I’m Alessia May, a creative passionate about understanding the human mind and the wonders of life. ”Meant for More” is a podcast for those who feel like they’re constantly battling to find themselves, struggling with self-doubt, and unsure of how to channel their potential.
Your space to discover new ways to grow, learn, and find meaning—whether it’s through deep dives into psychology, life strategies for personal development, or simply indulging in curiosities that make you think and wonder - I share my experience and strategies for my ”high functioning” ADHD and dive into tools to help you support your neurodiverse brain.
Each episode is a step toward what I call ”compassionate expansion”. There’s no need to constantly improve yourself, just find ways to live the life you desire.✨
In this "free flow" solo episode, I talk about something I've recently realised after years of therapy (I've known it a while, but I didn't put it into words until a few days ago lol)
I'll touch on how wanting to be liked makes you lonely and what we might really need from others ✨
As always, I’d love to keep the conversation going, you can reach out to me on Instagram and subscribe on YouTube for more content.

Perfectionism and Content Creation: When Simplicity Feels Impossible
Ever had a simple content idea that spiralled out of control into endless tabs, over-research, and perfectionism?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, I dive into the all-too-familiar struggle of overcomplicating content creation.
I share my personal experience of getting tangled in research and losing sight of the original message, along with tips to avoid falling into the trap of complexity and perfectionism.
We’ll explore why sometimes “good enough” is the best choice, and how to strike the balance between depth and clarity in your content.
Tune in if you’re ready to stop overthinking and start hitting publish, I've made these suggestions ADHD friendly, so if you - like me - tend to fall down a rabbit hole and use perfectionism to either procrastinate or avoid completing something, welcome to the space.

What we got wrong about life's purpose
In this episode, I’ll start by defining what we generally mean by “life’s purpose.” Then, I’ll clear up some common misunderstandings (errors) and the danger they bring. I’ll then explain why the advice to ’find your purpose’ can be misleading.

Before You Read Another Self-Help Book
Do you ever just ”not function” like you’re (allegedly) supposed to?
Or do you not know why all your efforts are not paying off, yet you tell yourself you’re about to ”find your definite, almost certain missing piece for life to make sense and finally function normally”? Just to then feel a bunch of shame and guilt and begin to think you’re at fault for that. Just wait.
What if I told you there is nothing wrong with you, but you might not know what you are working with?
As I share two steps to living a serene, more authentic life, I’ll talk a little bit about my journey from self-help books to therapy and tools that didn’t work and the importance of understanding how you function before you take action.
Neurodiverse and neurotypical brains literally function differently, so why do we expect the same tools to work for everyone and why, despite knowing this, do we still carry so much shame when things don’t work out?
I hope throughout this messy (yet surprisingly wonderful) episode you’ll find something that resonates with you, and also a bit of validation for your experience.
Remember to be kind to yourself today. You’re doing the best you can.

The myth of one and choosing not to choose
Do you have to follow one path? Are we meant to specialise? Or is it OK to have multiple passions?
In this episode of "Meant for More," I'll share my experience and opinion on how choosing not to specialise is a decision in and of itself.
I want to remove some pressure off your shoulders and let you know it's ok not to know, and how often times, embracing multiple passions and interests can lead to a more fulfilling and dynamic life.
You only get one life, so why limit yourself?
