Group Coaching, also known as ‘Peer Group Coaching,’ is a coaching practice that encourages dialogue, discovery, and action within a non-judgemental, like-minded group. Sessions, which can be in-person or virtually, promote conversations and a learning/thinking space between the group members. The coach’s job is to facilitate the discussion, manage time, and add ADHD education when […]
This month I have teamed up with Nick Krenz from Brightside Wealth Advisers. Successful money management comes down to making wise choices with your money and living within your means. Right here, most NDs have checked out of reading further, but if you keep going, I (Sheila) will break down Nick’s expert advice while acknowledging NDs’ challenges. […]
This month I have teamed up with Jocelyn Kelso from Inspired Design. Jocelyn is a graphic designer and artist. Creating art can be a satisfying form of creative expression. For NDs, it is an excellent way to be in flow. Entirely present for the moment you are experiencing. It is also a form of expression that […]
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 […]
Gift-giving holidays are here! I believe that gifts should improve lives and not add stress, chaos, or clutter. Ideas for gifts. Your time is my favorite gift but makes it more special by allowing the recipient to an activity they enjoy doing. Maybe some they don’t get to do often. An experience is my second favorite gift. […]
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 […]
College is a unique experience, but given the high cost, it is one you want to practice and plan for specific ADHD challenges in advance. I get it after years of going to school; most seniors are mentally checked out, especially if they have already been accepted to a college. But from now, until going […]
My daughter is easily over-stimulated. Sounds and smells are triggers for her as well as large crowds, so you can imagine that Christmas Eve Mass was not her favorite place. The church is overflowing with people. The large crowd brings crying children, people who are talking during Mass (rule breakers also not one of her […]
