Hi!
My name is Jess. I’m an ADHD and Executive Skills Support Coach.
I know firsthand the extraordinary energy, effort, & external support it often takes to manage & maintain the basics of a “normal” life with executive dysfunction. It can feel like it’s so much harder than it appears to be for our “neurotypical” counterparts.
Yet more often than not, we are evaluated, judged, & rewarded by the same standards as neurotypical folks.
But, I also know firsthand that -
We CAN do the things!
And we DO do the things!
We just need to find approaches that factor in our impaired executive functioning. We need specific targeted strategies & personally tailored hacks that appropriately respond to the gaps in our existing support.
And consistent professional guidance to do so!
I’m so glad you’re here.
This place is for you if you…
Have an ADHD diagnosis (hello fellow Schmormals!)
Suspect that you may have ADHD
Struggle (consistently or suddenly) with daily tasks, like:
Paying attention
Planning ahead
Controlling impulsive thoughts & actions
Calming an overactive body &/or mind
(These things are often referred to as executive skills)
This place is ALSO for you if you…
Struggle with things in your relationships & personal life, like:
Rejection (or reaction) sensitivity & emotional regulation
Promises, expectations, & follow-through
Flexibility & collaboration
Listening to understand and recall
Heightened sensitivity to justice & fairness
Budgeting & finances
Frequent interpersonal conflict
Employment problems
etc.
Plus, if…
You care about someone with ADHD &/or executive skills challenges and want to learn how to better relate with them.
You work with, for, or above anyone with executive skills challenges (not sure if you’re dealing with a Schmormal but suspect that you may? Being neuro-inclusive means behaving as if you do, just in case).
You want to be a better advocate, friend, partner, child, parent, sibling, teacher, employer, employee, community member, office mate, knitting circle host, (etc.) to a Schmormal and to other humans at large.
You would like to invite Normal Schmormal to your work or other space for neurodiversity skills sharing & workshops!
Stop letting ADHD ru(i)n the show.
Start successfully managing it today.
