After struggling as a school psychologist for over a decade, wondering why I wasn’t functioning the same way as my colleagues, I had reached the point of clinical burnout. In my recovery process, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

Luckily, after spending my entire career working with kids who have ADHD, I was able to take all my tools and resources to support myself along with additional help that has allowed me to be able to accept that I was different and can function in a way that works for me instead of feeling the pressure to fit into the way that everyone else works.

Now, I’m actually able to get stuff done and I live free of panic attacks, because of the changes I made after getting my diagnosis. I’ve gone from being the queen of procrastination to the queen of healthy productivity. It’s why I believe that learning how to THRIVE with your ADHD (instead of fighting against yourself) is the most important and powerful thing you can do as a woman wired differently.
