What’s in Your Trunk? #adhd #selfcare #selflove Sep 19, 2024

The trunk.
It sat looming in the corner of her newly organized office.
It was the last thing.
The last BIG to do in her quest for an organized office.
It held all of the bills and documentation from her child’s medical situation.

Opening it felt like opening Pandora’s box.
What would fly out?
Furies?

Mile in your Shoes #adhd #adhdcoach #adhdproductivity adhdcoaching self-love Sep 08, 2024

I sat in the client meeting discussing our next steps in their construction project.

It was time for a delivery of wood, 2 by 4s, the things used to build the walls.

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 los...

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 through her mind...

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 ready to create magic ba...

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.

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 ...
