Hello Ladies!
I know we are not all the same… but I sure do talk to a lot of women who sound a lot like me.
I was a good student in school, maybe a little disorganized, but certainly not hyperactive. I wanted to please my teachers and they let a lot of my behaviors and needs slip through the cracks. And I didn’t get a diagnosis of ADHD. (We know now that girls are much less likely to get diagnosed and helped in the way they need.)
Instead I spent most of my adult life feeling like a failure. I knew I was smart! So why couldn’t I do all of the things that seemed to come so easily to my peers? I was always the mom who forgot the permission slip. Who forgot the snack. Who forgot the important birthday on the calendar. I had this whole list of what to me (and maybe the people around me) seemed like character flaws. Always late, forgetful, messy, disorganized, unreliable.
And all of those things made me feel SHAME. Mabye you have felt that too.
So…. of course I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Because that seems to be every doctor’s go-to these days when women are struggling. But no treatment really seemed to “fix” me. It wasn’t until after my kiddo got diagnosed that I started recognizing bits and pieces of myself. Started to see that maybe depression and anxiety weren’t at the root of my problems. Maybe I had ADHD too. (And that happens for a lot of moms going through the diagnosis process with their kiddos.)
If you have ADHD or just some of the symptoms of ADHD, I can help you. I can help you with strategies… but mostly I can help you learn how to understand your brain. To even learn to love your brain (and yourself!) To stop feeling that shame.
My office is a safe place without judgement. We just pick up right where you are and help you reach the goals you want to reach.
Why don’t you get in touch with me today, and let’s schedule a quick consultation to see if I can be the help you need. The planning partner and encourager you have needed for such a long time.
Call me!
The men in my life!
