Why Group ADHD Coaching?

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.

Work with Your Brain to Organize

This month I have teamed up with Karen Barela, professional organizer and senior move manager with GingerSugar, LLC.  Organizing and then maintaining that organization is not the neurodiverse brains’ favorite activity.

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!

Gift Ideas for Neurodivergents

Gift-giving holidays are here!  I believe that gifts should improve lives and not add stress, chaos, or clutter.  Ideas for gifts.
