Meet Vida!

How many times have you been overwhelmed? Sitting there beside a pile of laundry the size of Mt. Vesuvius maybe with a baby in your lap and zero motivation to do anything? 

I know those days all too well. My husband couldn’t help me, my mother didn’t understand, and no one in my friend group had a clue. I should have been able to fix myself, right? I was a teacher. I had a special education certification. I specialized in behavior modification. I read all the books. I could start things but not finish them. I just couldn’t fix it. I felt so utterly alone.

It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and OCD at 38 that I truly began to understand myself and what I needed to get out of the downward shame spiral. I needed professional help from someone who understood how my brain worked and could coach me on the coping mechanisms that I was never taught.

This right here is why I became an ADHD/Neurodivergent Coach. I never wanted anyone else to feel hopeless and alone. They say that through your pain comes your power, well, this is my superpower.

You don’t have to go it alone. Let me help you.

My first coaching client was a former student of mine. Education leads us to believe that kids are fully functional when they walk across the stage with a diploma. This just isn’t reality. My student was struggling in junior college. There were no accountability checks and he was completely on his own. He had poor time management and was drowning in late assignments. Over the course of that semester we worked to improve how he budgeted his time and to proactively approach his work instead of reactively running around at the last minute. We instituted weekly accountability checks and body doubling. He passed every class. 

Another client was a colleague of mine. She struggled with executive function skills and it was causing major stress in her life. Her main pain point was laundry. She couldn’t keep up with it and her job and kids. I suggested outsourcing it and using a drop off service. Originally, she was hesitant because she felt she should be able to do all the things. Let me tell you something, the most successful people in this world, the ones that rise to the top of the ranks, do not try to do all the things. They outsource and delegate at every turn. It was such an easy fix that eventually brought her so much joy but she struggled for so long under the shame of believing she had to do it all by herself.

Life is hard and the tasks it takes to successfully run a life, a family, a business are infinite. However, success is out there, we just have to find the right tactic and the world will open up for you.
