Show Notes
Maeve is a highly experienced yoga practitioner and founder of Ebb & Flow where she offers a range of classes in Yoga, Pilates & Forest Bathing; she hosts many workshops and retreats and she has designed a wellbeing programme especially for women called Seasonal Soul which spans the seasons of the year. Maeve had a successful career in the corporate world before she decided to follow her heart and become a leading yoga professional. We are very grateful to Maeve for sharing her experience of being identified with ADHD as this was discovered very recently and Maeve is only just processing it herself, so we really appreciate her openness. Many girls with ADHD are missed at a young age and more women are discovering they have it later in life, so it's great to open up the conversation to understand more about ADHD and the strategies to manage it. We met at one of Maeve's favourite beaches called Banna and anyone who knows Banna is aware that it is spectacular but very windy, so please bear with a few sound glitches at times, you will feel like you were with us on the beach! Everything Maeve does is with the intention of making a difference to the world and everyone she meets and she will make a difference to all of you who are listening. Hearing her talk about yoga is almost as relaxing as doing it yourself, so sit back - or rather lie back on your yoga mat, or your own little island as Maeve calls is, breathe and enjoy!
We talk about:
- Why Maeve left the corporate world
- Discovering she has ADHD in her 40's
- Strategies she has developed to help manage her ADHD
- Advice for starting your own business
- The benefits of Yoga to the body and soul
