Adult ADHD Foundations

Who this program is for

You don't need more discipline.
You need to understand how your brain actually works.

Whether your diagnosis is recent or you're still waiting for assessment, Adult ADHD Foundations gives you a structured, weekly space to understand the patterns underneath the day-to-day struggle, and practical tools to try alongside them.

This program is for you if:

You're newly diagnosed, or self-identifying, and want to understand why things feel harder than they should
You've tried productivity systems and willpower and neither has stuck
You want practical, grounded education, not a generic productivity course with ADHD tacked onto the title
You'd rather learn alongside a small group, or work through it one-to-one, with a live person each week
You're a partner, parent or family member who wants to genuinely understand, not just cope

Program structure

Six weeks. Six patterns.

Each week pairs one real ADHD pattern with practical, low-effort tools to try that week. One live hour with Leah, plus a short between-session task you bring back to discuss.

Week 1

Why does everything feel harder than it should

Task initiation and activation

Try this week: Five practical tools, including the smallest possible first step and body doubling.

Week 2

Where did the time go

Time blindness and time awareness

Try this week: The 1.5 multiplier, visual timers and backward planning.

Week 3

Why can't I just remember

Working memory load

Try this week: A single capture point, written recaps and checklists over memory.

Week 4

The emotions are the hardest part

Emotional dysregulation

Try this week: Pause, label, choose, grounding techniques and self-compassion practice.

Week 5

The mask and the exhaustion

Masking and cultural stigma

Try this week: Naming the pattern in your own words, and energy mapping.

Week 6

What now, living with it not against it

Rejection sensitivity

Try this week: Clarifying the evidence before reacting, and one thing from the last five weeks worth keeping.

What is included

Everything you need for six weeks of live, structured support.

📅

Six live sessions

One hour, live with Leah, every week, in a small group or one-to-one.

📝

A workbook for every week

Reflection prompts, self-checks and space for the between-session task, all in one place.

🎯

One pattern, one focus

Each week covers a single real ADHD pattern, not a scattershot of tips.

✍

A short weekly task

Something small to notice or try, brought back to the next session, never homework to fix.
