For years, I battled self-doubt and imposter syndrome as I struggled through grad school and my first years as a professor.
Despite the countless to-do lists, planners, and productivity hacks I tried, it took me days to complete what my colleagues would do in a few hours.
I was utterly exhausted, and I couldn’t get ahead.
Convinced there was something wrong with me, I hid under waves of shame and anxiety, dreading the day that I’d be “found out.”
Then at the age of 31, I was diagnosed with ADHD (Inattentive type).
Things started shifting.
I finally understood why everything felt so hard.
And more importantly, I realized that there was nothing wrong with me.
Instead, my brain was just wired differently.
Using my hyper-focus, I devoured every ADHD resource I could find.
I started identifying my unique strengths and recognizing what I have to offer the world.
Then I found life coaching, where I learned how to manage my mind and work with my ADHD, not against it.
When I put all of this knowledge together, that’s when everything changed.
I finally stuck to my schedule.
I stayed focused on my tasks.
I approached each day with less stress and overwhelm.
And I felt confident in myself and my abilities.
Plus, I made way more time for snuggles with my favorite little guy, Bruno.
The changes I experienced were so profound that I couldn’t keep them to myself.
I became a Certified Life Coach and now have the honor of helping others with ADHD learn how to develop self-confidence, follow through on their commitments, and start making their biggest goals a reality.
I’d love to help you do the same.
