Find Confidence in Your Messy Mind

My Story

I was diagnosed in the mid 90's, when ADHD was still relatively new and carried a lot stigma. I spent the majority of my life ignoring it, believing that if I found the "right" medication, or ate the "right" foods, or used the "right" organizer, I would somehow unlock the life I knew I was capable of. I tried everything. "Almost" had become my mantra because I was always "almost" there, yet as much as I tried, I still fell short. Truth was, I always ended up bored, spending most of my time juggling the expectations I thought others had for me, always one big event away from losing everything. It was exhausting, constantly trying to stay ahead of the chaos. It took it's toll and eventually the only option left was to finally work to understand my ADHD. 

​

I poured over expert articles, binged podcasts and webinars, and bought far too many ADHD self-help books, but, while all providing excellent information and strategies, I still found myself struggling to sustain my efforts at organizing the chaos. It was the perspective from my ADDCA training program that gave me the last piece to my puzzle. My brain wasn't broken, it just performed differently. Once I learned how my brain worked, was able to tailor the strategies and supports I learned to my particular brain, I found that magical key. I no longer fight my brain but work with it, cultivating the life I always knew I wanted.
