The first time I read an article about adult women with ADHD, I cried. It was like reading about my own life — all those little "quirks" others would point out, and the way I lived behind closed doors.
The rubber band that would sit on my floor for weeks at a time. The addictive tendencies. Moving from country to country, flat to flat, job to job. Sitting, overwhelmed and completely paralyzed on my sofa, while to anyone else it would look like I was relaxing. The insomnia. The chronic depression.
I was diagnosed at 31 and was flooded with relief, anger, regret, joy, and acceptance. Simultaneously.
After years of being told I was "just" clinically depressed and anxious, that it was "just" my hormones, I knew I needed help. With the support of an ADHD Coach, my perspective on my past, my ADHD, and myself, began to change.
I’m ROSIE
I’m AN ADHDER LIKE YOU
After a lifetime of feeling alone, misunderstood, dismissed, and misdiagnosed, millions of women the world over are finding out about the millions of other women just like them.
I'm one of those women.
I'm thinking you probably are too.
This is my ADHD story,
and it might look a lot like yours.
ALWAYS FEELING LIKE AN OUTSIDER. KNOWING YOU'RE SOMEHOW "DIFFERENT." MISDIAGNOSED. DROWNING.
SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU'LL RELATE TO THIS...
About
There was no one in my life who understood the depths of how ADHD affects me.
Things I never told anyone due to shame and embarrassment.
Age i was diagnosed with adhd
As a perpetual outsider, whether in reality or just in my own mind, I never thought anyone would ever understand me. Suddenly, I wasn't alone. And I can't begin to express how f*cking good that felt.
And after a few more similar revelations, I had an epiphany — I need to help other women who've been diagnosed late with ADHD in the same way.
Many months of research, learning, an intensive, months-long 1:1 ADHD Coach Training program, & quite a few happy clients later, here I am.
All those feelings, thoughts, and frustrations you have about (and because of) your ADHD? You're not alone — I'm right there with you. And I can't wait to support you, strategize with you, hold you accountable, and cheer you on, as you build the foundations of an ADHD-friendly life.
My life wasn't suddenly easy, but I had new, achievable strategies to use in day-to-day life. I had my coach's voice in the background when I started beating myself up for forgetting about the laundry in the wash, or accidentally letting my fresh veggies go bad. Again.
The first time I told my coach something I'd never admitted to anyone else, I expected them to say "We all do that sometimes, it can't be that bad."
Instead, I was met with empathy and "I deal with the same thing every day. No one gets how hard it is and it really f*cking sucks doesn't it?"
Mind. Blown. Feeling understood, accepted and most importantly, believed, was a brand new concept for me.

Training & Coaching
Honed my coaching skills in a 1:1 intensive ADHD Coach Training program. Started coaching clients in weekly 1:1 sessions. Celebrated with them when they started making strides with their ADHD.
2021- 2022
Self-diagnosis & actual diagnosis
Like most women, I took tests which unofficially diagnosed me with ADHD. 20 minutes into my first (of 3!) diagnosis consultations, my psychiatrist stopped and apologized for no one spotting my ADHD or diagnosing me sooner.
2020 -2021
11 psychiatrists, 1 diagnosis
I went to 11 psychiatrists while living in South Korea, Australia, Colombia, & Germany. All confirmed chronic clinical depression. I learned I didn't cry when speaking about my depression in another language.
2011-2019
First taste of depression
Depression became an ever-present part of my life at 14. I wouldn't admit it and tried to fake like all was well. All was not well. Was officially diagnosed and started taking anti-depressants at 17. I finally felt somewhat myself again.
2003 - 2007
Heard about ADHD
A boy in my grade was diagnosed with ADHD and took medicine for it. He was always running around, couldn't sit still., and interrupting the teacher. This what I thought ADHD was until I was 30.

Rosie just GETS me. She gets how hard adulting is for me, even though I'm almost 30 & she doesn't judge the super basic stuff I struggle with. Like she is literally helping me get better at opening my mail & leaving the house on time. But it's making a HUGE difference!
She supports me & makes me feel good about the smallest wins & when I mess up or don't follow through with our plan, she always reminds me to not beat myself up. Because if a plan isn't working it is the PLAN'S fault & not MINE. Then we just change the plan!
I can tell my self-confidence & self-worth are increasing a bit more each week & it's a really new but good feeling.

Rosie has been my ADHD Coach for 11 weeks so far and already my life is improving! I have a lot of trouble arranging my personal time and work time. As a team leader I really needed help prioritizing my time and my work tasks. In our weekly sessions Rosie helps me strategize and create a plan for my deadlines that are coming up so I don't get overwhelmed or work only at the last minute all the time like usual.
We also created a "wakeup routine" that I can finally stick to because it's not like a typical full morning routine. It is really quick so I can do it even on days I oversleep.
I'm so pleased I decided to work with Rosie as my ADHD Coach and I really look forward to our session each week!

My life was a mess of chaos when I started coaching with Rosie. Some parts are still chaos, but overall I feel more in control! I've never had good routines in my life and when I did start one it never lasted since I'm a freelancer so my days are always changing.
Rosie really listened to my specific problems and asked a lot of questions about how I live, even about how my apartment is laid out which I thought was strange at first. Then I realized we came up with small parts of a routine to stack together that fit for my life exactly in my exact apartment and work space.
THANK YOU ROSIE!!
