Introduction
I am a 58 year old late diagnosed woman who has been treated for depression and anxiety for more than 20 years even though I kept telling them I wasn't depressed or anxious. AND the meds they tried to give me weren't helping AND the therapy helped until I quickly learned and applied (in true ADHD fashion) all the habits and protocols and so therapy had nothing else to offer me except a safe place to vent and talk through my struggles, but not with anyone who really understood them. But I still didn't feel good and kept being told things I already knew and had either tried or put into place already. No one ever suggested ADHD. Then my younger brother got diagnosed at 42 and I decided to look into it myself just like every other struggle I have ever faced. I recognized I had so many symptoms and struggles my entire life that ADHD explained and made sense for me. I wasn't ready to try meds due to my previous experience with meds and throw in menopause which messes with meds on top of everything else. My awakening assessment didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know BUT it gave me language to articulate it, express it and it validated so much. I still don't feel great and clear on my path but that is why I am here to help me get there. I have found my passion that aligns with me but I haven't figured out a way to monetize it. I burnt out a year ago trying to make an online business with it and I learned more than I ever wanted to know about online marketing and social media, made a lot of progress, got plenty of interest and created a lot of assets that I can still use, but I never made any money AND I ran out of credit and ended up in debt in addition to burning out. So I am still recovering from that but I have made progress there too and am now looking for the opportunity that won't burn me out and aligns with ME.
Week 1 of the Blueprint
5/15/2026 My Big Rocks: Are 1.Finding a way to have an income that aligns with me and my preferences, and 2. Finding my people. I am here because I spent 4 years trying to get an online business off the ground without knowing the first thing about online marketing. I stepped out of my comfort zone in a lot of ways during that learning process. I created a lot of business assets and got plenty of interest. But I never got the ultimate result, income. Because I didn’t even realize it could be ADHD that was causing me problems, I once again burnt myself out and had to let it all go. Over the last year I have committed to my mental and physical health through therapy and lifestyle changes. Now I am ready to move back into working again but this time with the knowledge of how to set myself up for success and not burn myself out. I commit to showing up doing the exercises and engaging in the community. I financially cannot do the 6 week program but I am giving it a go with the blueprint on my own and taking advantage of the community. When it gets hard, I will remember my big rocks and make sure my actions are aligned with them and not the zillion other things my ADHD brain wants me to do. I engage with the community when I get stuck and contribute what I can. I hope to have an even better understanding of what I may be missing for my ADHD brain to stop sabotaging me and start to see success that doesn’t require me to work so hard that I burn out.
A little in shock from the Snapshot
Hi, I'm Linda from small town Texas, USA 👋 I own a business and am working on getting another one off the ground. I thought the Snapshot would be an interesting look at my life - not a complete catharsis. It's like I am seeing myself for the first time in a global way - and that is so healing. I'm 63 years old and have been recently diagnosed, and the Snapshot helped me much more than 2 psychiatrists, 2 therapists and one ADHD specialist. I cried over and over again - and then recommended it to 3 people. If I only got that out of this process, it was more than any other health care provider has been able to do.

Very similar experience here. Especially with late and misdiagnosed for more than 20 years and still fight med pros to recognize and help me. Awareness has been transforming for my mindset, then I go looking for the help with what I can't quite get on my own.
Now I know!
Just got my ADHD Snapshot and one line cracked something open: my self-sabotage isn't sabotage at all - it's protection. After building a $5M empire that collapsed, after burning out twice in senior accounting, my nervous system learned that "getting ahead" is the prelude to losing everything. The avoidance makes sense now. And naming that is the first step to building something different. Excited for Day 1.

So resonated with your time on stage in Day two. Still trying to figure out what my nervous system learned that is keeping me from success in my business. I am glad that you have! Would love to connect and trade war stories if you are so inclined.
Classroom question
The assignment for day 1 and 2, "Answer 3 deep questions". Are these separate from the AI Snapshot and ADHD awakening assessment? If so where do I find the questions?
