First and foremost, my perspective about myself and my life [have changed]. And by extension, my self-talk. I still have ADHD. I'm still prone to making piles all around my house and putting off shit I don't want to do, but I have established routines that keep me on track an a number of tricks/tools for getting through the hard days. And I've shifted from beating myself up about my perceived shortcomings (I'm messy! There's always dishes in the sink! I'm always late! etc) to understanding that these things I've been conditioned to feel shame around are, first, morally neutral and second, related to my disability. So I can meet myself where I'm at and use my energy to figure out accommodations instead of to try to force my brain to work against itself.

Plus, fidget toys. I have fidget toys now! 

You give tools, not solutions. That might sound counterintuitive for healing/growing but those of us that have grown up neurodivergent (and undiagnosed) are drowning in solutions most of our lives. And guess what? No solution, no matter how thorough or well intentioned, ever works. Not always, and not all the way. Bc our "symptoms" are not problems to be fixed - they are innate patterns in our brains. So instead of approaching from a framework of "how can you fix yourself?" You approach from a framework of "how do you make these patterns work for what you need?" It eliminates shame, and failure from the equation. And it fucking works - I am not fixed but I am figuring out how to thrive.

Working with Neely has been a game changer! Neely has helped me navigate the wild ride of my mind with humor, relatability, and practical strategies. No judgement, just genuine support.

When I met Neely, I immediately felt “seen” by her, without judgement for all of my ND challenges. She helped me get more focus and break down the tasks into smaller chunks so I could act on them. 

It was a pleasure spending time and working with her.

My initial session with Neely was extremely grounding, the conversation gave me an unbiased third party perspective into my chaotic mind allowing me to gain clarity to the thoughts I was having. I've been mentally referring to the guidance given to me in the session in times of need which has personally given me a massive amount of mental relief.

Working with Neely has been a truly life-changing experience. From our very first session, she created a safe and non-judgmental space where I immediately felt seen, understood, and accepted. She’s great at asking powerful, insightful, and absolutely mindblowing questions that help you get to the heart of things quickly. She asks questions that encourage you to think about, “But what if it doesn’t have to be this way?” Her thoughtful approach helped me quickly uncover and address deep-seated issues that had been holding me back for years.

After a lifetime of masking, Neely empowered me to reframe my mindset, allowing me to finally see and advocate for myself. Today, I no longer feel the need to hide who I am or my needs in any aspect of my life. Thanks to Neely, I feel confident and whole for the first time ever. If you’re seeking an ADHD coach who truly understands and supports you, I highly recommend Neely—she’s the bee’s knees.

Before coaching, I was stuck, burned out and paralyzed by indecision. Life felt completely overwhelming and I felt like I was constantly just treading water, on the knifes edge of drowning. And it had taken years of therapy to even get to this point of even being able to get my head above water. 

Coaching helped to address some of the things I was not able to see were still weighing me down. And gave me resources to figure out which direction I wanted to head towards. 

I have more resources and community connections now. I am more self-aware than I was before coaching. I am kinder and gentler to myself. My problem solving, motivation, and emotional regulation has improved.

Being able to talk with someone who is trauma informed and AuDHD makes a huge difference. There are some inherent things that just cannot be explained. 

I really appreciate the gentle structured but flexible approach that Neely uses in her coaching sessions. The coaching tracker helped me keep track of what we had talked about, what I wanted to work on, and what resources are available to me. It is really great that I always have it to refer back to. 

One of the epiphanies I had as a result of our coaching sessions was that I have been just as afraid of success as I have been afraid of failure. It was a CPTSD response, and a key piece of my decision paralysis. It is great to have forward momentum, I am excited about life again. Thanks for being a part of that Neely!

I could say so much about her, but Neely has been such a driving force in my life. I really admire and relate to her desire to empower, motivate, and support others. You can tell that she really wants everyone to be able to become the best that they have always hoped to be and that she sees in people.

She has lived experience to back up her practice, and she is always very insightful when she weighs in with her input and feedback. She has depth and is ready to explore the depths of her clients with them and pull them up when they feel that they are drowning. She is like a lighthouse when you are lost at sea. I cannot thank or speak highly of her enough.

I tell my boyfriend and close friends about her or about how I'm in coaching in general and I usually radiate an immense amount of gratitude and enthusiasm when I bring it up.
