I’m not a doctor or a psychologist, and I don’t claim to have all the answers. But what I do offer is my story—a deeply personal account of struggle, discovery, and triumph. Through trial and error, I’ve developed strategies that truly work, blending evidence-based insights with the lived reality of managing ADHD and PMDD.

It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I uncovered the truth: ADHD and PMDD were intricately linked, amplifying each other in ways I hadn’t understood. After self-diagnosing ADHD through Dr. Gabor Maté’s Scattered Minds, the pieces began to fit—the impulsivity, hyperfocus, and constant overwhelm. But something still felt unmanageable. That’s when I discovered PMDD and how hormonal changes before my period made ADHD symptoms—brain fog, emotional swings, and exhaustion—even more intense.

For two weeks every month, I felt like I was drowning. I’m sharing this because I know many women feel the same—juggling it all but dropping every ball, wondering why they’re so scattered and overwhelmed. Learning about this connection changed my life, giving me the tools to heal, be kinder to myself, and live with more balance. I wrote this book to share that “Healing Journey” (hence the book name), to help you understand your own experience, and to show you that you’re not broken, you’re not alone—and there’s a way forward.
