This Saturday at #NeuroDiversion26: I am facilitating "Unmasking Over Coffee" ☕️
Let's talk about getting diagnosed with #ADHD as adults while navigating cultural expectations that never had space for neurodivergence.
Sat 3/21, 12:30-2pm @ Fair Market Austin
See you there 🧠
How is my #ADHD brain supposed to get anything done this week, splitting between going down the rabbit hole of history & cultural lessons behind Benito Bowl and trying to do Chinese New Year cleaning
not everyone's version of "ambitious" includes waking up at 4am and running marathons
some of us are intellectually driven but need 8 hours of sleep
new post on over-excitability theory & being Type B Ambitious 🧠

Your routine fell apart again. Travel, sickness, late night, busy week - and now you feel like a failure. Here’s the truth: ADHD routines WILL break. That’s not the problem. The problem? You don’t have a reentry plan. Instead of asking “How do I never break my routine?” ask “How do I get back to a

It’s 3pm. You’re starving. But deciding what to eat feels impossible. This is ADHD executive dysfunction around food - and it’s why I created a 3-tier energy system for feeding myself aka ADHD food system: Low energy: grab and eat (granola bars, yogurt, hummus) Medium energy: heat + fresh (frozen
Before I got an ADHD diagnosis, I feel like I was failing at a game that I don’t even know what the rules actually are. Getting a diagnosis is not an easy way out. #ADHD #Neurodiversity #RoutineStruggles #ADHDReality #ADHDlife #PersistenceOverConsistency #ChallengesOfADHD #ADHDawareness

If you've ever felt broken for having energy peaks and valleys, this one's for you. Your brain isn't malfunctioning - you're just wired differently than the "show up the same way every day" world expects. As a late-diagnosed ADHD adult myself, I know the struggle of unlearning cultural programming
The "perfect" ADHD system doesn't exist – and that's actually perfect ✨ For years, I thought I was broken because no system would stick. Turns out, my ADHD brain was just craving what it needs most: NOVELTY. The game-changer? Stop searching for THE system and start rotating between 3 tools for the
Newly diagnosed and overwhelmed by all the ADHD advice out there? I went down the rabbit hole for hundreds of hours so you don’t have to. If you could only read ONE ADHD book, it should be this one. Ready to move from information overload to actually building systems that work? Let’s talk. Link in
The permission slip that completely changed my relationship with tasks ? (Hint: it goes against everything we were taught about "doing things right") What's one thing you're avoiding because you can't do it "perfectly"? ? Want to break free from all-or-nothing thinking and build sustainable
Some days brushing your teeth feels impossible. And you still have to show up as an adult somehow 🪫 Here’s what I learned: ADHD brains have natural energy peaks and valleys. The solution isn’t pushing through—it’s designing completely different routines for your 10% battery days. Food. Movement.
Who signed up for all these plans? Oh right... high-energy me did ? For years, I planned like I’d show up as my peak-energy self every single day. Spoiler: that version of me doesn’t exist 24/7. The game-changer? Planning for my actual reality, not my ideal reality. Ready to stop over-planning and
You broke your perfect sleep routine again. Now what? That voice in your head has some opinions - and none of them are helpful. Here’s what actually helps you get back on track (hint: it’s not more discipline) 👇 If you’ve been stuck in the shame spiral after breaking a habit, this one’s for you.
Saved 47 dopamine menus. Used zero. Sound familiar? There's a reason those lists don't actually work - and it's not because you're lazy. As an award-winning ADHD coach featured in Self Magazine, I help late-diagnosed ADHD adults move from collecting strategies to actually living them. If you're
You're working twice as hard as everyone else but still feel like it's not enough. That voice in your head saying you're lazy? An imposter? Not doing enough? That's not the truth. That's ADHD overcompensating. I help late-diagnosed ADHD adults stop proving their worth through overwork and start
Damn that was the longest January ever….let’s hope for a better February 👐
Happy Black History Month
Incompetent Dork Stuck in the 7th-Grade Takes Time Away From Messing Up Twitter to Mess Up the US Government.
Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.
ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION, YET?! 🤚
And so, the silencing of the left-wing media begins with a transition to state-run media outlets…👇
The. Fourth. Estate. Is. Officially. Dead. ✨
It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
And even worse Elon who was not elected but seems to have the ultimate power after buying himself the WH seat is very heavily involved in this. He has access to U.S. financial and other systems that contain sensitive info. Who is this going to be sold to?
U.S. agencies are being bulldozed tonight and media is not covering this dangerous authoritarian shit. I understand there was another plane crash and am praying for everyone but please make time for the overthrow of our institutions
If you haven’t already started, flood your representatives with phone calls and emails asking for the immediate REMOVAL of Elon MUSK from having ANY ACCESS
to the inner workings of our government.
There is a hostile takeover actively happening in our country and we’re all watching it happen.
If you’re struggling with difficult emotions around the state of the world, you aren’t alone. Here I share some thoughts & a practice that’s supporting me so much right now. You don’t need to have any experience with meditation or mindfulness to benefit; just a little time and some curiosity. ❤️🩹🙏
Spread the word! Together we will resist!
Ask your representative what exactly is their plan to handle Elon Musk's take over of Federal Agency
