Hi - I’m Verna. Recovering perfectionist, multi-hyphenate, and dopamine phene.

And yes, I have ADHD.

About me

I always knew I was different, but could never figure it out why. I could excel in my career, but couldn’t keep the piles of laundry together. I could plan and execute a 3,000 person event, but couldn’t find my keys. It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ADHD at 39 and everything changed.

My diagnosis sent me down a rabbit hole. Reading, researching, watching everything I could (we call this hyper-focus) to learn about ADHD. This led me to finding an ADHD coach. Through coaching, I was able to start understanding how my brain worked and start using it to my advantage. I was finally able to shut out the noise of the world and focus on finding the tools to build a life I love.

This intentional work led me to the ADD Coach Academy where I am completing my ADHD Coaching Certification through the International Coaching Federation.

Your ADHD is your superpower. It gives you motivation and drive, but unfortunately – it’s not always appreciated and can make life hard (hello piles).

You are special and have a gift. Let me help you harness your superpower to build a life you love and deserve.
