After having my third child, I hit a wall.
I couldn’t keep up—with anything. The emotional load of motherhood, the expectations of being a “good” wife, and the constant hustle of running a business became too much. I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and buried in guilt.
So, like many women do, I went on antidepressants.
And they helped—at least at first.
They numbed the sadness. They dulled the edges of the overwhelm. But they didn’t fix what was underneath: the crushing pressure to be everything to everyone.
As women, we’re handed impossible standards.
If you’re not a Pinterest-perfect mom making everything from scratch, you’re not trying hard enough. If you’re not working full-time, then why isn’t your house immaculate and your kids eating bento box lunches?
That pressure was silently breaking me.
The Turning Point
After three years, I knew I needed something different.
Not because medication is wrong—I’ll never shame someone for using it. For me, it was one piece of the healing process. But I was ready to start feeling again. I wanted to reconnect with who I was beneath the fog.
So, I started making small changes.
I didn’t overhaul my entire life overnight. I didn’t suddenly “figure it all out.” But I committed to little shifts—ones that worked with my ADHD brain, not against it.
I began eating in ways that stabilized my energy and mood.
I set boundaries around my time and emotional load.
I started prioritizing rest, movement, and nervous system regulation.
I let go of perfectionism and chose self-compassion.
Slowly, I was able to reduce my antidepressants—and eventually go off them completely.
Four Years Off—and Still Going
That was four years ago. I’ve been off medication ever since.
Let me be honest—there are still really hard days. Days when I forget to take care of myself. Days when the guilt creeps back in. Days when I wonder if I need medication again.
But the difference now?
I have tools. I have awareness. I have a plan. And I’ve learned how to prioritize myself without guilt.
This journey isn’t about pretending life is perfect. It’s about building the resilience to face it with support and strategies that actually work for your brain.
If You’re Ready, I Can Help
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure how to begin—I’ve been there. I help women with ADHD take back control of their energy, mood, and mind.
Not with crash diets or 30-day fixes.
But with real-life, practical support:
ADHD-friendly food and eating strategies
Time and energy management for chaotic brains
Small self-care shifts that actually stick
Emotional regulation tools that don’t require perfection
Most of the changes I made (and now teach) are simple and free. You don’t need a total life transformation—just a small, intentional first step.
Want to feel like yourself again—but don’t know where to start?
You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You just haven’t been given the right tools.
I’ll show you how to make food, time, and self-care work for your ADHD brain.
You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve got you.
