FAQs
You’ve Got Questions. Let’s answer all of them.
If your brain is currently running a tab of “but wait, what about...” - this page is for you. No question is too small, too obvious, or too “is this even okay to ask”.
What is Everyday Ease, exactly?
The Basics
-
We meet on Zoom for one hour. We start with a brain dump - you tell me everything that’s been piling up, nagging at you, or sitting on your mental to-do list. We get it out and into a shared document together.
Then we prioritize. What’s most urgent? What’s been weighing on you the most? We make a simple checklist and spend the rest of the session actually doing those things together - booking appointments, sorting emails, signing the kids up for activities, whatever’s on the list.
Anything we don’t finish gets scheduled for later in the week, at a time that works with your natural energy. And once during the week, I’ll send you a gently check-in - a text or email, whatever you prefer - just a quiet nudge to keep the momentum going.
-
No, and that’s intentional. Everyday Ease is practical, hands-on support - not therapy or clinical coaching. We’re not unpacking your past or diagnosing anything. We’re sitting down together and actually doing the things that feel hard to do alone.
Think of it as having a warm, knowledgeable person in your corner who helps you move through the everyday tasks that pile up - with no judgement, no pressure, and no lecture.
If you’re also working with a therapist or doctor, that’s awesome - this kind of practical support works really well alongside professional care. It just doesn’t replace it.
-
Body doubling is when you work on tasks in the presence of another person. It sounds simple - because it is. But for ADHD brains, it can be genuinely transformative.
Research suggests that having another person present activates the brain’s dopamine pathways, which helps with motivation and focus - two areas that ADHD directly impacts. It also creates a sense of gentle accountability that makes starting and staying on task feel less overwhelming.
Dr. Michael Manos of the Cleveland Clinic describes body doubleing as a form of “external executive functioning” - like having someone help regulate the very skills that ADHD makes harder to access on your own. You already know what needs to be done. Sometimes you just need someone there while you do it.
-
Anything that lives on your mental to-do list and never seems to get done. Here are some things clients commonly work through:
Admin and life logistics: booking medical or dental appointments, filling out forms, renewing things that have expired, dealing with insurance, etc.
Digital overwhelm: sorting through a flooded inbox, unsubscribing from things, organizing files, responding to messages that have been sitting there.
Family and kids: registering for activities, school forms, setting up appointments, researching services.
Home tasks: creating a cleaning schedule, making grocery lists, organizing a space - or just taking a break to do a load of laundry while I wait on Zoom. If it’s been sitting on your list and making you feel bad every time you think about it - we can work on it.
Understanding Your Brain
Why is this so hard for me?
-
This is probably the most important question on this page - because the answer changes everything. ADHD isn’t about knowing. You already know. Dr. Russell Barkley, one of the world’s leading ADHD researchers, describes ADHD not as a knowledge deficit, but as a performance deficit - a gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it in the moment. The part of the brain responsible for getting started, staying on task, managing time, and following through - the executive functions - works differently in the ADHD brain. It’s not a character flaw. It’s not laziness. It’s neuroscience.
That’s exactly why having external support - someone present, a structure, an accountability nudge- works so well. It provides from the outside what the ADHD brain struggles to generate from the inside.
-
Because you’ve probably spent years being told - or telling yourself - that you just need to try harder. That if you really cared, you’d get it together. That other people manage just fine, so why can’t you? That narrative is exhausting, and it isn’t true.
Research consistently shows that adults with ADHD - particularly women - experience intense shame around the everyday tasks they struggle to complete, often made worse by societal expectations to seamlessly manage work, home, family, and relationships all at once. When the brain’s executive functions make that genuinely harder, the gap between expectation and reality can feel crushing.
There is no shame in this space. What you’re dealing with is real, it’s documented, and it’s not a reflection of your intelligence, your worth, or how much you care.
-
Yes. You don’t need a diagnosis to work with me. Many adults - again, especially women - go years without a formal ADHD diagnosis.
ADHD in women often looks different from the textbook version: less obvious hyperactivity, more internalized struggle, more shame, more masking. It’s frequently missed or misdiagnosed. If you recognize yourself in what’s described here - the piling tasks, the paralysis, the gap between intention and action - then this support is for you, diagnosed or not.
That said, if you’ve been wondering about a diagnosis, speaking with your doctor or other medical professional is always a worthwhile step. Support and assessment go well together.
The Practical Stuff
Everything you need to know before booking.
-
That’s exactly the right time to book a session. You don’t need to come prepared, organized, or with a plan. That’s what the first part of our session is for. We start with a brain dump for a reason - it’s specifically designed for the moments when everything feels like too much. You just show up. We’ll sort through it together.
-
Not sure? Start with Just Breathe - the drop-in session at $75. It’s one hour, no commitment, no pressure. A chance to experience the process and see how it feels before deciding on anything ongoing. If you find yourself wanting more consistency - which most people do, because ADHD brains thrive on regular structure and accountability - the Steady package (4 sessions/month) is a great place to start.
Grounded (6 sessions/month) works well for busier seasons of life, and Full Ease (8 sessions/month) is for those who want regular, reliable support woven into every week.
When in doubt, go small. You can always move up - and there’s zero judgement if you need to take a break.
-
I completely understand that life doesn’t always go to plan. All I ask is as much notice as you can give - ideally 24 hours. This helps me support other clients who may need that time. Cancellations with less than 24 hours of notice are charged at 50% of the session rate, and missed sessions are charged in full. Reach out, and we’ll always figure it out together.
-
You’ll know because things will start getting done. The appointment gets booked. The inbox gets sorted. The form that’s been sitting there for three weeks - gone. But beyond tasks, most people notice something else: the mental weight gets lighter. That low-grade hum of “I really should...” quiets down. And when it does, there’s more space for everything else. Progress looks different for everyone - and we’ll check in on what’s feeling better and what still needs attention as we go.
-
We meet on Zoom - just a link, no downloads required if you’d prefer to use your browser. You’ll need a device with a camera and microphone, and a reasonable stable internet connection. That’s genuinely it. No special setup,no apps to figure out, no prep work. Just show up.
-
Not at all. While research shows that women are disproportionately underdiagnosed and undersupported when it comes to ADHD, Everyday Ease is open to any adult who feels like this kind of support could help them.
Still have a question?
Reach out directly - no form, no wait. And if you’re ready to try it, book a Just Breathe session and let’s get started.
