Real me, ADHD & authenticity

 

 

Childhood Fire

When I was a kid, I had fire in me.

I loved learning, I was very curious.  At my small neighborhood school, teachers were sweet and the corridors were full of kid’s drawings.  It almost felt like a second home.

I felt free, alive, and in my element

I was shining. I was top of my class.

 

Losing Myself

However, my mother (& teachers) worried I wasn’t being challenged enough. She transferred me to a bigger, more prestigious school, much further from home, where I left at 7h15am & got back home at 5pm & did homework all night long.

It was colder. More performance‑driven. The kind of place that polishes you into someone “successful.” But something in me got lost.  Teachers were serious, there were no drawings in the corridors only bare grey concrete walls.  It was cold.

I had to dress like everyone else. Think like everyone else. Not ask questions, just follow and be silent.

This was not me.

So I did what many of us do: I put on a mask and went on with my days. From the outside, I looked like a happy, thriving teenager. Inside, I was slowly shrinking.  Occasionally, I rebelled. But it was short lived, a waste of time, nobody cared.

What I didn’t know then was that I had ADHD — not the hyperactive stereotype, but the quiet, internal kind that hides & daydreams of freedom.

Instead of being supported, I was told to fit in, focus harder, be more like everyone else.
But formulas and labels never fit me.  The more a teacher wanted me to comply with strick rules, the more tuned out I got.

I wasn’t going to be a doctor, an engineer, or a financial analyst. I didn’t want a path — I wanted wings.

I wanted to be free.
An actor. An entrepreneur. A diplomat.
Something meaningful. Something unconventional.

 

Authenticity and Freedom

Even as a young adult, I knew my compass: authenticity and freedom.

After university, my path veered far from my classmates. While many followed traditional careers, I chose creativity, communication, and humanity.

I worked in advertising, PR, and promotions. I built campaigns, told stories, and created experiences that moved people.

What always pulled me was this:

People
Stories
Realness
The spark behind the surface

 

The Real Me, Now

Today, years later, I feel more me than ever.

I still don’t follow the rules. I’ve made peace with that. In fact, I celebrate it.

Understanding my ADHD was a turning point — not a limitation, but a lens.
It explained my fire, my intuition, my creativity, my resistance to boxes that were never meant for me.
It helped me reclaim the parts of myself I had buried to survive.

My passion is helping others reconnect with who they really are — the version of themselves that existed before the world told them who to be.

I guide women to realign with what truly matters. To rise with purpose and courage.

That kid with fire in her eyes still lives in me. And now, I help others find their fire too.

I am a certified ADHD coach, it’s my passion.

 

Let’s Begin

If you’re tired of performing and ready to feel like yourself again, I invite you to walk with me.

Let’s peel off the mask.

Let’s listen to your truth.
Let’s build a life from the inside out —
Where head meets heart, and purpose begins.

You don’t have to do it alone.  I’m here for you.

Reconnect. Realign. Rise.
