10 months ago I owed a prospective customer an email re: a proposal I had sent her. The tool that I was using that I was also quoting for is very confusing and creating a quotation is more difficult than it should be and that was all my ADHD brain needed to get confused, shutdown and avoid. Not a great combo if you want to get business. All this time I have had an item on my to-do list to send a follow-up apology but as always happens the longer I left it the bigger the "monster" became and the more I dreaded the eventual rejection. Today after doing my check in the very last bullet read "One visible act: send the thing"! This was my sign and with the help of Sage I drafted an email, cut and pasted into my email and hit send! I gave her the option to just move on, let me know if I could refer her to someone else or to give me another chance. I do not have any investment in the option she chose but she deserved a follow up and now that is done! I feel such a sense of relief! PHEW!

I discovered the 5 Day Challenge that began in early 2026 at the very last minute and jumped in...I have been facing incredible challenges related to significant escalation in my ADD due to nearly 15 years of unrelenting traumas...the loss of my Dad and 2 brothers within 7 months...the death of my older brother was due to suicide...more trauma followed...not one but two hones that had to be totally rebuilt due to environmental damage....a black water flood in the first and serious undisclosed damage in the second that was all missed by the inspection. I am single....I had to navigate through these challenges alone without any support The above circumstances were so all encompassing that I was unable to work for 15 years....I recognized my desperate need for this program...The 5 day Challenge was great but the "sophistication" required to rely on AI Harmony did me in ....I have never had to rely on a computer for either my education...my Masters degree was completed in 1984...or in the 40 years that I have held two professional licenses and operated a very successful private practice....The challenges presented by needing to figure out the necessary computer skills to participate in the 6 week program and my total inexperience with AI have resulted in me being unable to make the incredible progress that so many of you are experiencing ... As the 6 weeks are drawing to a close, I am experiencing yet another grieving process...Not because I am ADD, but because I have been unable to benefit from the ADHD Harmony program to any significant extent...I simply lack the skills necessary to operate the AI program effectively...Several have offered help, but lacking basic computer skills was the real problem. This disadvantage did not become apparent during the 5 day Challenge. Posting in the community was easy for me...Encouraging and supporting others is who I am. Answering the initial questions was not too hard to master ... Using the AI program overwhelmed and intimidated me. This exacerbated my ADD causing even more struggles.

Kia ora cohort, I want to take a moment to be honest with you all, because that's what this space has taught me I can do. A week and a half ago, we had our Week 5 somatic breathing session. I'll admit I walked in a little sceptical, a bit "what's all this woo woo fluff?" What happened was the opposite of what I expected. With my eyes closed I could actually see colours through my eyelids, and something in me cracked open. The invitation I took from it was about releasing old identities and making room to embrace new ones. Letting go of the masks, the 20,000 messages we've absorbed growing up that we're not enough, or too much, so we can move toward our ikigai with fresh energy. Here's where I need to be honest. What came up for me went deeper than I expected, and I got stuck in the historic stuff. The past week and a bit I've been quietly doing the work, closing loops on some inner child trauma so I can actually put the bags down instead of dragging them through another airport. And in true ENFP fashion, before I even knew how much unpacking I had to do, I had already put my hand up to coordinate a rerun of the session for the cohort. I over-committed and under-delivered, and I feel the embarrassment of that. I'm naming it because I think that's part of the healing too. What I want to shout from the rooftops is this: Sammy and Beth, thank you. You bridged a gap I couldn't bridge on my own. You sorted the interest, the timings, the logistics, and you made it happen with grace. That is the ADHD Harmony community at its finest. I am sure tomorrow will not be the only rerun. Beth, a special thank you for your messages. The way you recognised the overwhelm of what I'd been confronted with, and gently reminded me to take care, meant more than you know. To the rest of the cohort, thank you for the encouragement, for acknowledging that sometimes we need to stop and sort our stuff out before we can carry anything new. No extra luggage fees required. ✈️ The rerun is tomorrow (Monday NZ / Sunday for most of you). I'll be there with the rest of you who have registered an interest, lighter than I was a week and a half ago, ready to keep doing this beautiful, messy work together.

I am about to do a workout via zoom. I noticed my brain struggled at first this morning of "do we take a shower like we usually do? But. We are going to do a workout.. but. 🤯 And I just wanted to share that then *I* stepped in and said do your meditation like usual (now that I have a morning routine 🥳). And then get in the shower because you want to feel clean. Anyway, I'm already downstairs ready to go! Can hardly believe it! So grateful!
