  • Trying to relax and do "nothing" with ADHD
  • Not allowing ADHD to define your life
  • Rethinking our thinking
  • Being black and having ADHD
  • The mental health challenges that come with ADHD

Jay is helping ADHD creatives & entrepreneurs smash goals and LIVE LIFE! Through her coaching work, she is aiming to empower her clients to know that ADHD doesn't have to define your life and that you CAN be confident, do amazing things and appreciate your own awesomeness.
