Hi Thriving friends! 💛 Let’s do a quick gut check—ADHD-style. 😄 Pick the emoji (or emojis!) that best describe how your feeling today so far: 🌪️ = Everything’s swirling, I’m riding the chaos 🔍 = I’m deep-diving into something (maybe too deep?) 📦 = Trying to get stuff done, but my brain is buffering… 🎯 = Getting the right thing done (even just one counts!) 💤 = Soul-tired. Need more rest, less pressure 🔥 = On a roll! (Which never lasts long, but I’m here for it!) 🤪 = Paused working to be silly with my kiddos…it’s summer chaos Drop your emoji (make up your own) in the comments and tell us what it means for you if you’d like. Let’s check in, laugh, support, and maybe breathe together for a sec. 🌿 P.S. However you’re feeling—you’re not behind. You’re human. And you’re part of something powerful here. 👇 What’s your emoji today?

With permission for @Katherine Lizardo, this post is about a Neurodiversity tech startup that I am a cofounder of. I am not selling thing at this point, but rather looking for input and feedback on what problems we can help solve. Then, once we have created the solutions, it would be helpful to make sure we got it right. The name of the company is "waves" (non-capitalization is intentional for branding) with a tagline of "Healing Humanity". In a nutshell, we are creating an online platform for individuals to travel a journey of self-discovery, without labels or formal diagnosis, to better understand their Neurodistinct traits and struggles. Once their journey is complete, they join a community of "like minded" individuals, to continue learning about themselves, their peers, and how to navigate the bizarre world we're all in through empathy, communication, and connection. This will be a social community, not social media. MISSION - to create a safe and educational space for individuals to explore their identity and intuitive role within the context of the neurodiversity paradigm. VISION - We envision a world without divisions of "them" and "us," where every individual has the freedom to discover and fulfill their innate purpose. ------------------------------------------------- HELP US TO HELP ALL OF US ------------------------------------------------- This is an international, non-profit organization, looking to be a centralized hub of information and resources for all types of neurodiversity. Humble as we are, we know that our small team doesn't have all the answers. THEREFORE.... I'm looking to interview people about their personal journey of self-discovery. Feel free to comment to this post, or reach out to me directly to schedule a time to chat. Sample questions: - If you have a formal diagnosis, when did you get that? - If you're self-diagnosed, when did you first suspect you have ADHD? - Does a diagnosis help you? How? - What made you start to consider that you "thought differently" and needed help? - What resource(s) do you rely on, to include medication or therapy? - What resource(s) would you refuse to use? - Would you join an online community of people with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other Neuro conditions, or would you rather it be exclusive to ADHD? - What would you want to see in an online social community, including what feature here on Skool that you like?

Here are EXACTLY the 2 things you can do now: 1️⃣: Post your responses to: (✂️copy and paste questions below on your 1st Post✂️) - What's your name? - Where are you from? - Why did you join this community? - What's your biggest challenge in reaching your goals in this community right now? Here's my example: - What's your name? Katherine - Where are you from? Plano, Texas, USA - Why did you join this community? I intend to inspire ADHD moms by cheering them on with their wins and supporting their efforts to compensate for their weaknesses. - What's your biggest challenge in reaching your goals in this community right now? Time - it'll take time to change the stigma and shame surrounding ADHD into a positive narrative. I recognize this, and I'm here for the long journey.👊 2️⃣: Learn how to unlock everything by reading this.👀
