It is human to sometimes think “I am not good enough” or “I am not worthy” but not healthy to stay in that mindset.

The global ADHD market size is expected to reach $24.9 billion by 2025. People need these services. 1 in 20 adults in the US has ADHD, but fewer than 20% of them seek out treatment. This is most likely due to both cost, and lack of awareness of options (such as ADHD coaching).

The ADHD brain responds aggressively to stimulation. If it triggers our neurotransmitters, we will follow it — and often that means starting tasks but never finishing them, losing track of time, and working on what interests us — not what is most important.

As a coach specializing in executive function skills, I can help you with that. And yet, some people still want to know.

My personal struggles as a parent started way before the official ADHD diagnosis. Even in daycare, my son was “hard to handle”. He had emotional ups and downs. He had no control over his behavior.
