My ADHD Journey is Like Many of Yours - Long + Complicated!
But This Isn't a Sad Story: it's an empowering one of overcoming stereotypes, shame, and judgment that come along for the ride, especially back in the 90's.
Early Life and Challenges
I grew up in the small town of Erin countryside in a bustling household of six. Life was fun, laid-back, nature-filled and no internet, and unlimited outdoor adventures.
From an early age, my hyperactive ADHD traits were obvious, especially compared to my neurotypical twin brother’s behavior — neurotypical refers to someone without a neurodevelopmental condition.
Back in the '90s, ADHD was seen as a 'Pain in the A$$.' Diagnosed at 15, labeled a troublemaker and my insomnia and seasonal depression added to my struggles (p.s all related).
Meds meant to cure me made me feel awful, and numbed out my creativity and spirit. So I've embraced a holistic life since.
At that time, there were no resources to help me understand ADHD's impact or benefits
—YES, there are benefits!
I felt alone, isolated, and misunderstood for simply being me! Society, teachers, and peers told me I wouldn’t amount to much because of my ADHD. This led me on a journey of self-discovery, shaped by the stark contrast between my twin and me.
Enriched by a culturally diverse background, I've lived, traveled, and worked internationally in 25+ countries within the music, entertainment, and arts industries, where neurodiversity thrives, collaborating with hundreds of fellow ADHD souls.
Sure, there have been plenty of hardships along the way without ADHD support. But hey, it's all part of the journey, right?
I've created an ADHD-Friendly lifestyle infused with international adventures, work, and education, transforming my challenges into opportunities by leveraging my ADHD strengths.
From the serene Ontario countryside to the vibrant streets of Paris, Tulum, Mumbai, Beirut, São Paulo and Dubai, my journey celebrates living boldly with ADHD.
My Life and Career Have Been Fueled by My ADHD Traits
— Risk-Taking, Curiosity, Rebellion, Defiance, Intuition, Impulsivity, Relentless Drive and Effort, and a Love for Sweet Dopamine Hits of Traveling into the Unknown.
I Didn't Need Science to Prove ADHD's Existence
—I Lived and Felt its Impact + Benefits Daily!
My life became a research field, offering real-time insights into our duality and differences. I'm talking Mac vs. Windows different—two different operating systems.~Clearly, I'm the creative Mac!
Early on, I realized school and the world weren't built for my brain. My unique needs and strengths were often mistaken for bad behavior, resulting in being yelled at, called names, and punished.
The constant negative feedback fueled my rebellious nature, turning me into an angry, defiant, and aggressive wild child, eventually leading me to being kicked out of school—not reflective of my true self but a defense against punishment for being different. Outlets like partying became my escape during my teens.
Feeling pressured to conform, I masked myself to fit in, which made me resent school and care less about grades. Solid C's were my norm, except in art and gym where my creativity and high energy thrived.
Despite being unfairly labeled as "bad" and "stupid," I was actually very smart, but just so under-stimulated and uninspired by the traditional system. I'm sure many of you can relate!
Meanwhile, I watched my twin soar academically—a really tough time for me, to say the least!
Navigating Life's Challenges on My Own Was Tough, but It Became a Chance for Self-Discovery and Freedom!
After high school, feeling directionless and disconnected from my small-town environment, my deep connection to urban music led me into the nightlife scene.
Numbing my symptoms with drinking and partying unexpectedly opened up a landslide of opportunities in the international music industry.
At 18, I moved out, worked retail jobs, and immersed myself in nightclub culture, racking up massive debt due to impulsive, dopamine-driven shopping sprees and vacations. Money and I eventually made peace, but being in survival mode for years was not cute.
However, this newfound independence allowed me to retrain my brain to work with my ADHD, giving me the freedom to live, work, and travel on my terms and design a lifestyle that leverages my strengths.
At 19, I organized my First Sold-Out Hip Hop event in Guelph with my friends and street team flyer promotions. Recognizing my entrepreneurial potential, they encouraged me to pursue more events.
