I’m Denise Connors, and I’ve walked a path of discovery that has shaped me into who I am today — both as a person and as an ADHD coach.

For most of my life, I pushed forward, doing everything I thought I was supposed to—building a career, running a household, showing up fully for everyone around me. From the outside, it looked steady. But inside? I was always chasing clarity, wondering why everything felt harder than it should.

I was constantly battling perfectionism, racing thoughts, emotional intensity, and time slipping through my fingers. My mind felt busy and unfocused, always pulled in a dozen directions. Even simple tasks felt harder than they should have been. I was exhausted from trying to hold it all together—quietly wondering why it felt so hard when it didn’t seem to be for everyone else.

I didn’t know then that I was carrying the invisible weight of ADHD.

Finding Clarity in My ADHD Journey 

In early 2020, my family’s struggles—especially my son’s growing anxiety—led us to seek answers. When the psychologist described his ADHD diagnosis, it felt like a lightbulb flickered on, because suddenly, I saw my own life reflected in his struggles.

That moment wasn’t an end—it was a beginning. A new chapter where I finally had language for the challenges I had carried my whole life.

I sought my own ADHD evaluation, and the diagnosis changed everything. It was the missing piece of the puzzle—the reason I had spent so many years trying to force myself into systems that were never designed for my brain. But more importantly, it was an invitation to unlearn old narratives.

Through therapy, coaching and years of personal learning, I let go of the perfectionism, the self-doubt, the belief that I had to fight harder just to keep up. I began to embrace my strengths, cultivate boundaries, and lean into mindfulness and self-compassion.

And along the way, I discovered ADHD coaching.

How Coaching Changed Everything 

Coaching wasn’t just about managing ADHD—it was about understanding the way I truly see and experience the world.

I realized that those navigating ADHD move through life differently—sometimes missing social cues, interrupting, struggling with anxiety, feeling scattered, overwhelmed by executive function challenges, or caught in loops of negative self-talk. But through coaching, I saw something powerful: awareness creates possibility.

By focusing on strengths instead of just struggles, by untangling the limiting beliefs and old narratives that hold us back, we can build lives that feel more meaningful, less chaotic, and truly aligned with who we are.

I found my way forward—and now, I want to help others do the same. To spread awareness, to reshape perspectives, and to shine a light that helps others step into their own clarity.

That’s why Lavender Path ADHD Coaching exists—to help individuals navigating ADHD build systems that work for them. My coaching is a blend of lived experience, deep empathy, and practical tools that support each person’s journey, one step at a time.

I’m still walking this path too, building my practice with intention and heart. I’ve taken what I’ve learned and used it to create a space where others can find their footing, shift their perspective, and move forward with confidence.

If you're ready to explore new strategies, reshape old patterns, and embrace a life that finally makes sense for you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
