I have three incredible children and a kind, supportive husband. Some family members have been diagnosed with ADHD, and it has been challenging not knowing how to support them or be the parent I wanted to be. I have also been an educator for over twenty years and have seen some of my students struggle in the classroom. Educating myself as a wife, mother, and teacher to understand ADHD and how it impacted my family, and my students was important.

Oftentimes, my expectations of my child were unrealistic and unhealthy, causing all kinds of frustration, pain, and conflict. I wondered what I was doing wrong. The most painful moment as a mother came when my child said, “Mom, stop trying to fix me!” It broke my heart to realize that was the message being conveyed through all my efforts. Longing to find solutions, I began my training as an ADHD coach with the intention of becoming better equipped as a wife, mother, and educator.
