For years, I thrived in fast-paced world of ophthalmology, juggling tasks and keeping everything running smoothly.
I relied on checklists and systems to stay focused because if I didn’t, things would easily slip through the cracks.
At the time, I didn’t realize I had ADHD. I just thought I needed to work harder than everyone else to stay organized.
Looking back, I see how much I struggled, even as I developed tools and strategies to manage my workload and keep up with the demands.
It wasn’t until I joined a start-up medical practice that everything changed. The provider had a much more relaxed approach, often putting things off until the last minute. For someone like me, who thrives on structure and organization, it felt like complete chaos.
Tasks were piling up, and I felt like I was constantly spinning my wheels but getting nowhere.
It was overwhelming, and I started to doubt myself.
Can you relate to that feeling of working so hard but still feeling like it’s never enough?
I came to realize that everyone has their own way of handling things.
What works for one person might not work for someone else, and that’s completely okay.
It’s not about doing it “right” or “wrong”; it’s about finding what works for you.
While I was figuring that out, life didn’t slow down. I earned my certifications in Life, Health, and Transformational Mastery Coaching while working full-time, caring for an elderly parent, and starting my own coaching business.
It wasn’t easy. Some days felt like too much, but it taught me so much about resilience, flexibility, and creating systems that actually made sense for me. Those lessons changed everything.
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in my 50s was a turning point. It clarified so many of my past
struggles and brought everything into focus.
On one hand, it was a relief to finally understand why I had always felt different.
On the other hand, it brought a wave of sorrow for the many years I spent feeling
inadequate and overwhelmed.
But this diagnosis also marked the beginning of a new chapter; one of
empowerment and self-discovery. It led me to further coaching certifications, targeted training,
and immense personal growth.
Today, I know that ADHD isn’t a limitation; it’s a unique lens through which I and countless others see the world.
This knowledge has shifted my perspective from self-doubt to self-acceptance,
from despair to determination. It has made all the difference.
Now, mind you, this wasn’t an overnight “Aha” moment. It required self-compassion,
mindfulness, and consistent patience with myself, along with the support of others who were
further along in the journey.
That’s why I became a certified ADHD Life Coach. I want to show others that finding balance is achievable.
You don’t have to live a life where you hide behind someone else’s lens; you can discover
your ADHD strengths and learn to thrive without hiding your true self.
