Connection, safety and belonging
Your Hull
Your hull is the part of you that holds everything together: your identity, your story, your feeling of “you-ness”. When your sense of safety and belonging is cracked or thin, everything takes more effort, and the sea feels rougher than it is. Worse still, unnoticed, holes can appear and you may even start to sink and drown.
Are you longing for connection but struggle with groups? Do you feel the need to perform, mask or sacrifice yourself in order to fit in? You're not alone.
Watch my talk at the 2025 Global ADHD Conference to discover why belonging and connection are so important – yet so challenging - when you have ADHD.
I share my own journey to finding a community of belonging to explain the magic that happens when we truly belong.

Why WayPower?
I set up Positively ADHD because I believe in a different way forward.
People with ADHD have so many gifts and incredible ways of thinking which can make a huge contribution to the world. Yet so much nuance is lost in the deficit-based, medical model which sees ADHD as a list of “symptoms” that need to be “treated”.
Many of us who were late-diagnosed or have self-diagnosed, have spent our whole lives in survival mode, because we did not know that our brains and nervous systems were different. We may have spent many years believing we were broken and have probably struggled with periods of depression, anxiety and burnout.
Whilst I don’t underestimate the difficulties that ADHD can cause, I also know that when we feel creative, hopeful, and connected to our purpose, anything is possible for us and our amazing minds.
