ADHD Coaching for a Focused &

Life

Faithful

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

I will be found by you,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 29:11-14

Hi, I'm Dawn.

Hey fellow ADHDer, you're in the right place.

As an ADHD Coach, I have over a decade of experience working with ADHD & EFD.

I work with women and college students. My specialty is teaching you about the many ways ADHD impacts your life from a biblical & research-based perspective. I help you discover the most effective strategies for thriving with YOUR ADHD. My goal is to help you change your thinking, strategies and outcomes. Keep in mind I have ADHD & severe Executive Functioning Disorder myself, so I get how & why you think the way you think & do the things you do (or don't do!).

✊🏽 International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination ✊🏽

As a Black, multi-racial woman of Trinidadian, White, French, Chinese, Carib Indian, Scotch, and Spanish heritage, I carry a rich tapestry of cultures and histories within me. This diversity is a gift from God, reflecting the beautiful complexities of His creation. This day is especially important in the ADHD Community, which still harbors great disparity for equitable access to ADHD support for black and brown ADHDers.

Today, I stand against racism in all its forms and commit to promoting love, equality, and justice—values that align with God’s call for us to love one another (John 13:34). I am asking the Lord to show me where racism lives in me, and to expose it so He and I can kill it together.

🌸 Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸

As a conservative Christian and feminist, I celebrate this day as a reminder of God’s unique design for women and our rightful place as equal participants in His kingdom and the world.

True feminism isn’t about competition or erasing differences; it’s about ensuring equal access to opportunities and equal outcomes for everyone, while honoring the God-given dignity of both women and men.

Proverbs 31:25 says, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” That’s the kind of bold, faithful woman I aspire to be—and I believe all women should have the support and freedom to live in their God-given purpose.

Let’s use this day to celebrate women’s achievements, support each other, and advocate for justice and opportunity for all.

To my Valentine. Harry, you know I was never planning on getting married. Who can ever compare to you? You are my one-off 🤣. I never imagined we could build a marriage like we have. We have been through so much, and divorce was an option for a long time. But Christ has done the most amazing work in us, and you have fought to be the man He has called you to be in these 28 years of life together. You are the only person who has ever known me fully and still loved me. You see my limitations, and you let me see yours. You are a glorious person to know fully and to love. You are larger than life in my heart, and I adore you. Tomorrow is not promised, so as you say, let's leave nothing on the table when it comes to this marriage. I love you Harry. You are the first real love of my life and you will be the last.

Sheri, you are extraordinary and brave and kind and tender and beautiful. Happy 21st Birthday!

For all of us who have loved ones fighting this fight, or we are fighting it ourselves, may Christ help us to suffer well. My we allow Him to make us holier in this process, and may He heal completely.

New Year’s resolutions can feel like setting ourselves up for failure 😔. For us ADHDers, the pressure to stay consistent often leads to burnout or frustration. Instead of resolutions, let’s try flexible goal-setting this year.

🎯 Focus on small, achievable steps.
🙏 Incorporate prayer for guidance.
✨ Celebrate progress, no matter how small.

Let’s ditch the pressure and embrace grace for 2025! What’s one small step you’re taking this year? 💬

Micro-Habits are one of the most proven strategies for task initiation, and getting started is one of our biggest challenges with reaching our goals. Big goals can overwhelm our ADHD brains, but small habits create lasting change.

🌟 Here’s one to try: Pray every morning for 2 minutes before looking at your phone. SET AN ALARM TO REMIND YOU!
🌟 Or this: Write down ONE task to focus on each day.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up. What’s one micro-habit you can start today? Share it below! 📝

Mornings can be chaotic, but with ADHD, structure is our best friend. Try this routine:

1️⃣ Pray for 5 minutes.
2️⃣ Drink a glass of water.
3️⃣ Write down your top 3 priorities.
4️⃣ Set a timer for your first task.

What’s your favorite morning routine tip? Let’s build mornings that feel manageable! ☀️

You know what I dislike about the current ADHD narrative? It errs on 2 ends of the judgement spectrum: innocent or guilty. Both put YOU at the center and you are not equipped for that spot. The truth is (I believe) more complex. We are at once at the mercy of our neurology and yet in submission to the One Who is God Over It. We are active agents in our lives and yet only able to work with the neurological machinery Christ gave us. So we are responsible for our chronic missed deadlines but able to kill shame if we love the way Christ designed us. YOUR ADHD SERVES A PURPOSE. You are here for a reason!! ADHD IS A REASON, but not an excuse. If you want to learn more about what that looks like, I’m here.

Prayer for our Task Initiation this morning!

This is one of my favorite things about being 50. I know who to keep, who to love close, who to love from afar, who to let go of gently with a hope for future intimacy and who to leave outright, bold-faced and unapologetically.

I learned so much from my grandparents! I am so grateful for the times I had with them. When my mother was having a hard time, they helped raise me-they took me in to live with them-TWICE. Both times were in Honduras, where my grandfather was stationed with US-AID.

If you have good grandparents in your life, you are truly blessed!

Struggling to find a work-life balance? Here are some tips to try to help you manage. #WellnessWednesday
.
-Prioritize: Break down tasks into smaller, more manageable pieces & rank them by importance & deadline. Focus on high-priority tasks first.
-Schedule: Create a structured daily schedule with specific time slots for work, breaks, & personal activities. Stick to the schedule as much as possible.
-Take breaks: Schedule breaks between tasks to allow for mental & physical transitions & prevent prolonged periods of hyperfocus.
-Use tools: Use a planner or digital tool to schedule tasks, appointments, & personal engagements. You can also set up reminders on your computer or on paper.
-Minimize distractions: Ask to work in a quiet space where you won't be easily distracted. Set aside specific time slots for answering emails & voicemails so they don't interrupt your other responsibilities.
-Develop routines: Develop routines, such as opening & responding to emails first thing in the morning & again at lunchtime.
-Consider your mental health: Anxiety can often co-occur with ADHD, especially in relation to work & home life. Taking steps to address anxiety can be an important aspect of work-life balance.
-Delegate: When feasible, delegate more tasks.
-Communicate effectively: Express your needs & challenges effectively.

Our faith gives us unsurpassed resources for handling the gifts and weaknesses our ADHD can bring. For me, it helps me to make sense of my days and inner narrative when I look at it through a biblical lens, knowing that Christ has perfect executive functioning and He is able to help me in my executive functioning weaknesses.

Happy International Dog Day! When I was a kid growing up in Atlanta, I loved my dogs!! One of our favorite things was to howl together (which is what we are doing in this picture). Give your poochies some love today!
#internationaldogday

Today we had to say goodbye to Chloe, our family dog. She was 13. She had been deteriorating this summer and took a turn for the worse the last 10 days. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful family dog she was to us. The perfect dog, really. Chloe had a huge purpose for her life: be an excellent dog for all 7 of the Swaynes, in all the seasons of their lives that she was a member of our pack. Chloe walked with us through toddlers, preschoolers, elementary school, middle school and high school. She watched 4 of her little masters go to college. She was the most emotionally intuitive dog I ever had. She fulfilled her purpose gloriously. Well done Chloe. No more pain for you poochie poo. You can rest now. 🥺🥺🥺

Today we spotlight Dr. Russell Barkley, an internationally recognized authority on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD) in children & adults who has dedicated his career to widely disseminating science-based information about ADHD. I am a total fangirl over his books & resources. If you are looking for resources to deepen your learning of ADHD, I highly recommend starting with his resources. I draw on his research a great deal in the classes I offer in my ADHD coaching programs. 🌟 #SpotlightSaturday #ADHDSupport"
