The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? If you have ADHD — or you’re raising a tiny ADHD human — you already know that multi-step instructions are the enemy. You tell your kid, “Go brush your teeth, put on your shoes, and grab your backpack.” And what happens? They run off to do the thing. Their brain only processes step one. Five minutes later, they’re standing in the kitchen holding their toothbrush, looking confused. Been there. So, here’s what I've been doing...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? Here's something I wish someone had told me years ago: Joy is not something you have to earn. Not with productivity. Not with a clean house. Not with a cleared inbox or a perfectly executed morning routine. But when you live with ADHD, it can feel like joy needs to be deserved. Like you haven’t done “enough” to earn the right to relax. Like fun, rest, or even a snack you enjoy has to be withheld until you’ve suffered your...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? Are you exhausted all day ... only to find yourself wide awake the second your head hits the pillow at night? And your brain?

You remember you never responded to that email from two weeks ago and also, did you remember to lock the front door? And why do you have "Two Tickets to Paradise" stuck in your head? If that sounds familiar,...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? When life ramps up and capacity runs low, we can’t do it all — and sometimes, things we love take a backseat. That’s what happened to me for the past month or so. Maybe you can relate? Here’s what went down: ☀️ Summer showed up, school ended, and with it went all the structure my brain relies on. 👀 My eyeballs are still in prism-glasses rehab — making extended screen time feel like 73 different flavors of yuck. 🧠 And life...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? I recently sat down with Amy Stone on The Art of Imperfect Adulting to talk about what it’s like to discover you have ADHD as an adult — and how that diagnosis connected so many dots I didn’t even know were related. We covered a lot, including: 🧩Putting the pieces together: How the challenges my oldest kiddo faced in school led me to discover my own ADHD at the age of 39. 🌀 Getting Diagnosed: The profound impact that...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? I’ve been dreaming about this for two years — and now it’s finally happening. For the last few weeks, I’ve been quietly building something that ADHDers like us have needed for a long time: a way to get real support, strategies, and community without having to fight our brains (or a damn social media algorithm) to do it. It’s called The ADHD Level Up Lab, and it’s almost ready. This is an affordable, ADHD-friendly membership...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? One of the most common questions I get is: “So … what is ADHD coaching, exactly?” And sure, I’ve got the FAQ-style answer on my website. (You can read it here, if you’re the practical type.) But the real answer? The one that matters most to me personally? It’s this: ADHD coaching is about finally being able to see yourself. Not the mask you’ve had to wear to get through the day. Not the mess or the missed deadlines or the...

How many times today have you told yourself you should be doing something? “I should answer that email.”“I should clean the kitchen.”“I should be more productive, organized, on top of my life, [insert unrealistic expectation here]...” Yeah. Been there. Like, yesterday. And also 10 minutes ago. And as I was writing this sentence. Here’s the thing no one tells you: For ADHD brains, “should” isn’t just unhelpful — it’s often just bullshit. It comes loaded with guilt, pressure, and the idea that...

Most of us with ADHD don’t exactly thrive on rigid routines. (Unless you count the daily ritual of forgetting what you walked into the room for. In that case — we’re all nailing it. 👏) But what if there were a few simple, ADHD-friendly rituals that actually helped you stay focused, get stuff done, and not feel like a frazzled mess by 3pm? That’s exactly what this week’s podcast episode is all about. 🎧 Take Control of Your Day: 3 Rituals Every ADHDer Needs (with Alan P. Brown) I sat down with...
