In this powerful narrative, as a coach, I invite you to explore the true meaning of choice and autonomy in your life. The message is simple but profound: the path to happiness starts with how you talk to yourself and how you take ownership of your own journey. By shifting from harsh self-criticism to blameless discernment, you can start living life your way—authentically, purposefully, and free from external expectations.
The way you navigate your unique thinking patterns is often the unseen struggle. Life can begin to fall apart when ADHD burdens become too great or the systems that helped you cope with your ADHD symptoms fall flat. This is where a trained ADHD Life Coach can partner with you to help you create access points and strategies specific to you that support thriving effectively.
You can impact your ADHD brain-wiring with the three e’s: experiences, environment and education to best set yourself up for success.
If you are looking for why choosing to interrupt stress is crucial, this one offers it. And, yes, especially when you have ADHD. ADHD and stress is a bad combination.

Self-compassion is the magic potion for deepening relationships and coping with life’s struggles. It is also one of the most challenging practices when you are stuck in the negative narrative running repeat in your head. In this article, I will explain why it is essential to strengthen self-compassion when you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and offer five practices you can employ to put a safety door in place with self-compassion practices.
It’s time you understand what’s involved in motivation so you can get sh^t done! Motivation is a brain thing. It’s time to understand what is different for the ADHD brain. For individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), feeling motivated can be a real problem. If you have ADHD, you’ve likely been painted with the L-word- “LAZY.” Or you may know someone who struggles with ADHD. Perhaps you have thought or shared with them just how lazy they are. What if it is something else and not lazy at all? What if ADHDers weren’t painted with the broad-stroked brush of Lazy?

No one told me having boundaries was part of having good self-care. I had to learn it long after wearing every hat I believed showed I was worthy. It took being exhausted and worn to start building my fortress. Having had a false sense of what having boundaries meant, I know how it feels to wear yourself so thin. To say, “no” felt like a failure. It took learning that boundaries were a part of my self-care to be truly whole. My choice to be healthy with boundaries didn’t make me less than.
My journey has led me to help others find and form their own healthy boundaries. Often this occurs through deepening awareness and discovering yourself. Coaching provides a safe platform for this discovery. Boundary work is healthy, normal, and necessary!
