The Great ADHD Medication Debate
Why is there such a controversy about medication for ADHD? As with most things in life, it’s more complicated than just one reason, but there are some common themes I’d like to explore.
ADHD Myths: The ADHD Management Toolbox
You saw your doctor, got a prescription for ADHD meds and are still struggling? Medication isn’t a cure-all, but it does unlock the toolbox to help you manage your ADHD. Here are a few of my favorites.

Putting on new underwear is remarkably simple. Once you finally make the purchase.
Seems dumb- but the purchase has been put off for months.
Wearing the old underwear is comfortable in a way that you don’t realize you’re uncomfortable
Habits are like this.
ADHD, Buddy the Elf and Me
Creating MY ADHD life meant reframing myself as a human with an elf-sized heart, overflowing with creativity and enthusiasm. When I stopped trying to fit in with people who aren’t the same as me, and instead focused on how to be the best version of myself, I found I had created a life that worked with my ADHD, rather than against it. An ADHD diagnosis won’t fix everything, but it will help you know yourself better and allow you to do the same.

About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. At the time I was failing at so many parts of life and knowing there was a reason changed my life. I wasn’t a lazy procrastinator who was just really bad with time management, my brain just works differently than most people.
Since then I have been committed to learning how my brain works differently and how to build a life that works with my ADHD so I can be my best self.
This site is dedicated to sharing what I’ve learned along the way and maybe help you build your own ADHD life that works for you.