This marked the beginning of my journey into the music industry, leading to success in college—where I thrived creatively—followed by ventures in Toronto and organizing celebrity urban music events.
Breaking Free and Finding My Path!
Driven by My ADHD Strengths: I Took a Bold Risk at 26:
leaving my comfortable life for my dream journey into the unknown.
It started with an invitation from my dear friend living in Zurich, Switzerland which paved the way to my dream job as the Music Marketing Manager at Universal Records in Dubai.
There, I worked alongside legendary famous and indie neurodiverse musicians, DJs, and producers, expanding my musical palette with the sweet rhythms + exotic melodies of Afro Beats, Arabic Fusion, and world music.
Following Dubai, I immersed myself in London's vibrant music scenes of
Brick Lane, Hoxton, and Camden.
The Power of Neurodiversity in Music, The Arts, and Entertainment
Imagine a world without music, dance, fine art, or entertainment.
Throughout my career in the music, arts, and entertainment industries, and as an artist myself, I've witnessed firsthand how neurodiversity thrives and is practically the norm.
Working with hundreds of neurodiverse musicians, rappers, producers, DJs, choreographers, videographers, and more, I've witnessed how tapping into ADHD traits—such as sensory sensitivities, impulsivity, curiosity, creativity, rebellion, defiance, a pursuit of dopamine hits, and a drive for more— can transform into strengths that empower us to lead incredibly successful lives.
Neurodiversity is the heart and soul of the music, arts, and entertainment industries, enriching them with diverse perspectives and groundbreaking creativity, serving as their essential foundation.
Not to mention there are thousands of us thriving with ADHD! Yet, our stories often remain untold.
Fortunately, I've witnessed this success time and time again, a testament to our extraordinary potential and contribution to the neurotypical world that wasn't even built for us to thrive in.
Exploring 25+ countries—from Italy, Thailand, Spain, Kuwait, Jamaica, Indonesia, to the Maldives - alongside incredibly successful ADHD souls and on my own adventures.
This is the life I was told I couldn't achieve, yet I navigated it in my unique, creative way!
Witnessing firsthand that ADHD exists in every corner of this world, I love the creativity, diversity and resilience of our global community.
Every place I've explored, from Trinidad to Jordan, has left a lasting imprint on my soul, like cherished stamps in my passport.
I weave these diverse experiences-the sights, sounds, tastes, and essence of each community—into the tapestry of my life. This eclectic blend enriches my life and finds its way into my coaching style and events, which I share with my community.
The world has served as my most profound self-development and transformation playground, and travel remains my greatest teacher as I continue to learn and grow as a forever student.
Embracing Risks and Exploring the World!
I've Transformed in a Way That Is Unrecognizable,
Taking the Path Less Traveled!
What Am I Doing Now?
Gone are the days as an angry and aggressive kid—thankfully, because she was exhausting! And I know my younger me would be proud of my transformation.
My journey now includes thriving beyond survival mode, Finally!
I live minimally, often beachside between Mexico and Canada, in a deeply loving and meaningful ADHD relationship, proudly child-free. I travel, coach, and host neurodiverse retreats worldwide, debt-free, and embrace my spiritual path.
It's not perfect, but that's the beauty—perfection halts growth.
Despite the challenges my ADHD presents, I've embraced my rebellious, creative, impulsive, curious, and risk-taking abilities. I've used them to empower me to break through the shame, barriers, and stigmas that come along for the ride.
My story speaks to the power of determination, mindset, self-discovery, and self-acceptance. Fortunately, I turned out mostly unharmed.
Although there's much more to my story, we'll have to connect over a café :)

I felt a calling to share my journey and support the community because I've experienced the loneliness, isolation, and profound misunderstanding of not fitting into neurotypical expectations.

That's why I decided to channel decades of international experience, artistry, courses, research, and certified training into becoming a coach and wellness event curator.
