Prevarication is a loaded word, often associated with evasion or bad faith. But when it shows up in ADHD, it can describe something very different: the difficulty of committing under uncertainty. This blog explores why procrastination doesn’t fully explain this pattern, what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how neurodivergent people can support decision-making without shame or forced pressure.

Receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis can feel like a clear before-and-after moment - as if something has been named, lost, and reshaped all at once. Alongside relief and understanding, many people experience grief for the version of themselves they spent years building without the full picture. This piece explores what happens to your pre-diagnosis identity, why integration can feel uncomfortable, and how to reconnect the old you and the new you into something whole and honest.

For many neurodivergent music creators, the hardest part isn’t making music — it’s deciding what to release. When tracks carry emotional history, multiple versions, and years of effort, choosing one can feel risky and overwhelming. This piece explores why release decisions often trigger overload, perfectionism, and paralysis, and offers a gentler way to think about releasing music: not as a statement of everything you are, but as a single step forward.

Maybe she’s bored with it? Maybe it’s ADHD? It never occurred to me or any health professionals that my tiredness and daytime sleepiness might be a symptom of ADHD but spoiler alert it was! This blog includes some of my top tips and tools I use post diagnosis.

Goal setting is often framed as simple and motivating but for many neurodivergent people it feels vague, pressurised, and demoralising. This piece explores why traditional goal setting doesn’t work for ADHD brains and what helps instead.

Taking a break sounds simple, but for many neurodivergent people it isn’t. Breaks involve planning, transitions, and executive functioning before, during, and after the time off. If you’ve ever felt more unsettled than rested, this piece explores why breaks often go sideways - and how thinking about them in phases can make rest feel more supportive and manageable.

Systems don’t fail because you lack discipline. They fail because most are designed for neurotypical brains. This post looks at why the “perfect system” doesn’t exist and what actually works instead: low-stakes routines, containers, micro-habits, and flexible support that adapts when life and energy change.

Burnout creeps up fast in December. Extra social events, family expectations and disappearing routine can push anyone over the edge, especially if you are already running low. Here is how to spot the signs early and some simple ways to steady yourself before you crash

A practical look at how songwriting camps and creative events can better support neurodivergent artists, from communication and pacing to sensory needs, safety and group dynamics.

The real ADHD tax isn’t just late fees. It’s the subscriptions we never cancel; rebuying gear we misplace; the opportunities we miss and the overwhelm that blocks communication. Here are some gentle ways to lower the cost.

Ever found yourself skipping to the end of a book, film, or even a project- just to know how it turns out? You’re not alone. For ADHD and neurodivergent brains, that urge to skip ahead isn’t about spoiling the story; it’s about calming the nervous system. In this post, I explore why we crave closure, what it says about dopamine and curiosity, and how we can make peace with our need to know now without losing the joy of the process.

What if your confidence worked like a bank account- one you could top up by sharing what you know? In this week’s AMP Club blog, we explore how teaching others boosts learning, motivation, and self-esteem for ADHD and neurodivergent creatives.

Ever wondered what people actually use coaching for? From rediscovering identity to finishing projects and building creative balance, this post unpacks what coaching looks like for ADHD and creative minds.

Been away, off-routine, or just feeling a bit lost? Getting back on track isn’t about punishment or perfect schedules- it’s about reconnecting with what you were doing, what you wanted and how you were doing it. In this post, we explore a kinder reset using a snappy acronym ARIRA and The 5 Daily Pillars to help you rebuild balance, one small, realistic step at a time.

Got hundreds of half-finished song ideas cluttering your voice notes? This week’s post is a Song Snippet Amnesty- a gentle creative harvest for neurodivergent artists. Learn how to sort, rename, and develop your ideas in ten-minute bursts, chip away at the chaos, and make space for the gold that’s already waiting for your attention.

Many creatives struggle with routine and structure, especially those with neurodivergent brains. Drawing on her research and occupational therapy experience, the author introduces the Five Daily Pillars — Nourish, Remind, Create, Reflect, and Connect — as a flexible framework for building a balanced creative life. These pillars help manage executive-function challenges like planning, memory, and prioritisation, while supporting both wellbeing and creative output. Rather than rigid schedules or productivity hacks that rarely stick, this model offers gentle scaffolding tailored to how neurodivergent brains actually operate. Through daily attention to these pillars, creatives can recognise what they’re already achieving, adjust what’s missing, and maintain a sense of balance, connection, and momentum. The post also includes a practical example of a low-energy day, showing how small, mindful actions across the pillars keep creativity and wellbeing flowing.

October is ADHD Awareness Month- a time to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the many ways ADHD shows up in everyday life. ADHD isn’t only about distractibility or hyperactivity; it can be everything from tearing open cereal boxes with brute force to needing a “sleep entourage” just to rest. In this post I share some of the lesser-known ways ADHD shows up, plus online events and resources for ADHD musicians, writers, women, and Bristol community.

Shifting from one task to the next might sound simple, but for many of us, especially with ADHD, it can feel like hitting a brick wall. One moment you are deep in focus, the next you are late, frazzled, or stuck in that “oh no” spiral. Autumn in the UK is a seasonal reminder of transitions: colder mornings, darker evenings, and the constant need to adapt. The truth is, smooth transitions are not about hyper-productivity, they are about setting up systems and rituals that work with your brain. From avoiding calendar clutter to building micro-breaks into your day, the key is learning how to shift gears without losing momentum or yourself in the process.

What if you don’t fit neatly into the “introvert” or “extrovert” box? Enter the Otrovert – someone who connects when it feels right but doesn’t feel a constant pull to belong. For ADHD musicians, this blend of independence and freedom can be a double-edged sword: it fuels originality and genre-fluid creativity, but also risks isolation, inconsistency, and momentum dips. From selective collaborations to resisting trends, the Otrovert’s rhythm looks different – and that’s the point. With the right scaffolding, this way of being isn’t a limitation; it’s a unique pathway to music that’s authentic, fresh, and unapologetically yours.

Creativity does not flow in a straight line—it moves through phases. Psychologists call them Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification. For most people, these stages form a cycle of gathering inspiration, letting ideas simmer, experiencing the “aha!” moment, and then shaping those ideas into reality. But for ADHD brains, the cycle often looks very different: floods of ideas arrive all at once, incubation is fast-tracked or skipped, and the hardest part is usually finishing rather than starting. The good news? Understanding where the sticking points are makes it easier to build tools, habits, and support that help creativity turn into completion.
