ADHDers' strength lies in persistence!

We have spurts of energy, deep diving, and completing tasks like there's no tomorrow.

Then, radio silence.

Consistency can be very difficult.

While we can work on consistency, we need the freedom and encouragement to live in our strength, persistence.

Instead of shaming our kids for not cleaning up after themselves, ask them, "What's your plan for getting your room clean?"
Instead of nagging our kids to finish their homework ask them, "What would help you most to get this assignments done?"
Praise the day-long cardboard house building. The soccer skills they are non-stop working on. The amazingly intricate art project.

They are living in their strength of persistence! 🎉

I believe every child and every adult has the superpowers the world needs. I’m here to help you discover and celebrate those superpowers in yourself and in each other. I was a kid, a college student, a classroom teacher, a parent, a spouse, a homeschool teacher and podcaster, and now a coach with ADHD. I have a Master’s Degree in Education, my Positive Discipline coaching certificate, and my ADHD coaching certificate, but my biggest contribution is my experience and confidence in you. You have everything you need inside you. I’m here to help you find it and to give you the tools to create a family and the life of your dreams.
