Fast forward two years, and my journey as an ADHD Coach has evolved in ways I hadn’t initially imagined. As I worked with my clients, it became clear that while ADHD tools and strategies are valuable, there’s often something deeper at play. Together, we discovered that challenges like People Pleasing, Rejection Sensitivity, Perfectionism, and deeply ingrained beliefs about Productivity often have a greater impact on our lives. It’s not just about managing ADHD—it’s about understanding ourselves on a deeper level.

This realization led me to seek out more comprehensive training, which is why I’m currently enrolled in a Trauma and Somatic Counseling Course, set to complete in 2025. Through this program, I’ve come to understand that many of us with ADHD carry some form of trauma. Growing up in a world where our needs were often misunderstood or overlooked—especially for women with ADHD—has left many of us with a lingering sense of inadequacy.

I’ve also learned the crucial importance of reconnecting with our bodies and tuning into the messages they hold. In a mind that’s constantly on the go, this might seem challenging, but it’s a skill that can be learned and is vitally important to our well-being, as we're often stuck in flight or fight and freeze and this creates Stress, Anxiety and feeling Stuck.
