Mindfulness is a practice of becoming more present to the here and now. It seems to be a paradox to talk about ADHD and Mindfulness, but ADHD is full of paradoxes. Being mindful is a skill that can be practice and improved. As it is practiced throughout the day, you learn to pay attention to […]
What story are you telling yourself that isn’t supporting you to be who you truly are? I have a funny, enthusiastic, smart client who is full of shame over things she knows aren’t worth the stress and overwhelm it causes her. For example, she was telling herself that she was a disgusting person when dishes […]
School sucked. Maybe your teen feels the same way. That feeling stayed with me until college. The school was challenging and overwhelming because it was not (and is not) set up for students who have uniquely wired brains. Thankfully, I figured out what worked for me. It isn’t the same for everyone. What works for […]
If there was ever a time to repeat the school year, now is the time. My daughters were young for their grade with summer birthdays. I always thought if we ever move, I would have them repeat whatever grade they were in at the time. It never happened. I would never have done that to […]

For my clients, their environment has always been a critical factor in how they feel. Now that we are months into this new reality, our settings are even more important. My daughter, Paige, works full-time, goes to college part-time, and has loads of neurodiverse challenges, including being hyper and hypo sensitive to lights, sounds, textures, […]
As a neurodiverse coach, I often have clients who want to talk about their lack of motivation for a task or many tasks that their job requires. Or even for activities outside of work that my clients want to do. To hear their voices talk about the struggle and lack of understanding about why they […]
Words have power. Our society used to use the term work-life balance, but the term work-life harmony is taking hold now. Work-life balance gives the idea of a scale with parts of life having different weights. I also think of this idea of juggling when I think of work-life balance. Maybe you are great at […]
