does this sound familiar?
You have always been told you have so much potential….if you could only apply yourself.
You feel like you have to work harder than everyone else.
You are high achieving in some areas, but others are the hottest of all hot messes.
You are a kind person, but sometimes you can’t manage your needs, your reactions, your impulses, your meltdowns. And you carry shame because of it.
You have a trail of discarded unfinished hobbies, projects and big ideas behind you.
You know what you “should” be able to do, and just can’t.
You are constantly worried about dropping the ball or second guessing yourself, because you can’t always trust your brain.
You aren’t alone. And you aren’t lazy, crazy, stupid or broken!
I don’t consider ADHD to be an attention deficit disorder – it’s an attention COORDINATION disorder.
Maybe you have ADHD, maybe not. But if that list sounds uncomfortably familiar, I can help! As a certified ADHD life coach, I am specially equipped to work with messy brain (whether you are neurodivergent or not), and help you understand WHY you have the struggles you have, and how to manage them.
Coaching with me isn’t your typical ask a lot of questions and send you on your way approach. We will work together to dig in, find solutions, get our hands dirty, and make some big changes in your life.
Whether you need to tame your ADHD, get better systems and processes in place, learn to be more productive and manage your time, or just get shit done, you’re in the right place.
What Coaching Is
Coaching is to help you find your pain points, acknowledge them, learn why they exist, and create solutions and systems to manage them. Acceptance and education is at the core of everything I do.
I also have a messy brain, neurodivergent kids and spouse, and a busy business and team. I understand the struggles, the annoyances, and how our brain can change from day to day. We will work together to create a variety of strategies to help you grow, smash your goals, and get your shit under control.
The goal is not to ‘fix’ you. You aren’t broken. The goal is to change behaviors, outlooks and expectations to make interacting with the world, and getting shit done, easier.
What Coaching Is Not
Coaching is not therapy. We won’t dig into trauma, or focus on the past – instead we work to create and smash goals and design a present (and future) that you love.
Coaching is not implementation. I can’t take your task list and do it for you. I can help you prioritize your list, form objectives, and give you tools to help work through it.
Coaching is not an easy quick fix. This process takes work, and it isn’t always fun work. You will get frustrated at times, and you might backslide at times. That’s normal, and part of ADHD is knowing that what works today might not work tomorrow, but we can put tools and systems in place to flow with our brain instead of against it.
Go from ADHD Monster to ADHD Master.
I’m Jen.
Like many women, I wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult. Three kids, a string of abandoned businesses and hobbies, and a drive for perfectionism created endless opportunities for an ADHD meltdown.
I wanted to work, I needed to work, and yet….I wasn’t able to work. After many breakdowns, tears, a Buzzfeed meme article that got me on the right path, and months of advocating for myself, I was finally diagnosed.
AND EVERYTHING CHANGED.
Let me help you embrace those quirks and design a life that works WITH your brain, instead of against it.
Since my diagnosis, I’ve flung myself headfirst into learning about ADHD, and helping others begin to understand (and embrace!) their own neurodivergent brains. My experience as a systems strategist, successful business owner, and recovering perfectionist give me unique insight into the challenges that creative entrepreneurs face.
As a certified ADHD Life Coach, my goal is to help you create the tools and systems you need to start thriving. You already have what it takes, I can help get you there.
