I don’t usually share this part of my life. But today matters.

Turning 50 was always going to open a new chapter, but I never saw coming, how beautiful the opening line would be.

I don’t share everything on social media. My relationship with Danny is one of those things.

But today is different...

Danny has been the steady ground beneath my feet.

He has stood beside me through late diagnosis, meltdowns, grief, and perimenopause chaos when neither of us had the manual, and we were building the plane while flying it (still ongoing).

He championed my unmasking when I was too scared to look behind it.

He loved all of me before I fully knew who I was.

He's nudged me towards the light when darkness hits, and he's carried me when I could barely carry myself.

He's believed in me so fiercely that I've questioned his sanity, all because I wasn't yet believing in myself.

He's never flinched at my direct honesty and finds it refreshing and funny.

He's never run or tried to fix me. Instead, he's shown a deep respect for where I am at, and held the space for me to grow in.

His loyalty is solid, and his heart loves his people enormously.

His actions say more about the man he is than I ever could and anyone who meets Danny, would agree with me on that.

I met him at almost 42, and I didn’t know a love like this could ever exist for me.

Sleep deprived AF this morning, I responded to his proposal like he’d handed me a pair of socks, because my brain was processing it everywhere and all at once.

My heart, body and soul had already said a thousand times, "Yes!"

Besides, sometimes words just aren’t required.

Turning 50 was always going to open a new chapter for me, I just didn’t realise I’d get to write all of my remaining ones with him.

If you’re neurodivergent and/or feeling lost in perimenopause, wondering if real, steady love can existsfor you, please know that it can.

Don't ever give up on you.

“But you can’t grow if you’re not online…”

🖕🤘🖕

➡ That’s the pressure, right? That rest will cost you. If you step away, your business, community, and all your hard work vanishes.

📣 I’ve been saying this since Red Punk Social began:
F🤘ck the algorithm. My algorithm is connection.

💖 I’ve been away, sharing precious time with my Mum. 💖

My insights have tanked to laughable lows. Maybe I’ll never get all the follows, but I never built this space to serve the algorithm. It's here to honour and serve punks.

Since DAY 1 of RPS, I’ve encouraged people to take digital breaks. It helps:
🔥To prevent burnout.
💡To make space for creative flow.
🧘‍♀️ To connect and be present.

Because sometimes the growth we need happens when we're off-screens.

As an AuDHDer, my energy comes in waves. Sensory issues, executive dysfunction, time blindness, chronic health, perimenopause—it can be a lot to navigate before I even get up for the day. 😅🤘Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps me upright.

💖 I haven’t stopped caring (impossible) about you here, wondering what you've been doing or up to.

I haven’t stopped advocating (Westpac got a recent wallop), and I haven’t moved on from what Im here for.

🤘I love this punk community deeply, but social media taxes my AuDHD ar$e. If you're new here and expecting consistency… wrong camp!

A lot's also happened, BTS... I received sad news that a friend from my Brighton days passed suddenly. Emotion can be big, and I don’t know where to begin!

⬇️ So I’ll start here.
🏜 Did anything catch your eye in this Reel?
👀 Is there something you’d like me to share more on?

🖕Help me stick it to the algorithm—share this to your Stories or 💌 it to a fellow punk.🖕

➡Drop a comment or DM—tell me what you’ve been up to while I’ve been away!

⚡🎙COMING NEXT WEEK...

🤔 Is it burnout? Executive dysfunction? Or is your brain just DONE with pretending?

👉 In Ep 12, we untangle the sticky overlap of the ADHD/autistic brain, peri/menopause, and exhaustion. Do you simply need a holiday or a nap? Or could it also be ADHD adding to the effery...

Are you asking yourself: Why does midlife feel like a collapse? Why does everything suddenly feel impossible? Why can't I do the simple things in life... I could always do them before... Oh my God, WTFF is happening to me? Am I losing my mind? Am I going to get fired from my job? Is my partner going to leave me?

If you're feeling the need to send for help, you're not alone. This was us, and maybe like us, you're feeling frightened as f🤘ck, and alone.

Well, we're here to tell you...

It’s not just you. There's a brigade of us, and we're gathering. We're here to welcome you in.

It’s not laziness. It's biochemistry, and with the right support, you're going to be okay.

And no, contrary to a recent menopause doctor's claim, you didn’t suddenly “get” ADHD. It's been there your whole life, and you masked to survive.

🛋️ Here's some news...

🛋️ If you're shaming yourself for resting on the couch for a couple of hours, then it's not rest.

🎙️ In Episode 10, Sarah shares what it’s like to unlearn the pressure to always be productive in the traditional ways we've been taught — and how hard it is to sit still without self-judgement when you're wired for fast action, shame, and overcompensation.

🗣 "If you're shit-talking yourself for sitting on the couch for 2 hours, then the 2 hours haven’t been worth it if you’ve been shaming yourself."

🤔 Sound familiar?

If you’re in the thick of peri/menopausal exhaustion, ADHD paralysis, or trying to exist while constantly fighting your own brain, lean in because we've got you. No big life hacks. Just real talk from two late-diagnosed women sharing their experience while trying to figure it out too. We're with you, we ARE you.

🤘 Rest is punk AF.

📣 Believe you're worthy of it.

🎧 Episode 10 is out now: “Time Dysmorphia”

🔗 Find it on your podcast listening platform.

👉 Subscribe on your podcast platform so you don't miss an episode.

👇 Let us know:

🛋️ What’s been your hardest battle with rest? What 💩 talk do you tell yourself?

📺 Do you felt shame for doing “nothing”?

🎧 ADHD brain vs. slow-burn solutions = the ultimate mismatch.

🧘‍♀️ You meditate once and wonder why you haven't reached Nirvana after a week.
💊 You take magnesium for 3 days and expect to become a serene goddess.
💊 You try a new supplement, still feel like crap by day 5, and bin the whole thing (or totally forget it even exists)

🚫 It’s not failure.
🚫 It’s not you being lazy or crap.

🧠 It’s how your ADHD brain is wired — to seek dopamine now, not after a 3-month trial.

🔥 In Episode 7 (part two) of the ADHD PERI PUNKS podcast, we’re talk about how the long game feels unreachable, especially when your hormones are spiraling and your brain’s on a “fix it fast” loop.

👊 ADHD and Perimenopause doesn’t just drain your patience — it hijacks your capacity to trust and give over to a process.
🤘 You’re not alone. You’re not crazy. You’re just running on punk rock wiring.
