From Dana: I’ve Been Helping People Outsmart Their ADHD Since 1998I get it. I have ADHD, too. I know firsthand how it feels to struggle with ADHD symptoms, and what it’s like to dream of life being easier.I felt hopeless. Frustrated that I couldn’t get the important stuff done. Overwhelmed with clutter and chaos at work and at home. Constantly afraid that I’d lose my job.I spent years learning how to master my ADHD. Pulling apart my out-of-control life. Slowly rebuilding it piece by piece with sustainable systems and strategies to support me at work and home.My transformation was so powerful that I’ve made it my mission to teach other adults how to master their ADHD, too.That’s why I became an ADHD coach. Working privately by phone with clients all over the world.But, I discovered a couple of problems with private ADHD coaching.Sure, my clients lives were changing, but they still felt so alone in their struggles. They needed a community.And, frankly, the price of private coaching was too expensive for lots of people.That’s why I invented the ADHD Success Club. A community of smart, professional ADHD adults who I’m teaching how to master ADHD together. ***************************Got a minute to help me improve the podcast?
