Hi, I'm Brandy

I also learned to play violin at 46, studied Welsh for 6 months and am now on my 6th month of Dutch. Just ‘cause. I also finally published a poetry book and CD of spoken poetry, and wrote lyrics for a CD full of original tunes my hubby and I recorded.

I mention all this to say that while those talents were in me, it took outside tech help, a supportive and tech savvy musician husband, and being tired of spending 20+ years in a job that didn't always jive with my strengths. I was tired of being fussed at in my office, frustrated with being perpetually late, and I needed some little victories.

So, why did I become an ADHD Coach?

Being able to tackle these areas above gave me the confidence to retire from my job as soon as I made it to 25 years (at age 50) so I could stick my toes into an ADHD Coaching training program. I also began to believe that despite, or because of, ADHD, and with some tech help and a supportive hubby, I really could work for myself as an ADHD Coach. This is something I toyed with doing 10 years ago and was afraid I wouldn’t be able to manage it. But of all things, who would've thought that a pandemic would make distance learning, telemedicine, and teletherapy commonplace, along with the technology to make it happen?

So the timing was perfect.

However, I am far from perfect. I wouldn’t recognize perfect if it was yelling in my face.

None of us are truly perfect. We're all just like ducks gliding smoothly on the water, while their feet paddle frantically beneath the surface, hoping no one notices. And truth be told, sometimes we wish they would see, just how freakin' hard it is all day long, even with meds, to do the stuff others seem to do without batting an eye.

But through ADHD Coaching and with experience of 25 years working with all kinds of people, many with neurodiverse brains, and with an LiCSW and all the education and continuing education units I have to do yearly to keep that license up, as well as living the first half of my life without diagnosis and the next half with the diagnosis, if I haven’t been there, I can find you a resource that has.

You can do this. If you want help, we can do this together. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk about it.
