It’s been two years since my mother’s abuse became clear to me. I’d always known it from a distance, of course, but it took me until my 30s to fully realize and cut the umbilical cord that she kept like a leash around my neck. Is it any wonder that I failed to realize for so long? There are so many kinds of childhood abuse, after all, and even the ACEs questionnaire doesn’t quite reflect the full extent of the actions that can affect a child’s development into a fully developed adult.

open to learning and growing, you will gain something from every experience.This is the mindset I had way back then, even though I didn’t realize it. It wasn’t until I looked back at the various life experiences that I saw how each played a role in my success as a coach.

This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” This quote embodies what I have learned along my journey to get to where I am today. It wasn’t always easy, but it was always educational. There were plenty of ups, downs, successes, and most significantly, failures because this is where the majority of my growth came from.Failure is the greatest teacher we have in life, so when it teaches us something, we owe it to our future selves to pay attention and learn. This life journey is also where I acquired numerous stories, lessons, and wisdom that would benefit myself and every other individual I have coached over the years.

Since being diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve faced a number of comments that may not have seemed harmful on the surface, but they actually stung a bit, or hurt my feelings. Sometimes people may not have bad intentions or try to make hurtful comments, but the impact is what really matters. As the person on the receiving end, it can also be exhausting or difficult to think of what to say in that moment, so I made a little script or cheat sheet of how I can respond. 

After being hospitalized for attempting suicide, I could not work for two years. I started writing articles sharing my mental health challenges under an alias name because I was embarrassed and ashamed. My biggest fear was employers seeing my articles and viewing me as unreliable, incompetent, and “crazy.” When I started applying to jobs and got to the section asking me to disclose if I had a disability, I always selected no. Two of the disabilities on the list were major depressive and bipolar disorder, and I received both diagnoses.
