I never gave childhood trama a thought. Somehow, throughout my years I've been able to rise above the bullying, insecurities, parential fighting, rejections, broken promises, near poverty, boys taking advantage and not being a good student. Raised as a Christian, I always had God to cry out to and He has kept me above it - knowing who I am in Christ. I also made it my super power to reinvent myself or become super outgoing everytime I met a new people group or moved. I became a fun, kind, thoughtful, caring and very loyal friend, wife and mother. But even so, I couldn't control my emotions enough as to not break down when someone was critizing me, ignoring me, and judging me - even when I knew they were right, I'd take the blame but my emotions were high. I never thought that had to do with childhood tramas or coping. I learned it so young and now I'm 59 and still reactive.

Recently, I’ve shared LOTS of free value, and in return, I asked you to actively engage, support one another, and take your check-ins seriously. And many of you have actually done just that. And... as a result, we’ve moved up from 34th to 29th place in the “self-improvement” category on Skool. The top 30. That means I’m now among the top 1% of community builders on the platform, what a huge dopamine hit this morning when I woke up to see the star emoji. But let's be real... that badge is just as much yours as it is mine. Every like, comment, check-in pushes us up. Which means more people with ADHD can now find this place and get the help they need. You're all incredible. Thank you. 🙏

“The AI helped me see that my problem isn’t motivation or discipline—it’s that I’ve structured my life where I’m responsible for everything in my house, so I never have time or energy left for my own work. I know exactly what I want to do, but I keep pushing it to the end of the day when I’m exhausted. It also pointed out that I avoid hard things like finances and tough conversations, even though I know I need to face them. So the real issue isn’t that I don’t know what to do—it’s that I’m not protecting my time, not speaking up, and I’m stuck in patterns that keep me taking care of everything except my own priorities.”

March 4th, I came into ADHD with a BANG. I was on it so much - responding and sharing - and loving it. I could do it all day but then I realized, I was hyperfocusing on the app. I guess you can hyperfocus on a good thing. I had to step back and clean my laundry room and kitchen which was a big win - and I had to do laundry and all those non-dopamine tasks. I also had to help my son with his homework - and during that time I spilled my tall coffee mug and it landed on my laptop. It died. I didn't have my laptop for few days and even missed the first session because of it, but I pulled out my 2013 macbook pro dinosaure (still on High Sierra), and I'm back. Yeah, it's slow (I'll update it to Mojave soon), but it works (sort of). I'm sorry I was off the grid. I’m ready to do some WINS now. I missed talking to you all.
