I had the chance to sit down with Patrick from on his podcast, All Things Private Practice Podcast, where the focus is authenticity, normalizing self-doubt and impostor syndrome, and having REAL, unscripted conversations in the Private Practice and Entrepreneur space.

As an ADHD therapist, coach, and entrepreneur, navigating professional and personal life comes with unique challenges—and opportunities.

In this episode, we dive into topics like Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), real-life ADHD accommodations for therapists, and the importance of authentic self-disclosure with clients.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

Accommodations Are Essential, Not Optional: Implementing simple strategies like concurrent note-taking, scheduled sending of emails, and pausing to address recurring thoughts can increase effectiveness in both sessions and business operations.

Name and Normalize Your Experience: Recognizing and labeling RSD can help you create space between feeling and reaction, leading to healthier decision-making and emotional regulation—especially when facing criticism or feedback.

Model Neurodivergent Coping Tools for Clients: Transparently sharing your own supportive strategies in sessions doesn’t just help you—it's also invaluable modeling for ADHD clients who need to see that accommodations are not a weakness but a strength.

If you’re a therapist or entrepreneur navigating ADHD, remember: relatability fosters accessibility. Embrace your muchness, and don’t be afraid to show up as your authentic self—for your clients and your community.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a really familiar question…
“Why can’t I get anything done?”

It’s often followed by a lot of self-criticism and the quiet assumption that something must be “wrong” with them.

If you’ve been struggling with productivity, motivation, or follow-through while the world feels like it’s on fire, this blog is for you.

I wrote it to explain, through a nervous system lens, why getting things done can feel so hard right now, and anytime there’s a lot happening around us. This is especially true for ADHDers and others who already have executive functioning challenges. What you might be noticing isn’t a personal failure. It’s an understandable nervous system response to overwhelm.

My hope is that this offers a bit of relief, context, and a more compassionate way to make sense of what’s happening, instead of piling on more shame.

Feel free to share it with anyone who might need that reminder too.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear what you’ve noticed about your own productivity or energy lately.

My phone reminded me today that it’s time to prep for a Valentine’s connection activity with my kids that has become a yearly tradition in our house. It’s genuinely low effort, high impact… and it’s been surprisingly meaningful for my children, so I wanted to share it with all of you.

The activity is simple… For each child, I write one thing I love about them on 14 paper hearts and hang one on their door from Feb 1-14. 🩷❤️💜

ADHD children hear way more negative messages about themselves than their neurotypical peers. This activity is one small way to help your child know you see their strengths and value them.

I wrote a blog post with the full step-by-step process, plus ADHD-friendly tips to make it easier for parents to follow through. There’s also a printable instructions linked in the blog that include an idea list of compliments so you can prep this activity right away!

What’s one strength your child has that the world doesn’t always notice?💞

We managed to get BOTH of the hardest to get rid of types of mail yesterday!!
PESI (iykyk) and car extended warranty.

We got a new to us vehicle a few weeks ago so that was the obvious trigger for those. (We actually got 4 separate extended warranty mailings yesterday, I missed 2 of then until after the pic).

The sad thing with PESI mailings is I'd actually managed to stop them for the Iast 6 months or so, but I'm assuming a change I made with my therapy practice triggered them to sign me up again 🫠.

As an ADHDer keeping up with mail us already hard enough, so as simple as it seems to just recycle them, this kind of thing really just adds unnecessary extra executive functioning. Im very diligent about unsubacribing any promo emails I can to reduce digital clutter and I'll be at least *attempting to get removed from PESI again. I don't think there's anything one can do about the extended warranties.

ADHDers finding literally anything to do other than the task they need to do

01/01/2026

One of the executive functioning skills often impacted by ADHD is metacognition… our ability to pause, reflect, and make sense of our experiences. When that’s paired with the familiar reality of "my ambition often outpacing my capacity", looking back on an entire year can feel surprisingly overwhelming and bring up a lot of mixed emotions.

Like many ADHD business owners, I usually have far more ideas than I realistically have time or energy to bring to life. Over the years, I’ve learned that when I only focus on what didn’t get done, I miss the much bigger picture of what I did accomplish.

One practice that’s been especially supportive for me is creating a Year End Report for my business. As a solo business owner, I don’t technically have anyone to report to, but I learned in my previous jobthat year-end reflections in service-based work (while boring and tedious to compile) can be really soul nourishing. They help capture impact, reach, and the many small moments that don’t always feel visible day to day.

So as we step into a new year, I wanted to share a few of my “year in numbers” with you. Every number represents real people, real conversations, and meaningful work I feel deeply grateful to do.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this chapter.

My ADHD brain is always looking for something new, interesting, and stimulating. Unfortunately, it's as though that ambitious part of me is writing checks that future me doesn't have the funds (energy) to cash.
My ambition always outpaces my capacity.

Here's an example: The me of this weekend, being on top of things, planned out meals for the week. I even found a recipe for a salad I'd seen floating around that looked good and decided I'd make it. I managed to use all my executive functioning skills to purchase all the ingredients, but now the me of this week needs to have the energy, focus and mental processing skills that it requires to actually chop up 8-10 ingredients and mix up a dressing from scratch. Are any of the steps particularly complicated, nope. But they all take mental and physical energy, and it's yet to be determined if I will happen to have either of those available at the times I'm not working to execute making said salad. If I don't, it'll end up being another ADHD tax that I have to eat if the items end up going bad before I prepare them.

This mismatch between ambition and my capacity is a regular challenge that ADHDers face. We have a hard time anticipating how much time and energy will be available later to actually carry things out that the us in the moment decides to do.

This quote is something I've been repeating to myself lately. Some people may read it as defeatist, and that's not it at all. It actually lands for me as a realistic, helpful reminder that I need to think about whether whatever I'm planning for the future is realistic and what my capacity will be to carry it out. It comes with a sense of self acceptance. I also have acceptance that I will probably ALWAYS have more great ideas than I have the capacity to follow through on, and that's a reflection of the exorbanant number of big ideas my brain comes up with as opposed to a failing on my part. This is an important differentiation to make.

What ambitions did previous you have that current you doesn't have capacity for this week?
