Paula helps adults with ADHD work with their brains, not against them, to cut through overwhelm and get things done.
ADHD Coach, Productivity Strategist, I'm Busy Being Awesome podcast host
About me
Paula spent 31 years thinking she needed to try harder, carrying crushing self-doubt and imposter syndrome, until an ADHD diagnosis in 2016 during a faculty training changed how she understood her own brain.
As a self-described former scattered professor, Paula knows firsthand the overwhelm of juggling multiple priorities and the frustration of watching conventional productivity methods fail. She left academia to become an ADHD coach, helping fellow adults with ADHD work with their brains instead of against them.
Her coaching helps clients cut through the overwhelm of endless tasks, build personalized scaffolding and systems that fit their unique brains, prioritize what matters, and create more space for rest. Her core message: it's not about trying harder, it's about building a system that actually works for you.
Paula shares practical strategies through her podcast, I'm Busy Being Awesome, and works with clients through private and group coaching.
