About:

Hey there! I’m Rebekah and I’m so glad you stopped by my website. I want this to be a place where anyone with ADHD—but especially my fellow Mamas in Midlife—can find support, tools, and resources to help them thrive. I was diagnosed with ADHD: Inattentive Type at the ripe old age of 43. This was nine years ago, and while I did do some research at the time and I did choose to use medication (which helps), I was home with four kids and I didn’t really take the time I should have to fully understand how ADHD was affecting my daily life. I knew the obvious stuff. The stuff that I like to call my Laundry List of ADHD Shame Triggers:

  • Literal Laundry- Just don’t even ask. We don’t know why it’s so hard. It just is, okay? 

  • Messy bathroom- We do like it clean. We really do. We just forget to do it. 

  • Messy kitchen-Why do we have to mess this area up three times a day?? I just got it cleaned. 

  • Messy bedroom (think floordrobe)

  • Clutter (Piles) everywhere

  • Losing things. Repeatedly. (Think: Keys, wallet, purse, phone, chargers, glasses, AirPods/headphones, ID or Credit Cards, shoes, Mind)

  • Company is Coming! (Time for the stash and dash…put on some music!)

  • Bedding in desperate need of a washing

  • Actual phone calls. Ew. That’s so aggressive!

  • Unread texts

  • Unread emails (yes we have over 10,000 of them. What is your point?)

Yeah, that was the stuff I had been struggling with for many, many years and getting the ADHD diagnosis made my struggles in those areas much more understandable. Anything that requires Executive Function can be a problem for the ADHD brain. But what I did not deal with until much more recently is the emotional damage caused by decades of beating myself up (pre-diagnosis) for being such a lazy, undisciplined, unmotivated screw-up. Through better education, therapy, and a lot of soul searching, I’ve realized that none of those things are actually true about me. And learning to stop berating myself, giving myself some grace, and enlisting the help of supportive people in my life has been a game changer.

In telling my own story, I hope others will find a piece of themselves in my words and maybe pick up some tips or tricks that I’ve used to help themselves along their business building journey, and in their every day lives. I’m not a doctor and I have no desire to try to diagnose or prescribe anything to anyone. But I do know what it’s like to live with undiagnosed ADHD for decades and if I can help others avoid the pitfalls of ADHD in business and in life, I’ll be thrilled. 

Please know this: You are not alone! And you are not lazy or broken or bad. You just have a brain that works differently than 90% of the world. If you can learn to work with it instead of against it, you’ll be able to succeed in whatever you set out to do. Let me know how I can help!
