ABOUT
AMANDA

I’ve lived a lot of lives.

I’ve assisted CEO’s, run a restaurant and cooked professionally, DJ’d movie premieres, help run my husband’s business and spent years as a stay at home mom; managing schedules, meals, appointments, and the beautiful chaos of raising a neurodivergent family. I did all of it without knowing I had ADHD.

I white-knuckled my way through every role. I built systems that worked without realizing that’s what I was doing. I wondered the whole time why everything felt harder for me than everyone else.

Tunrs out there was a reasons. And understanding it changed everything.

I spent most of my life thinking I was broken.

For most of my life I believed I was dumb, lazy, and unworthy.

I spent 20+ years in therapy and collecting diagnoses: depression, anxiety, bipolar and still felt like I was drowning while everyone else seemed fine.

Then my 4-year-old was diagnosed with ADHD. As I dove into research to advocate for him, something shifted. I started recognizing myself in everything I was reading. When I finally advocated for myself and got my own diagnosis, it didn't feel like a label, it felt like an explanation and a relief! 

Understanding ADHD as a brain difference, not a character flaw, changed my perception of myself completely. I got medicated, found my tools, found a coach and started building a life and career that actually worked for me.

Now I help others have that same awakening.
