Why I Became an ADHD coach for women with ADHD
Near the end of 2019, I left my role as an HR Director for a large restaurant company with close to 1000 people. In the last years working there, I noticed that things were more challenging for me. Of course, I hid that from everyone by staying late most days to keep up. Even so, I knew that people around me were noticing as I'd forget names, make silly errors, or struggle to find the right words. It was horrifying.
Fortunately, a year later, while on a Covid walk, I was listening to a podcast where the guest speaker, Shaun Roney, was being interviewed about her work with women and ADHD. Frankly, I wasn't interested and almost turned it off because I didn't know anyone who had it-let alone me.
I was SO WRONG! When Shaun listed how ADHD shows up in women, my mouth dropped open. I remember exactly where I was when I heard it. After listening to the show at least a half dozen more times to confirm and taking every assessment I could find online, I scheduled time with a psychiatrist who confirmed it.
So, at the age of 51, I learned about women and ADHD, was diagnosed, and began to feel so much better about my life as I looked at it through this new lens. By my next birthday, I was enrolled in specialized ADHD coach training to add to my current coach certifications.
I wish I had known about my ADHD earlier. It would have made a world of difference in how I showed up in my adult life. College would have been easier and honestly, my whole life would have been more understandable. Most importantly, I wouldn't have felt so alone, and my self-esteem wouldn't have been as battered.
I don't want others to have to walk this path alone. In my practice, I weave together my experience in HR (managing ADHD at work), building healthy habits that scale to routines (Tiny Habits), and my work as a mindset coach and Dare to Lead™ facilitator to support professionals like you to thrive, not just survive.
If you're ready to embrace your ADHD and make changes to improve your life, give me a call. I'd love to partner with you!
