I’m working with a client who is in the final stretch of completing her PhD.
And over the past year, we’ve worked hard to help her create the structure, systems, and support she needs to get there.
She’s shown up for herself.
She’s done the hard, unglamorous work.
And she’s learning to meet herself with more compassion along the way.
This is exactly what we’ve been working toward together.
Because writing a PhD thesis is demanding for anyone.
But for people with ADHD, it can be especially challenging because it places enormous pressure on executive functioning:
→ attention
→ planning
→ organization
→ time management
→ task initiation
→ sustained focus
She’s still waiting for the official “win” once the thesis is submitted and approved.
But from where I’m standing, she’s already an incredible winner.
Not because of the title or the paper.
But because of the person she’s becoming in the process.
She has so much to be proud of!
What’s one goal that would feel more achievable if you didn’t have to do it alone?
