Hi! I’m Christy Lingo…
The ADHD Mompreneur
I spent more than a decade in and out of several neurotypical coaching programs. I jumped from program to program, trying to figure out what was wrong with me and why I couldn't seem to see the success others were seeing.
So I totally get the frustration and overwhelm many ADHD entrepreneurs feel.
And that is why I created my mom-centered, executive function coaching program for you.
You’ve tried all the things and they don’t seem to work for you - and the reason they don’t work isn’t because of anything you’re doing wrong, but because your brain just works differently.
Learning how my unique ADHD brain operates along with my ADHD diagnosis helped me realize that I could develop a successful business IF I enlisted support to help me stay focused and motivated.
Not working longer hours.
Not hustling more.
But by creating an eco-system of strategies and support that work with my ADHD rather than struggling against it.
...ADHD has advantages like enthusiasm, creativity, and hyperfocus.
...an ADHD diagnosis provides insight into how our brain operates & how our needs differ.
...we should appreciate our struggles and failures as learning opportunities.
...taking care of ourselves is essential to take care of others.
My ADHD Entrepreneurial Journey
When I started my entrepreneurial journey as a professional organizer in 2009, I discovered a few of my clients were diagnosed with ADHD. I joined the Institute for Challenging Disorganization where I earned certificates in working with ADHD populations so I could know how to serve them best.
Fast forward to the pandemic and home schooling and spending every waking minute with my children. I noticed many ADHD symptoms in my youngest son. Upon his diagnosis and learning ADHD is genetic, I decided to have myself evaluated. Lo and behold...I, too, was part of the ADHD squad.
So many pieces fell into place in relation to my life as mom and entrepreneur when I received my diagnosis. I finally understood my motivation struggles, my task initiation struggles, my squirrel brain, and more.
That is why I wanted to develop this coaching program...because I saw the need for a mom-centered, executive function supporting program designed for the unique needs of an ADHD entrepreneur and mom.
