I've been awfully quiet in your inbox the last couple of weeks.

I'm just back from vacation followed by Covid.

Most people bring back souvenirs from Europe.

Apparently, I bring back illness.

Fortunately, I had my booster in July and I'm recovering pretty well.

But yowzers I didn't expect to lose...

What's Your Gold? #adhd #mentalhealth #olympics #self-care Aug 10, 2024

There’s something so inspiring about the Olympics.

Last week, I wrote about stepping back to move forward.

I think about Simone Biles and how difficult it must have been for her to step away from her team 4 years ago and watch them get the silver. I’m sure a thousand questions ran...

I postponed last week’s Google Calendar workshop until Wednesday, Sept 11 at 11am ET.

We had low registrations and I had even lower energy.

This was a very hard decision to make until it wasn’t.

Here’s why!

I have a list of Needs and Values right next to my computer.

The Secret to Taking Time Off #adhd #emailmanagement #googlecalendar #productivity #selfcare #timemanagement #timeoff #worklifebalance Jul 08, 2024

I took the holiday weekend off.

I wasn’t quite sure how I would pull it off until I finally just plain old shut the door to my home office and didn’t sit at my computer for 3 days.

The world didn’t end.

My inbox isn’t too inundated, surprisingly.

And I feel refreshed and...

Get to, Have to #adhd #coaching #executivefunction #mentalhealth #mindsetshift #productivity #stressmanagement May 29, 2024

Recently, at my coach approach training we were discussing what it means to have a stuck client, particularly one who has ADHD.

Find Your Story #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdbrain #mentalhealth #self-care May 20, 2024

Over 20 years ago, I saw a therapist for depression.

It was just before the holidays and with the kindest of intentions, she put me on medication so I could enjoy them.

Unfortunately, that med threw me straight into mania.

I felt like my heart was racing all of the time and I ended up going on a...

I Cried Over Porkchop #adhd #adhdfrustrations #burnoutawareness May 14, 2024

I cried over a pork chop.

I was in a chemo brain re-training group learning how to not forget allthethings.

My colleague expressed her frustration at being unable to find the pork chops she had prepared for dinner that night.

And I cried and cried.

In usual times, I would have chuckled and said...

The Power of Pause #adhd #adhdawareness #mentalhealth #selflove May 11, 2024

A few years ago, in the first few months of the pandemic, I wrote nearly daily posts on social media about my experiences.

This one struck home and I thought I would share it with you.

We're just coming out of one of the most important pauses - a family member was in hospice.

And it felt like...
