  • Why ADHD is a Winning Edge with Jo-Anne Kelleher

    Why ADHD is a Winning Edge with Jo-Anne Kelleher
    Jul 9 2025
    Today, Wendy is joined by Jo-Anne Kelleher, a Sports and High-Performance Psychologist who helps ambitious ADHD minds unlock elite level success. As a child, Anne struggled badly at school, she was told she'd never do anything because her English was so bad. Anne shares how she realised she had ADHD, needed to learn differently and when she did that became a successful entrepreneur. She shared dozens of tips that anyone with ADHD can use to immediately improve their performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS People with ADHD suffer more from self-doubt and rejection sensitivity. But with momentum, confidence grows. Quick wins are more important for people with ADHD. Energy levels fluctuate, so getting ahead helps. Use voice notes. When something upsets you, pause, regulate, reconnect, re-engage and reflect later. ADHD sufferers are resilient and driven, which makes them good problem solvers. Jo-Anne explains how she stops herself from flitting from one thing to another. Paralysis by analysis can be overcome. Tackle your ADHD tax. BEST MOMENTS “ADHD shouldn´t be holding you back. You can use it as your strength.” “When I changed my mindset about how I learn and learnt in my own way, I built a business on my terms.” “We haven’t got a deficit we´ve got a difference.” “Entrepreneurs with ADHD have the vision that many others don´t.” ABOUT THE GUEST Jo-Anne is a Sport and High-Performance Psychologist who helps ambitious ADHD minds unlock elite level success without burning out or losing themselves in the process. She works with athletes, entrepreneurs, professionals and students to turn ADHD from a constant battle into a competitive advantage. As the founder of Key Aspirations Success, Jo combines clinical ADHD expertise with lived experience, delivering powerful mindset strategies that work with the ADHD brain, not against it. Her signature framework helps high performers regulate their emotions, build sustainable habits and stay focused under pressure. Jo's mission is simple: to help ADHD individuals stop doubting themselves and start leading in their sport, business or career with confidence. Whether it's reaching the Premier League, building a bold personal brand, or smashing academic goals, she's here to prove that ADHD isn't a weakness, it's a winning edge.

  • Getting Honest About What it Means to Be a Modern Woman

    Getting Honest About What it Means to Be a Modern Woman
    Jul 2 2025
    In this episode, Wendy gets honest about what it means to be a modern woman in today's world. Can we really have it all despite having to walk the tightrope of life. A life that sees most women trying to balance the competing demands of children, their partner, elderly family members, work and society's expectations of them. Wendy looks at the negative effect this has on women´s physical, emotional and mental health. Before sharing more than a dozen ways to better manage and cope with the demands that modern life puts on women. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Many women just have too many people to take care of to be able to always keep things in balance and find time for themselves. • Being overstretched leads to snappiness. • Feeling constantly guilty because they can´t do it all is very common. • Guilt leads to not feeling good enough. • Being constantly under stress leads to not being able to breathe, feeling deeply unhappy and exhausted. • Not having time means no time to spend talking through your emotions, which makes things even worse. • Treating yourself to something extra nice to eat or drink is a way to unwind a bit. But it is important to choose a healthy option. • Writing down how you are feeling is a highly effective way of venting. • Regularly enjoy things that give you a little lift or make you smile e.g. Nice perfume, family photos. • Accept that your best is good enough. • Stay in the moment, really notice how good that piece of fruit tastes, watch that film. • Learn to say no. Use Wendy´s clever tips to help you do this. • Share the burden when you can e.g. Share childcare. • Negotiate strong boundaries. • Several times a day take 5 or 10 minutes out to relax or do something nice for yourself. BEST MOMENTS “I walk a tightrope of work and life balance myself every single day.” “Beneath that veneer is burnout, overwhelm, guilt and emotional exhaustion.” “We think we have to help them with their problems. Because we're trying to be perfect all the time we don't have any place to vent our emotions.” "Learn to be your own best friend." “Keep that self-compassion going.” "Really savour the moment." "Try to negotiate some flexible working."

  • Why So Many Young People Are Currently Suffering From Burnout

    Why So Many Young People Are Currently Suffering From Burnout
    Jun 25 2025
    In this episode, Wendy takes a look at burnout, in particular at how it is impacting the young. She clarifies what burnout is, how to identify it, and what research tells us about why it is becoming more prevalent amongst the young. Importantly, Wendy shares 20 simple to implement but powerful techniques anyone can use to recognise the early signs of burnout, get ahead of it and keep themselves free of burnout no matter what is going on in their life. Wendy packs a lot of helpful information into this episode but shares even more advice in her free 36-page e-book - 12 Top Tips to Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Low Self-Esteem. You can download it by going to https://wendycastelino.com and filling out the very short form. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are burned out, you feel emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted and sleep does not fix it. A recent mental health study shows that modern life is putting extra pressure on the young, which makes them more vulnerable to burnout. Fight overwhelm by breaking tasks into smaller steps. Learn and practice ACT techniques – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Challenge any unhelpful thoughts you have e.g. I am not good enough. Treat rest as if it were an important meeting. Schedule down time and take it. Use mindfulness. Practice self-kindness. Be clear about what is important to you and take steps to include that in your life. Protect your energy, learn to say no and not over commit. Practicing gratitude trains your brain to notice more of the good things in life. BEST MOMENTS “Burnout is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress.” “It´s simply not just feeling tired after a long day. It´s a kind of tired that sleep doesn´t fix.” “Small wins can really add up and reduce the feeling of overwhelm.” “Replace negative thoughts with something that is a bit more realistic, a bit more balanced.” “Connect with your values, ask yourself what really matters to me?” “Movement really helps to move stuck emotions.” “Just sharing how you are feeling is healing.” “Don´t underestimate joy as a therapy.” EPISODE RESOURCES Mental Health UK report - https://mentalhealth-uk.org/blog/burnout-report-2025-reveals-generational-divide-in-levels-of-stress-and-work-absence VALUABLE RESOURCES www.wendycastelino.com https://www.instagram.com/wendycastelino https://www.youtube.com/@wendycastelino798 https://twitter.com/WendyCastelino ABOUT THE HOST Wendy Castelino has been working as a psychotherapist for over thirty-five years.
