Section 2 of my Snapshot was surprising! I realized the scholarship I walked away from, the NYC opportunity I passed on, the goals I've "reduced dramatically" - I've been calling that lack of discipline my whole life. Turns out it's grief. And the cycle I can see but can't stop? That's not a knowledge problem. It's a nervous system problem.

I just completed the ADHD Awakening Assessment and my ah-ha moment is: I'm the shoemaker without shoes. Forty years designing beautiful homes for clients while my own creative life sits in a storage room collecting dust. My executive function isn't broken - it's externally calibrated. I deliver brilliantly when there's a client and clear parameters. The work of this season is becoming a worthy recipient of my own talent. The studio is calling. I'm excited and inspired and feel the weight on my shoulders has been lifted.
