurodiversity

Philippa Charrier is a property developer, author and "mum on a mission" committed to helping the next generation thrive: in body, brain, and beyond.With a background in architecture, Philippa founded FAT Properties to rethink the way we house students, through spaces intentionally created to support their wellbeing and success. Her first book, Designed for Wellbeing, explored how our built environments can either deplete or nourish mental health, and why wellbeing must be at the heart of how we design where students live and learn.But bricks and mortar were only part of the puzzle. After years of working closely with students and witnessing the rising tide of anxiety, exhaustion, and disengagement, Philippa saw the need for a new kind of intervention.Her second book, Student Thrive Mode, is a science-backed guide to taking control of your health, energy, and mindset at university. It offers simple, practical tools based on six core pillars, Mind, Breathe, Move, Fuel, Connect, and Sleep, to help students break out of survival mode and truly thrive.Today, Philippa leads the Thrive Mode Movement, working with parents, universities, and student communities to shift the conversation around mental health from crisis to prevention, and from coping to thriving.Philippa is changing the student wellbeing narrative through design, education, and disruptive truth-telling.In this session, Philippa outlines:• The real roots of the student mental health crisis – why anxiety, burnout, and disengagement are rising, and how current systems are failing to address the whole picture.• The power of prevention over prescription – exploring lifestyle-first solutions grounded in science and backed by the 6 Thrive Pillars: Mind, Breathe, Move, Fuel, Connect, and Sleep.• Why collective responsibility is the key to change – a call to action for universities, parents, landlords, medics, and students to work together to build a culture where thriving is the norm, not the exception.

The biggest block to women’s success and fulfilment is patriarchy - but not the external patriarchy of bias and misogyny. The real poison lies deep within us. We are all locked in subconscious patriarchal cages that crush our true power.In this masterclass, you will:* Discover the unseen limits that have bound women for generations - and how to liberate yourself* Discover the unexpected power drains that keep women running on empty - and how you can reclaim that power.* Restore the sacred magic of yin—and awaken the radiant feminine archetypes that make you magnetic, free, and alchemically powerful.Dr Anne Whitehouse is a scientist-turned-alchemist and pioneer in the energetics of female liberation. After earning a PhD in Metallurgy, she built a career in the male-dominated world of university engineering—until the toxic environment destroyed her health and ended her scientific career. That turning point ignited a quest to unravel the true dynamics of power.Her first book, Pull Back Your Power, birthed a new era of women’s empowerment. Her forthcoming book, Uncage!, takes this to the next level—revealing how to reclaim the ancient feminine power and magic.Her work goes far beyond conventional empowerment. She speaks to the forgotten magic of yin—the aspect of power outlawed by patriarchal. With clarity, compassion and deep insight, she guides women to break the spell of suppression and restore the sovereign power of their pre-patriarchal lineage.Anne works internationally with visionary women—leaders, creators, and change-makers—who sense they're meant for more. Her passion is helping them shatter invisible limits, reclaim their full energetic power, and rise into a new kind of sovereignty#womenempowerment #sacredfeminine #femininealchemy
