ADHD
Late diagnosis, shutdowns, women and moms, and the messy-real-life version that doesn’t fit a neat checklist.
For rooms with people in them
Let’s Talk About What Comes Next.
I’ve spent years talking to rooms full of people about everything from saving money to making a difference. I love a good conversation, an unexpected laugh, and watching people realize they actually can do something about the things that matter to them.
The topics have changed over the years. My willingness to stand up and talk about them hasn’t.
Yes, I’ve done this before
This Ain’t My First Rodeo.
I’ve traveled throughout Illinois leading workshops, speaking to community groups, and sharing ideas about saving money, giving back, and making things happen.
From couponing workshops and Money Smart Week presentations to Rotary, Soroptimist, Lions Clubs, and speaking about the nonprofits I’ve founded, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with all kinds of audiences.
I’ve also been interviewed for television, radio, and newspaper stories.
Different audiences. Different conversations. Occasionally a swear word. Usually deserved.
Things we could talk about
The Funny Parts. The Useful Parts. The Parts We Keep Avoiding.
Over My Dead Body
An ADHD-friendly way to talk about end-of-life planning and the things people avoid until they become much harder.
Giving Back and Community Action
How a practical idea becomes a project, and how to make it possible for other people to join in.
Little Hands, Big Impact
Why children deserve meaningful opportunities to help others, how small acts of service can shape lifelong habits, and what happens when we give kids somewhere to start.
The Larger Story
What it looks like to build projects, programs, books, and creative work over time when you are curious, slightly chaotic, and trying to build a life with more freedom for your family.
Have something else in mind? Let’s talk. I’ve never been particularly good at staying in one lane.
