FOCUS&FUEL
ADHD & Executive Functions Coach
Focus, Fuel & Flourishing
What I love about my work as an ADHD coach are the ah-ha moments. It’s when a client grasps why something is overwhelming, finds relief by reframing their mindset, recognizes their wins, or realizes that a goal not reached is simply a goal not reached yet. It’s about empowering professionals and executives with ADHD to control their actions and consequences. This focus bolsters their well-being.

"I started working with Amy because I was tired of feeling like life with ADHD did not have to be so hard. I was exhausted and unhappy."—J. B.
My Story
I finally realized I'm living proof that TINY TWEAKS lead to BIG WINS.
There I was, three kids, a dog, a house in the burbs, a cabin in the woods, plus a job I loved. If only I didn’t feel like every day was a scramble. I constantly took on too much and sacrificed movement and self-care. I often went to bed feeling restless and underachieved. I believed skipping a workout allowed me to get more done, but my to-do list remained. My back ached. My head was foggy. And my battle between what I “needed” to do and what I wanted to do was constant.
My problem was not appreciating the connection between exercise, sleep, and the brain. I wish I had known then that, like our bodies, our brains need movement and rest to stay crisp and calm. My wake up call was when my kids started asking “Mom, have you gotten outside for a run today?" Not only was my back stiff and my brain murky, I was edgy.
I finally understood that exercise is my therapy AND began prioritizing it. Taking the first step was hard, but I committed to a friend and joined her morning runs. To my surprise, the house did not burn down, and my kids learned to set their own alarm clocks. I felt better, slept better, ate regularly, and was no longer pent up at the end of the day. Everyday, I checked things off my to-do list and still had time for things I enjoy. My back felt limber, and so did my brain. All this because I said "yes" to joining a friend… one. small. change.
Years later, FOCUS & FUEL was born, inspired by that transformative step. And yes, I'm still chasing sunrises on morning runs. Remember, your biggest win might be just a tiny tweak away.
