Discovering Your ADHD
Download Your ADHD Workbook
Maybe you've known all along.
Maybe the diagnosis came as a complete surprise.
Either way, how you're feeling about it right now — that is valid.
You might be feeling relief, joy, overwhelm, confusion, grief, hope.. or a mixture that doesn’t even have a clear name yet. Every response is real. Every response is allowed.
Learning about your ADHD isn't about suddenly needing to become someone else. It’s about understanding a new layer of your mind. One that was always there, doing its best, even when the world or you didn’t always understand it. And understanding takes time.

You don’t have to rush to figure it all out.
You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
There’s no one right way to move forward.
This is your journey, on your timeline.
In the early days after learning about your ADHD, you might find yourself rethinking old stories about who you are. You might notice patterns that suddenly make sense, or you might feel overwhelmed by how much there is to explore. Please know: nothing about you is wrong or broken. ADHD isn’t a flaw; it’s a different way of experiencing and engaging with the world. It comes with real challenges and real strengths and both deserve to be seen with compassion.
To support you as you get to know yourself more deeply, I’ve created an ADHD Self-Discovery Workbook.
It’s designed to meet you exactly where you are — no pressure, no judgement — and guide you through reflection prompts, strengths spotting, need-finding and gentle exploration. Whether you’re just beginning to learn about your ADHD or you're ready to dig a little deeper, this workbook is a space for you to connect with your authentic self, not a checklist of who you "should" be.
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to move slowly.
You are allowed to celebrate, grieve, wonder and change your mind.
You are allowed to grow in ways that make sense for you.
You are not alone.
And you are already enough.

I really appreciate the gentle reminders about it being ok to take time. Cause, like you say, it's another layer or lens to ourselves. And while we've always been ourselves, I know I was only at the beginning of learning about what I actually need to help with the way I process information or how I really need to rest.
