Hey there Reader,

Almost a quarter of the way through 2026, and I genuinely don’t know where the time went.

If you know where January and February disappeared to, please send them back. I have questions...

But honestly?

The speed of this year is part of why I wanted to write to you today. Because it’s so easy to just keep moving, keep doing, and never pause long enough to actually check in.

Are you working in alignment with what matters to you?

Or are you just trying to keep your head above water and hoping the pace slows down at some point?

Wherever you are with that, I see you.

When I look at my Q1 on paper, it looks like a strong start.

I became a proud ambassador for ADHD UK.

I’m now listed as a speaker with the Speakers Collective, and I have a call coming up to be listed with Inspirational Speakers too, another of the most respected agencies out there so wish me luck!

I’ve been invited into some genuinely brilliant opportunities to contribute in my field, and I am celebrating all of that.

AND.

The Curious Minds Collective — the community I am so proud of building — has not grown the way I hoped it would.

That’s been hard to sit with.

I’m sharing this because I know some of you will recognise this feeling instantly.

You’re an overachiever.

A fast learner.

Someone who is used to being good at things quickly.

And when something you care about deeply isn’t going the way you want it to, it doesn’t just feel like a setback — it feels like a verdict on you as a person.

That’s where I’ve been.

As a recovering perfectionist, I’ve had to do a lot of work this quarter to separate what I do from who I am.

And part of that work is being honest — not in a trauma-dump, no-filter kind of way, but in the way that models what it actually looks like to be a neurodivergent person navigating real life.

Messy parts included.

What I’ve come to see is that I’ve been pouring so much into other areas of my work that the community has had less of my attention than it deserves.

And the people in it deserve so much more than that.

So this is me taking accountability for that — out loud, to you — because that’s how I actually change things.

Q2 is going to look different.

My masterclasses are coming back, and I cannot wait to share more details with you soon.

I’ll be continuing to delve into the things that keep coming up for you — boundaries, overwhelm, beliefs, RSD — because they clearly matter, and they keep coming up for a reason.

Curious Minds is getting the energy it deserves.

Watch this space.

If any part of this meant anything to you — the reflection, the discomfort of sitting with things that haven’t gone to plan, the permission to celebrate and grieve in the same breath — I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

Reply and tell me what you’re carrying into Q2, and what you’re leaving behind.

Spring is here. New quarter. Let’s go.

Best and brightest love.
