Expat ADHD life coaching 

Living with ADHD means experiencing the world differently. Living with ADHD as an expat reshapes everything. But your unique brain, with its creativity and adaptability, can become your greatest strength navigating life abroad.

 

As an expat, and someone deeply connected to ADHD through both personal and professional journeys, I help expats transform overwhelm into empowerment, unlocking their potential and gaining clarity in their international lives.

Truth is ...

Living abroad with ADHD is like riding a bicycle through Amsterdam's busy streets while juggling stroopwafels, navigating Google Maps in Dutch, and trying to remember if it's time for three kisses or a handshake - all while your brain sparkles with possibilities at every canal turn.

Your reality right now:

Your ADHD brain craves novelty while needing structure. Now add a new country: new work, new neighborhood, new social circles - and your mind sparkles with possibilities while searching for stable ground.

Executive function already makes daily life complex. Add finding ADHD support in a new system: explaining to your huisarts, navigating medication needs - all in your second language.

Task-switching and emotional regulation are constant companions. Layer on managing international teams across time zones, while your RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) questions every cultural interaction.

But here's the beautiful truth: 

Your ADHD brain is actually a secret superpower for expat life.

That creativity? Perfect for problem-solving in new cultures.

That adaptability? Exactly what you need right now.

 

You don't have to piece this puzzle alone. My journey combines 13 years of expat life with a deep personal connection to ADHD - through my son's journey and my own path of discovery. This unique perspective helps me understand the challenges you're facing from multiple angles.

Let's transform your international adventure into a story where both your ADHD and expat spirit thrive​.
