Helping Your Future Self

This week’s episode is all about the tiny proactive habits that make life feel calmer, lighter, and a little more in control. After a fun moment singing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at a hen party — and realising a whole generation doesn’t know the full theme tune. Lisa shares how this sparked a bigger reflection on your own patterns of firefighting and last‑minute chaos in everyday life

Lisa open up about recognising ADHD traits and how easily distraction and procrastination can take over, like tidying one minute and washing the bin the next. But the heart of the episode is Lisa's shift toward small, achievable proactive habits things like keeping your vitamins next to your water so you actually take them, or prepping simple breakfasts for the week to make mornings smoother and your mind calmer.

Lisa reminds listeners that helping your “future self” doesn’t have to be big or perfect, it can be as tiny as putting the kids’ coats by the door or refilling the squash bottles ahead of time. These little wins add up, easing stress and creating more space for joy, spontaneity, and feeling like yourself again.
