"If you have ADHD like me, there's a one in four chance that one of your parents does, too. That means my kids may grow up to learn and think like me and that's not something to hide, it's something to celebrate. In our home, I want them to know that different doesn't mean broken. Every brain deserves to shine."
"My brain has always felt like a Ferrari with bicycle brakes - powerful, but hard to control. But that's also what's helped me pioneer new worlds from reality TV to the selfie, from my fragrance empire to founding 11:11 Media. My ADHD doesn't slow me down; it fuels my creativity. Some days, my mind feels like a browser with 100 tabs open. But instead of fighting that, I've learned to see it as a gift; an endless engine of ideas and imagination."
A mother with ADHD reframes lifelong masking and shame into open parenting that celebrates neurodiversity and models strengths for her children. She recognizes genetic likelihood that children may share ADHD traits and chooses transparency to normalize different minds. She describes ADHD as both a powerful, hard-to-control mind and a fuel for creativity and entrepreneurship, comparing it to a Ferrari with bicycle brakes and a browser with 100 tabs. She teaches designing life and spaces that support flourishing rather than draining energy. She launched Inclusive by Design, collaborating with ADHD experts Sarah Greenberg and Andrew Kahn.
