On Inner Royalty with Jayne Leonard: Episode 42 of The Feel Better Every Day Podcast

Connect with your Inner Queen or Inner King ~ Episode 42 of The Feel Better Every Day Podcast
I’m delighted to welcome Jayne Leonard (www.vivecounselling.com) back. We’re talking about self care with ADHD and connecting with that most empowered, deserving part of ourselves in order to be of service.
You might remember Jayne from Episode 28 where she helped me reframe cooking from chore to self care.
Today, we’re diving into another self care idea from my book, 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-Care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing selfcarecoachi...
Connecting with your Inner Queen or King.
Both Jayne and I were diagnosed with ADHD in 2024 and while this conversation may be especially relatable for other late diagnosed ADHD adults, the ideas can benefit anyone.
And Half Moon (free subscribers) and Full and Super Moon members of the Sole to Soul Circle will be receiving bonus content and deeper dives on Wednesday and Thursday.

Being a democratic socialist while also appreciating my (and others’) inner sovereignty
This year, I’ve deepened my connection to my Inner Queen, which has helped me better understand and embrace how my brain works.
Connecting with my Inner Queen helps standing tall and moving towards what I want in life.
It’s not about being above anyone else but about drawing strength to be of service.
Jayne shared her connection with her ‘boss self’, inspired by her four-year-old’s natural comfort and ease in her own power.
We discussed how societal messages, particularly for women and girls, can make empowerment seem like ‘being bossy’.
Jayne highlighted the mindset shift involved in stepping into power. Whether presenting to a group
or having a client conversation, she notes how being in her empowered state changes everything.
It’s a reminder that confidence can be part of self and Self care, especially for those of us with ADHD who’ve internalised messages of being ‘too much’.
Jayne and I discussed the importance of respect, both for others and ourselves. Respect isn’t about hierarchy; it’s about recognising the inherent worth in everyone-including yourself. For those of us who felt silenced or different growing up, reclaiming our voice and self-respect is a radical act of empowerment.
