Despite many achievements, I’ve never truly felt successful. My ADHD diagnosis was a revelation—it finally explained the challenges I’d faced for so long. I realized I wasn’t lazy, irresponsible, or lacking; in fact, I was highly capable. Medication initially helped me stay afloat, yet it didn’t bring the lasting sense of success or the changes I was seeking.
Five years later, when my son was diagnosed with ADHD, I was determined to prevent him from facing the same frustrations and negative self-beliefs. This desire led me to learn about ADHD and train as a coach specializing in helping people with ADHD create more satisfying lives.
However, in time, the tools and strategies that had once worked became less effective. My health challenges multiplied: fibromyalgia developed, and in 2021, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seeking a different path, I began working somatically to get in touch with how feelings manifest in my body and nervous system. This helped me see the “little t” traumas that had built up from years of living with ADHD in a society built for people whose brain works differently. This work shifted my life. I learned how some of my beliefs were limiting my success and are not truth. I started receiving intense coaching, practicing Kundalini Yoga, and participated in compassionate inquiry. I found these practices gradually quieted my ADHD symptoms and brought a deeper peace.
Today, I no longer need ADHD medication, my home is organized, my family is thriving, and my relationships are richer and more fulfilling. My initial vision of “WE CAN” has evolved into something even greater: I can now help guide others find the calm, clarity, and confidence needed to live their best lives.
