And when I was pregnant with my second child,

I realized that I wanted more work-life alignment, more time with my kids, but I didn't know how to change careers.

So a friend of mine suggested I join a women's circle, and it really sparked an interest in coaching as a profession for me.

And I started executive coaching in 2017.

My ADHD focus emerged when I noticed my executive clients who had ADHD had specific struggles that my certification couldn't speak to directly.

Someone may be an excellent individual contributor, but when they move up to a management position, that is often when someone with ADHD may start to struggle.

So I pursued ADHD coaching certification so I could understand the difference between a neurodiverse brain and a neurotypical brain.

I think that our corporate culture would benefit from being more flexible.

People with ADHD are amazing innovators.

Like, I don't see what a corporation has to lose by letting a superstar employee come in at 10.

versus at nine, or work from home for a few days.

These are simple ways that everybody benefits with just a little bit more flexibility.

My favorite part of my job is I get to come to work knowing that I'm helpful, knowing that people will walk away from our calls feeling more supported and will have real tools that will help them feel more satisfied and more successful in their own life.
