Feel like you’ve never quite fit in anywhere?

I know how you feel.

I help women who have unknowingly lived with ADHD discover their unique strengths and manage their symptoms. As someone who’s been there, I can provide the insights and strategies they need to understand themselves better and thrive.

The TNT of ADHD

“TNT” – that’s trials and tribulations… and that’s putting it mildly.

And sometimes it does feel like a bomb went off. A big, messy one that’s about to disrupt world peace. I know the feeling. I get what it’s like to be frustrated, keyed up, and out-of-sorts for no apparent reason. Or what it’s like to be curious about EVERYTHING. Google is my best friend, and don’t even get me started on Amazon. There are squirrels running around EVERYWHERE!  But where is the pest control guy when you need him?

I’ve had decades of sleepless nights because I cannot shut off my overactive head. I lay there at night, solving all the same problems over and over and over and over. It’s SO exhausting. And as you can imagine, feeling “rested” became a figment of my imagination. Kinda like Sleeping Beauty. Except she slept – until some hot prince had to kiss her and disrupt her much-needed slumber! Damn that guy!

The problem is ADHD. And ADHD needs to be regulated with a whole-body approach. For instance, you cannot have a happy brain when your liver is saturated with wine. Trust me – I know because I tried that, too! That elusive thing you’ve been looking for: HAPPINESS. It’s out there, but you can only find it within. Let’s start looking.

Mental Health Crisis

There’s the health crisis that’s been declared by the surgeon general. People aren’t taking care of themselves. Then substance abuse disorders are fueling an ever-growing addiction crisis. The quick fix. Then there are the neurodivergent disorders that make some of us uniquely challenged in a whole set of different ways. Give us anything that helps us feel better!

When the healthcare system fails us, we don’t have to fail each other. There’s temptation around every corner. More and more people are finding themselves one paycheck away… Let’s get past the overwhelm together. It may be easier to give up instead of fighting the fight. But don’t give up. We got this.

ADHD Types

For surprisingly many individuals, particularly women, navigating life with undiagnosed ADHD has been a challenging and often misunderstood journey. This underdiagnosis means we’ve been grappling with symptoms without realizing the root cause, affecting our relationships, careers, and personal well-being.

Which type are you?

Body: the Vessel

Your body’s health is a huge deal for managing ADHD effectively. Staying active, eating right, and getting enough sleep can do wonders for your brain. It’s all connected! Exercise pumps up those feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which assist with focus and thinking. Plus, a balanced diet gives your brain the fuel it needs, and good sleep recharges your mental batteries. When you take care of your body, you’re setting up your mind to be more focused, energetic, and ready to tackle anything.

Mind: the Map

Taking care of your mind is super important when it comes to managing ADHD. When you focus on mental well-being, things like concentration, memory, and handling emotions get a big boost. By practicing mindfulness, cutting down on stress, and keeping a positive attitude, people with ADHD can gain more clarity, creativity, and better problem-solving skills. Getting your mind balanced and calm is a game changer for dealing with ADHD challenges. And creativity is the cure for depression – which you likely experience simultaneously with anxiety if you have ADHD. They will gang up on you like the brood of bullies behind the bleachers.

Spirit: the Path

A healthy spirit is crucial for individuals with ADHD as it can significantly enhance their overall well-being and ability to manage symptoms. Maintaining a positive and resilient spirit helps foster a sense of purpose and self-worth, which is vital in dealing with the challenges of ADHD. It encourages a proactive mindset, enabling individuals to employ coping strategies, remain motivated, and pivot from setbacks. Additionally, a healthy spirit can contribute to better emotional regulation, reducing feelings of frustration and stress commonly associated with ADHD. Ultimately, nurturing a healthy spirit offers a foundation for personal growth, improved relationships, and a more balanced life.

I look forward to helping you find your own “happy” in your life-long challenges with ADHD. At the very least (depending on your level of participation), I will do what I can to give you little tips and tricks to get your life on track – especially if things aren’t what you had hoped or expected. Your priorities and dreams cannot be ignored or replaced any longer! It’s YOUR TIME TO SHINE. Soul Stairway is here for you every step of the way.
