I think the biggest takeaway from coaching is a better understanding of your brain and how you function. When you know yourself better, you are able to put strategies and structure in place that work for you. You’re better with boundaries and setting goals. You know what you need and how to make it happen.

Think of all the skills you need to get through your day: planning, organization skills, motivation, emotional regulation, time management.

My husband and son both have ADHD, so I’ve lived with it for more than 25 years already. I started a parent support group more than 12 years ago to create community and connection to other parents raising ADHD kids. I became a coach about three years ago through ADDCA, one of the top ADHD coach training academies in the world. I’m certified through ADDCA and through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), both of which require hundreds of hours of training and coaching practice prior to certification.
