VLOG



Todays Question?
What do you do if you have TS and you are due to teach a yoga class but can't stop shouting 'Hey'.  Do you crack on and assume all will be ok?
Or do you rest because you are absolutely exhausted and feel that the participants might not feel uber chill and want their money back!??

Doodling At Work

One of my main coping mechanisms for my TS is drawing and making.  I have recently found that focusing on a task for a few minutes at a time really helps me to chill out.  It has been proven that voluntary physical activity counteracts the involuntary movement, so that when we do something consciously it cancels out the involuntary movements or sounds.  For me, I find my tics get worse when I am over working or somewhere where I need to be still and focused for a long period of time.  I have found that doodling really helps me when I am static and where I feel most anxious-places where I need to concentrate and there is no escape! A couple of months ago I was in a meeting for about 5 hours and I nearly flipped the table over because my tics were building and I could not let them out. I find that when I am drawing it frees up the space in my mind to concentrate and listen to what is going on around me, because I am not sat there thinking about trying not to tic,...

Hidden Voices- Lauren and Endometriosis

"Hidden Voices" is a blog series placing the spotlight on some incredible people that I know and love. These people are incredibly talented and creative and are building successful careers for themselves- whilst juggling a lifelong condition that is often hidden or unseen. Last year when I spoke out about my experience of Tourettes it liberated me and gave me a great opportunity. I wanted to offer the same platform to others to come out of hiding like I did.  I have interviewed 5 people I know, who all have a hidden disability. Hidden sometimes by choice and sometimes hidden because of the nature of the condition. I hope you enjoy reading these honest and eye-opening posts and that you too feel inspired to come out of hiding and share your true self! This first interview is with one of my best friends... In my eyes she is a super woman that juggles day to day challenges with her health, whilst being one of the most hard working and bad-ass chicks I know! What's yo...

Hidden Voices- Grace and Eczema

This is the third interview of my blog series 'Hidden Voices.' Hidden Voices shines a spotlight on talented local people based in and around Plymouth (and Cornwall for this interview!) This blog gives a platform for those who wish to talk about an element of their life that they keep secret or hide from society. The more I speak out about TS the more I gain understanding of it. When I speak to people or write about it,  I feel like I can be comfortable with with it, I get to know it. I can also see parallels between different conditions and the experiences can be so similar. Speaking loud and proud about my condition has given me opportunities to connect to a diverse community of people and it has given me a whole new perspective to the work I create.  Since posting and vlogging I have had a fair amount of people come to me saying that it has inspired them to ‘come out’ about something they might have been hiding. This is the inspiration behind this blog series...
