ND coaching · for parents & adults

Growth isn't a straight line. And that's okay.

Coaching for moms raising neurodivergent kids who are starting to see themselves in their child, and for ND adults building a life that fits their brain. Shame-free, practical, and no diagnosis required.

Sound familiar?

"I can't even take care of myself, let alone someone else."

"My kid can't regulate, and honestly, neither can I."

"I see so much of myself in my kid."

If you nodded at any of these, you're in the right place.

Who this is for

You don't have to fit the mold to belong here.

For ND parents

You started learning about your kid's brain and kept recognizing your own. You're running on empty, buried in school emails and advocacy, and parenting advice built for default brains just leaves you feeling guilty. Here we work on calmer days, routines that bend, and taking care of you too.

For ND adults

Maybe you were diagnosed last year, or maybe you're still wondering. Either way, you're tired of systems that work for a week and then quietly fall apart. Together we build a life that works with your brain, not against it.

No formal diagnosis required. Ever.

How I see it

A few things I know to be true.

You

You don't need fixing.

Your brain isn't a problem to solve. I help you build systems that fit how you actually work, instead of squeezing yourself into someone else's.

Behavior

Behavior is a signal.

Procrastination, meltdowns and burnout aren't character flaws, yours or your kid's. They're information about what's missing, like support, rest, interest, or a better fit.

Advice

Mainstream advice wasn't built for you.

Most productivity and parenting advice assumes steady energy and a default brain. We toss the guilt and find a rhythm that works on your real days.

Maren Goerss, MAEd, A-CALC

ADHD life and parent coach. ADHD survivor and thriver.

I'm an educator, a longtime homeschooling mom of four (three of them neurodivergent), and an adult with ADHD, so I know the exhaustion of squeezing ND brains into one-size-fits-all systems. I co-authored the bestselling book Think Differently About Learning and co-hosted the Homeschool Unrefined podcast. I'm an Advanced Certified ADHD Life Coach (A-CALC) and a Positive Discipline Parenting Coach, and I'm finishing my ICF PCC credential. My coaching is shame-free, practical, and built on lived experience.
