Hello friend! Imagine being stuck in worry, rumination or choice paralysis and being able to take 10 or 15 seconds to pause, and upon your return, you can see from a fresh perspective.

At Thanksgiving, I had to gather some beets from my father’s garden for our harvest meal. My dad is a host for the...
Hello friend! Picture this: summer afternoon, a tall glass of lemonade, and my July newsletter to spark your inspiration. Let's talk accountability! Accountability Is Not a Dirty Word We have an unhealthy relationship with accountability. As ADHD folks, we’ve had more than our fair share of being “held accountable” for things we’ve forgotten, deadlines we’ve missed, emails we wish we hadn’t sent, and projects we haven’t finished. It’s no wonder that we could be repelled by the idea of...
