When I started with Marla, I thought I just needed the right organizational system because I came to this thinking it was just like an engineering problem. But it wasn’t. We got into how I thought and felt. We really got into my relationship with things like my work, commitments and planning. I think it…
I knew what I should have been doing, but wasn’t doing it. Like doing deep thinking and setting aside “me time.” Looking back, I wonder why I wasn’t doing these things all along. Maybe I didn’t have the proof that it was the right thing to do. Now that I’ve used the strategies, I know…
I have been for help many times, and I’d gotten to the point where I thought I was so unusual that there was no help. But now I know it was because people were giving me models, like GTD, that did not work for me because the models did not work with how my brain…
When I decided to try out coaching things were really messy and I couldn’t move in any direction. It’s far from perfect now. But that’s okay because I don’t get hung up on being perfect anymore.

I get it now. I understand why I do what I do and how to address my ADD challenges. I’m not just walking around scared of what will happen next. Honestly, when I started coaching I wasn’t sure it would help. For so long I just ignored my challenges and didn’t think I could change…

I didn’t see any avenues to adjust and couldn’t effectively keep on top of the whirlwind. Even though I felt scrambled and overwhelmed before it was too difficult to talk to others to get help because they didn’t get what it is like to be an ADHD Adult. So it was helpful working with Marla…
Just wanted to say that your newsletters are really great. Always relevant, warm and wise! Thank you!
I’ve never felt as hopeful as I am now. Marla’s reassuring voice and straightforward manner helped me to internalize a consistent approach to each problem. Before I was frazzled, couldn’t do what I needed to do and felt like a fraud professionally. When things weren’t working before, I saw it as a personal failing. We…
While working with Marla, I have been able to move into a career that I have always wanted to be in. I spent many years with undiagnosed ADHD, not knowing why I had such difficulty with staying focused, starting projects and having difficulty finishing them, unable to prioritize what I needed to do in my…
