I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 9, which wasn't common for a girl in 1990. I was put on meds and never really did much else until things began to be too much for me to handle in my late 30s. Much like my late-diagnosed counterparts, I was spiraling, wondering why I couldn't keep up with "simple" tasks. I began digging for information about my brain when my marriage started falling apart. As I sta

rted my own coaching journey, I quickly realized my executive-level job was killing me slowly. I didn't realize that was literally true until signs of Graves' disease began to surface in my lab work in 2022. In hindsight, signs were there in late 2019. Graves' added an extra layer of executive dysfunction that I wouldn't fully understand until I almost died before diagnosis in late 2023. Many of my clients have co-occurrence of ADHD and autoimmune, POTS, MCAS, and the MTHFR Gene mutations. Many of which have a common element of prolonged stress response (burnout) mixed in. Tie in peri-menopause, and you've got a big batch of ADHD soup that can taste a lot better than it currently does. You can learn more about the burnout that led me to start coaching others here:

If you have ADHD, feeling rejected in the workplace is probably something you’ve experienced more than you care to discuss.

If you’re experiencing it now, this podcast is for you.

In this chat with host Yardley Messeroux, I outline exactly how I overcame RSD set in motion by starting a new job (that completely changed) 3 weeks before Covid lockdown.

I’m so thankful to have been given the opportunity to document that journey on this platform.

I hope you find it useful.

I used to be this person.

My own mom wouldn’t even ask me for help because I was always soooo busy. And then, I got tired of not making the things that were truly important, a priority. I got tired of hearing myself say “I’m busy” like it was a title to be proud of.

I got tired of the exhausting and frantic nights of working late and still NOT feeling like I was enough.

If this sounds like you and you’re ready to make a change, Resilient Rebels registration is open.

I’ll see you there!

Denigrating yourself for recovering after doing a week of work in 1 day is not helping. Take the "potato day"!

You deserve it.

"That is not something she would have done before Resilient Rebels." 💥

Imagine having the confidence to set a firm boundary with your highest-paying client because you refuse to sacrifice your self-worth and sanity.

That’s exactly what one of my Rebels did! 👑

By staying composed, professional, and knowing her value, she turned a communication breakdown into an opportunity.

Not only did they stay, but they came back with a whole new level of respect.

When you invest in building resilience through practice and accountability, you invest in your worth.

And yes, that keeps your sanity in tact and money in your pocket! 💰✨

Join us on September 17th and take your power back!

What has overthinking cost you?

I love when bosses, partners, and associates eat their words.

Turns out they love it too!

It just takes one person who WANTS to do this work, to change everything.

Are you that person?
