Hello! I'm Liv. Armed with the highest degree from a top university, my groundbreaking research on mentorship in the natural sciences earned recognition from 20 international scholars. My exploration of brilliance and ADHD in University? A well-read article in Gifted Education International. And those 35 undergrads I mentored? Now thriving professionals in medicine, law, engineering, and science.
But my undergrad days? A different story. Picture this: an advisor suggesting I drop out, despite breezing through earlier school years in a gifted program. University changed everything. Once, I was racking up A’s and fielding job offers from giants like MasterCard and Microsoft. Suddenly, I was on probation, battling daily basics—sleep, food, mood. An ADHD diagnosis emerged, though one psychologist claimed I was "too organized."
My undergrad mantra? All-nighters, peak performance, crashes. Effective short-term, but long-term? Anxiety, depression, myriad diagnoses. The kicker? Despite countless professionals, few had advanced knowledge on high-functioning adult ADHD. Yet, I was unstoppable, navigating challenges no matter the cost.
Speaking of cost, it’s not just about money. It’s unpaid hours, lost gigs, burnouts, missteps, and wading through depression’s depths. Then came a pandemic epiphany: ADHD coaching. It slashed my ADHD-related tolls, introducing me to expert knowledge.
Who knew an army of pros existed, trained exclusively for brains like mine? This revelation shifted my path from academia to coaching. Now, I shield others from familiar storms, guiding them—whether it's starting a business, obtaining a degree, or mastering life's unpredictable waves. With an ADHD coach alongside, you don’t merely chase your dreams at any cost—you achieve them on your terms without sacrificing what you need along the way.
