I spent 9 years working in public health, quietly convinced something was wrong with me. Everyone else seemed to manage. I just kept trying harder — more self-help, more systems, more attempts to fix whatever it was that made everything feel so much heavier than it looked on paper.

I went back to school to study hypnotherapy. I wrote a book. I tried to understand myself so thoroughly that I'd eventually crack the code.

Then at 32, I got my ADHD diagnosis. And everything reframed.

Not fixed — reframed. I stopped trying to function like someone I'm not, and started building a life that didn't require me to run on empty to be considered successful. One where I actually got to thrive.

Part of that was building tools for myself in Notion — ways to externalize my thoughts, track my patterns, and actually understand what I need. That's what I share here.
