🧠 My ADHD Lifequake Story

• Mid-life diagnosis → huge relief + wave of grief + whole new world
• On paper: Successful Corporate IT Director
• In reality: Exhausted Imposter
  • Masking chaos and overwhelm
  • Beating myself up for being undisciplined
  • Powering through burnout and work I’d outgrown
  • Working twice as hard and barely keeping up 
   
• When new pressures overwhelmed me, my boss handed me a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) — the second one in 2 years. 
  • My doctor called the first PIP “basically an ADHD diagnosis.” 
     
  • I got fired before the approved accommodations began. 
   
• That same month, my wife left me. She had fallen for someone else.  
  • Decades of coping with my unmanaged ADHD symptoms wore her down in ways neither of us understood. 
  • My brain didn’t perceive her dissatisfaction until it was too late. 
   
• My career + my family crumbled in the lifequake. ☹️

🪜 How I Emerged from the Rubble

• Became an eager student of ADHD, learning and applying everything I could.
• Worked with an ADHD coach to learn my brain and explore strategies to help me.
• Completed an ADHD treatment program with a psychologist.
• Learned to trust my own inner compass through programs with Ilana Golan, Simon Sinek, and Tony Robbins.
• Earned two Life Coaching certifications & two NLP Practitioner certifications.
• Founded ADHD Pathfinders to help YOU navigate from secretly struggling to openly flourishing—without the pain and loss I suffered.

💡 What I’ve Learned (the Hard Way)

• ADHD impacts everything and always has: your family, relationships, work, health, etc., as well as your talents, abilities, mindset…
• Without the right knowledge, skills, and support, you’ll damage what matters most.
• Your struggle isn’t about character, laziness, or willpower. Your brain is just different!
• Feeling stuck or lost is NORMAL for ADHDers, especially in big life changes.
• Clarity + skill + smart action = TRANSFORMATION!
• You can become someone who can leverage your ADHD brain to live your best life.
• Our brains aren’t broken—they’re more evolved! We struggle because the world hasn’t caught up to us.
