Most NDs have heard from everyone in their life that they should exercise. I have to agree. The health benefits of exercise are excellent. Exercise is good for you physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you want to add exercise: Try outdoor activities like hiking, tennis, horseback riding, or archery. Try something that will make you […]
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 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 […]
This month, I have teamed up with Stacey Philips with Fresh Start in my continuing series of co-authoring blogs. Are you feeling stuck? You’re not alone! We can feel stuck in many aspects of life- relationship, career, depression, negative thought patterns, grief, weight loss, etc. We can even have a vibrational message, “I’m stuck,” which works like […]

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 […]
There has been this quote circling in my head for a couple of weeks. “Don’t get attached to the path for a goal” – I can’t remember if someone said it or if I read it somewhere. Actually, I don’t even know if that is the exact quote; it is definitely to gist. Regardless of […]
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 […]
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.
