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...

Ever feel like you’re drowning in emails before you even start your real work? It's a common struggle, especially for those of us with ADHD or busy business lives. But here’s the good news: small changes can make a HUGE difference. They worked for my client, Courtney! Here's her story in her ...

As someone who grapples with ADHD and a side of overwhelm, I know how frustrating a cluttered inbox can be. It's like a constant weight, pulling at your focus and energy, right? ​ A little while back, I had a client, Danielle, who was drowning in emails. She felt like she was always playing c...

Recently, at my coach approach training we were discussing what it means to have a stuck client, particularly one who has ADHD. Stuckness can look different in ADHD. When we get stuck, it stops our executive function.A decision for us can be like a train on the tracks with faulty signal lights ...

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 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 li...

I lost my license. The last thing I remember is feeling something in my right pants pocket, pulling it out, and thinking “oh you need to put that in your wallet before you lose it.” Other than that I have nothing. Did I put it back in my pants pocket? Did I put it someplace “safe”? And if so...

I snuck away to visit my parents in Florida last weekend. I’ve been at full throttle for as long as I can remember. As much as I wanted to be, I wasn’t completely unplugged. (I'll be getting unplugged soon I promise!) My bestie, who I stayed with, gave me a spot for my laptop at her kitchen co...

The snow was falling again in Connecticut last weekend and pretty much all up and down the east coast. I love the quiet and the slowing down. A pleasure after a super busy January. A month where I was very sick and couldn't get in any skiing. Skiing is what keeps me sane in winter. And I confes...
