About us
This group is a community lab for ADHDers, the self-identified, and the "Allies" (partners, parents, and managers) who support them. We believe ADHD isn't a deficit to be fixed, but a unique "Machine" to be decoded.
Our goal is to move beyond standard productivity hacks. We provide a shared language for ADHDers and neurotypical allies to understand the ADHD lens, reduce the friction of "masking," and stop the cycle of burnout and resentment.
Who should join? You don’t need a formal diagnosis to be here. Whether you are navigating your own executive function gaps or trying to better support someone who is, you are welcome. We are a space for professionals, rebels, and seekers looking for real tools—like the AFEEMA model—to start thriving.
What to expect
- Interactive Labs: Deep dives into energy, focus, and connection.
- Safe Space: A community that values the "Real You" over your "Performance."
- Actionable Tools: Strategies you can use the same day to find your flow.

Stop trying to "fix" your brain and start learning how to drive it.
Do you ever feel like a high-performance engine being forced to run on the wrong fuel? You know what you should be doing, but the "ignition" just won't turn over. In this 60-minute interactive lab, we are moving past standard productivity hacks to look "under the hood" at your biological Machine.The Agenda:
- 12:00 PM – 12:05 PM: The "State" Shift check-in.
- 12:05 PM – 12:15 PM: The Machine vs. The Mind (Understanding the EF Gap).
- 12:15 PM – 12:40 PM: The AFEEMA Audit (Live exercise to find your brain's specific bottleneck).
- 12:40 PM – 12:50 PM: The 2-Minute Ignition (A tactical tool to jumpstart any "stalled" task).
- 12:50 PM – 1:00 PM: Open Q&A and community connection.
What to bring: Please have a pen and a piece of paper (or a digital tablet) ready. We will be performing a live audit of your Executive Functioning, and you’ll want to map out your results in real-time.

The "Abundance" Gift: This session is a condensed version of the paid strategy sessions I provide to private clients. I am offering this to our community for free because when the "Executive Function Gap" is closed, the brilliance is unstoppable.

ADHD & Relationships: Workshop For All
·OnlineOnline🌟 PART 2 OF 3: ADHD With Distracted Dreams Series: This workshop is a deep-dive lab for ADHDers and their Allies. While each session stands alone, they are designed to work together to move you from friction to abundance.
👉 RSVP for the full series and grab your future resources at: www.distracteddreams.com/workshops (Signing up here ensures you receive the Class 1 Replay and future resources.)
The Event: From "Nagging" to Real Connection Does your relationship ever feel like a series of performance reviews? Whether you have ADHD or you love someone who does, it is easy to fall into a cycle of "managing" rather than partnering. This 60-minute interactive lab helps you move past the "What" (the chores and missed deadlines) and reconnect with the "Who"—the person you actually care about.
The Agenda:
- The "Who vs. What" Shift: Learn to build a relationship based on character rather than just performance.
- The Castle & Moat Metaphor: A visual tool to define your core values and set boundaries that feel like protection, not rejection.
- The Scripting Lab: Practice the Four Steps to Boundaries to communicate your needs clearly and without apology.
What to Bring: Please have a pen and paper (or a digital tablet) ready for our "Castle & Moat" live mapping exercise.
