Hi, I'm Beth.

I'm here to help you get on the right track when you first think you might have ADHD. It's a daunting place to be, and I was where you are. Here you'll find resources and concepts that worked for me... I hope they work for you, too.

Neurodiversity means everyone thinks and processes differently

Everyone thinks differently, which is good. Plenty of research says so. But, until everyone gets on board and up-to-speed, the power of neurodiverse thinking is hidden under myths and stigma. We create differently, work differently and behave differently. And we ALWAYS feel differently. We look like everyone else, but we are very different on the inside. These differences are worth getting to know.

Our differences are hard to see and explain

We aren’t always aware of our differences or willing to acknowledge them. Our different wiring can’t be seen so it’s misunderstood. The things we do make sense to us, but they mean something different to those around us. We don’t match outdated diagnostic criteria so we go undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and end up in workplace and relationship mismatches. Yet, with the right support, we can look inside to find and make the most of our hidden assets.

We Are The Point.

Life for the neurodiverse is a lot like the life of color pencils. Inside each is a vibrant color center — the very point of the pencil. It’s protected by a matching covering on the outside marked with years of wear. And just like pencils, we get dulled, broken and chewed on. 

But with the right tools we can sharpen our point to reveal our vibrant colors within. And with the right support we can learn ways to write our story without pressing so hard that we break. Support can help us move beyond the pencil metaphor and learn how to strengthen our hidden colors within for the rest of the world to see.

Request to have me speak at your next conference or neurodiversity event

Create an event to help attendees thrive in their neurodiversity. I’d love to be a part of it, sharing insights through storytelling and heartfelt connection. I’ll bring a perspective based on medically-reviewed evidence. Audiences will recognize surprising ways their wiring has made it harder to navigate life, including people-pleasing, perfectionism, and unexpected emotionality. Attendees will leave inspired with tools to challenge their limitations and discover their strengths. Together, let’s create an event that sparks curiosity and self-advocacy so they can see what was wrong with us, is actually what’s right with us.
