ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Do any of the descriptions below fit you? YOU ARE NOT ALONE... there are many other ways ADHD shows up. These are just a few from the lived experience.
ADHD IS REAL
​
An ADHD diagnosis is just the beginning! Understanding and acceptance are critical to the process of living a fulfilling life with ADHD. That often includes educating partners and family members, taking more time for yourself and reassessing expectations as well as discovering and placing a higher value on your gifts and talents.
​
Did you know that people with ADHD often...

MY STORY
We all have a story to tell. Mine is, like yours, one that includes ADHD. Diagnosed in my late 30's, I set out to put into practice everything I could to be more productive. That research led to an eventual career helping others to understand, embrace and manage the "Lived Experience" of ADHD.
​
My life today is about much more than being productive. Embracing my human "beingness" and giving it equal time to my human "doingness" has been the greatest gift of a career in life coaching.
​
I am a lifelong learner, a mother, grandmother, wife, hobby writer and artist. My dream for you is that you also know that you are much more than your diagnosis.
​
A cornerstone of being a Co-Active is seeing each client as
Creative Resourceful and Whole.
That would be you, if you are reading this!
