A bright sun-filled cottage kitchen corner with cream-painted cabinetry and a worn wooden table holding a ceramic teapot, matching mug and a clear glass jug of cow parsley and pink garden flowers.

Last week you were unstoppable. You cleared your inbox, finished a client project early, and even planned ahead for the month. You thought, this is it. I have finally cracked it.

If you have ADHD or AuDHD and you are in your late thirties, forties, or fifties, you may have noticed that your brain is not working the way it used to. Your medication feels less effective.

Most people who ask “should I get an ADHD coach” are not really asking that question. They are asking something underneath it. Will this be another thing I start and don’t finish? Will the coach get me? Is the money worth it? Am I making too much of this? Coaching adults with ADHD and AuDHD [...]
