ADHD Life Coaching Program

“A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without a vision will leave you uninspired. But a vision with a plan can guide your destiny to reality.” – Michelle

When you struggle with executive function challenges like the ones associated with ADHD, life coaching can help create structured actions that help you reach daily goals. Act without purpose, the lifestyle you are likely to create will be a wandering generality without achieving your true personal purpose in life. When you live on purpose, you become passionate about being alive. This is especially true for someone with ADHD challenges which life coaching can help.

With ADHD Life Coaching we look at what your passion and purpose are and what barriers are keeping you from reaching them.
