If you live with ADHD, you may have spent years feeling like something is wrong with you. Perhaps you’ve been told you’re lazy, careless, or not living up to your potential. Maybe you’ve carried shame from struggling with things that seem “easy” for others – like staying organized, managing time, or finishing what you start.
Here’s the truth: you are not broken.
You simply have a different kind of brain wiring. ADHD brains are creative, curious, and deeply passionate. Yes, they come with challenges – especially around executive function skills like planning, prioritizing, and sustaining focus – but those challenges do not define your worth.
So how do you reclaim your self-esteem when you’ve spent years diagnosing yourself with an “I’m not trying hard enough” problem? The key is twofold:
1. Learning to manage ADHD effectively
2. Challenging negative self-talk that clouds how you see youself
This is the heart of ADHD coaching. Together, we focus on building skills, shifting perspectives, and creating scaffolding so you can succeed on your own terms.
You are not broken. You are a whole and resourceful person. With the right education, skills training, and support, you can work with your unique brain wiring (not against it) and reclaim your self-esteem.
