stop resisting blindly Sit with your resistance in quiet acceptance, and notice what shifts. Previously i was grasping at straws, I knew my passions, the layers of Herbalism, healing, and car that drew me in and was insisting on deep diving into one layer at a time to help people but everytime I would build "an herbalist protocol for x" or "a somatic protical for y" my body would tense uo, I hated the idea of being known for a fragmented portion of myself. I resisted offering anything I was building, so I sat down and asked "why are you so against the things you are building to helo people?" And I just listened to what came up "Because thats not me!" "Thats such a small precise bubble that is fragmented at best" "It turns a passion into a dull tight box!" So I sat down and asked myself. What do each of my passions and desires have in common? Which groups of people am I ok with focusing in? Which niche area makes me cringe and feel trapped? In the end I know longer am focused on general herbalism, general somatic healing, specific trauma based paths, single neurological or body systems.... I was able to dive into EXACTLY the type of clinical herbalist I want to certify in as. Exactly what I want to strengthen in myself and stabilize in others over not just the next 2 years but the next 5, 10, 20 to build the life I truly was teaching for.... So, HI, I'm Alison and 2.5 years from now I will be an AHG certified and nationally recognized herbalist with a specializing in: - Burnout recovery - Nervous system collapse patterns - Trauma- informed care, for the medically dismissed and gaslit, especially - Gut-Brain repair and connection - Autoimmune stabilization If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still felt wired, depleted, inflamed, or foggy: there IS a pattern. I know what its like to be the friend or caregiver who has held everything together for everyone else until my body finally said "NO, IM DONE!" And I am building this specialty around US!

Over the last few years, I kept noticing the same pattern with my clients: They don’t lack information. They lack a way to organize that information into action. Most ADHD advice focuses on isolated tactics: • Use a planner • Try a morning routine • Regulate your nervous system • Declutter your space All helpful...None integrated. So I started building something that connects the dots. I’m calling it the Nest Navigation System — a framework designed to help adults with ADHD move from awareness → observation → regulation → environment → systems in a way that actually makes sense to the ADHD brain. It’s still in development. I’m refining language, testing the pillars, pressure-testing it inside my community. But at its core, it’s built around one idea: ADHD isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a navigation problem. And if we can teach people how to navigate their internal state before they try to fix their productivity, everything shifts. Curious if others here are building frameworks or structured methodologies for ADHD support. What patterns have you noticed that don’t get talked about enough?
