You’re not flaky. You’re not a mess. Your brain just doesn’t function on ‘shoulds’. You’ve spent years thinking you just needed more discipline, willpower, focus, but your brain wasn’t built for punishment-based productivity. Stop forcing what doesn’t work and start building what does.

I’ve decided that my ultimate life goal is to one day go for a massage and have the therapist say, “wow, no tension at all, not a single knot!”

Also I wrote a book!
Do I remember everything thing I wrote? No!
Did I enjoy research rabbit holes and writing? Yes! 😂

I have ADHD and I love reading books!
Do I remember everything I read? No!
Do I enjoy reading? Yes!
Enjoyment isn’t about how “well” we do something 💛

Healthy Happy ADHD is the book that many of my clients needed without even knowing it. It's a must read for any woman with ADHD. - Rachel L Goldman, PhD, psychologist and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
I dropped out of uni TWICE, never earned a degree. And yet, here I am, I wrote a book about ADHD and it’s published with Penguin, and there are scientists, psychiatrists, and psychologists who are recommending it! There are more ways than one to reach our goals. Never give up 💛

As more responsibilities in adulthood are piled on, there comes a point where our ADHD becomes so unbearable that we realise something is not right, and we seek answers. That is why so many women (like me) don’t get diagnosed until their thirties 🧠

Many ADHD women learn how to hide their ADHD, and come across as ambitious high achievers who are calm under chaos and love a deadline! In reality, under the surface, we might be struggling to stay afloat.

ADHD affects every woman differently but one thing seems to be true for us all; an unhealthy lifestyle makes the ‘negative’ parts of ADHD so much more intense and harder to live with!

I wrote a book. It’s not a book that teaches you how to remove your ADHD. It’s not another book that teaches you timekeeping tools. It’s not a book that theorizes about where ADHD comes from. Quite simply, it’s a book by a woman with ADHD who wanted to feel healthy and happy.

It’s life changing as an ADHD girl when you realize the “on edge” feeling isn’t always anxiety… but the body begging for movement! ADHD often shows up as internal hyperactivity in women, leaving us feeling anxious / on edge. The thing is… we can’t think our way out of it, we need to move it out! 🏃♀️🏋️♀️🏓
