A lot of women I work with look calm, capable, and “fine” on the outside… while feeling constantly on edge on the inside.

That’s often high-functioning anxiety — and it’s easy to miss because it doesn’t look like panic. It looks like overthinking, holding it together, staying busy, and feeling exhausted by it all.

I wrote a short blog about what this actually looks like in women and why it’s so common, especially for those who carry a lot of responsibility.

Does this feel familiar to you?

You answer the texts, hit the deadlines, remember the spirit week theme, and smile at the neighbor. You look steady, maybe even “on top of it.” But inside,

How does one define “success”? Success is subjective.

What many of you may not know is that Kind Mind Solutions opened in January of 2025. This was our first year. We’ve had highs and lows. And when you’re in the lows, it’s easy to feel like you’re failing. But when you step back and look at the bigger picture, it’s actually pretty amazing to see how far you’ve come.

I’m humbly proud to say we added 3 additional providers to our team, supported 34 clients, held 374 sessions, established 19 partnerships through our Collective (which launches tomorrow), and attended 7 community events.

There were moments this year when I truly didn’t know if I could keep going. Moments I honestly wanted to quit altogether, this business and all. Some of my clients know I took a bit of a hiatus. But I’m glad I pushed through. The tough seasons pass, just like any other season. That's the beauty of life: embracing the journey. So I’m excited to continue supporting our growing clients and our team of providers.

I’m writing this while listening to fireworks, celebrating the start of 2026. While I don't know exactly what the future holds, we're all excited for what's to come. We show up, so that you can too. 🤎

Some days, having two (or more!) neurodivergent brains under one roof feels like a dance… and sometimes like tripping over each other’s feet. 💛

I wrote a new post about parenting when both you and your child are ADHD/AuDHD — the overlap, the meltdowns, the magic, and the moments you need to step into the bathroom just to breathe.

Here it is:

We’re figuring it out together.

You can love your child so much it hurts, and still feel like you’re struggling by 7:12 a.m.

What aspect of time blindness affects you the most? For me, I get stuck in "waiting mode" often....

You tell yourself it’ll take 10 minutes, then you look up and it’s been an hour. Now you’re rushing, skipping breakfast (again), and showing up with that

We can do it! 💛

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Hey friends 💛

I don’t share this often enough, but I’ve been pouring my heart into my coaching work through Kind Mind Solutions, and we are offering 25% off your first session now through January 1st. If you’ve been curious about what I do, or have been thinking about getting support for yourself or your family - this is a really good time to book with me.

As many of you know, I’m a certified ADHD coach and recently completed Level 2 EFT training. My work focuses on helping people untangle the overwhelm, understand their own brains, and build systems and habits that are customized for their lives.

Here’s who I work with:

✨ Women with ADHD, AuDHD, and Anxiety
Women who are carrying a lot - ideas, emotions, responsibilities - and want support creating more ease, structure, and self-understanding and compassion in their daily lives. Together we build routines that feel good, not forced, and create space for you to show up as your whole self.

✨ Mothers of neurodiverse kids
I help parents understand their child’s brain, reduce conflict, create smoother routines, and build systems that support everyone — using executive function coaching, organizational skills training, and a little bit of Dr. Ross Greene’s Plan B sprinkled in. (Parent coaching always comes first!)

✨ Teens (and some kids)
I work individually with teens (with some parent check-ins), and occasionally with kids themselves when it’s helpful - though most of the transformation happens when parents get the tools they need.

And along the way, if it feels right for you, I incorporate EFT (tapping) to help with emotional regulation, nervous system support and moving past uncomfortable feelings and experiences.

If any of this resonates, or if you’ve just been curious - I’d love to work with you.

And if you don’t need coaching right now but know someone who might, please share this post with your networks. Your support truly means the world. 💛✨

Aaaand in true ADHD fashion… I’m introducing my Etsy shop the day before Small Business Saturday 😅

Was this the plan? Nope.
Does it feel on brand? Absolutely.

Time Blindness, Task Initiation, and working 2 jobs hindered it a bit... BUT — it’s here! 🎉

The Feisty Brain Etsy Shop is officially live. It’s a work in progress (because perfectionism is not the vibe), and I’ll be adding more designs over the next few days.

If you want to support a small neurodivergent-owned business, check it out, favorite the shop, share it, and please leave a review if you order.

✨ I’m running a 15% off store-wide sale for the next few days too!

Thank you so much for cheering me on:

This Thanksgiving, I’m giving thanks for my ADHD traits — the ones that have shaped me, stretched me, frustrated me, and ultimately made me more me.

Happy Thanksgiving, beautiful people!
