I’m Speaking at The ADHD Growth Summit!

August 19, 12:30pm – 1:30pm EST, 2025 

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be one of the speakers at this year’s ADHD Growth Summit – a 10-day virtual celebration that’s completely transformed how I think about neurodivergent community and growth.

Permission to Play: An ADHD Brain’s Guide to Letting Go of Proving

If you’ve spent most of your life trying to prove you’re smart enough, capable enough, or “not too much,” this session is your permission slip to stop.Join us as we explore how to shift from the proving ground to the playground – with a powerful mindset framework built around play intelligence. Through this lens, you’ll learn how to stop chasing validation and start embracing possibility, curiosity, and joy.
Designed with the ADHD brain in mind, this session will help you reframe your story, reclaim your energy, and remember what it feels like to explore the world without pressure. Because life isn’t a test – it’s a playground.

Why This Summit Matters to Me

As someone who’s spent years exploring how play can unlock potential in the workplace, I’m excited to connect with fellow ADHDers who understand that our brains work differently, and that’s our superpower. This summit isn’t about “fixing” ourselves; it’s about embracing who we are and finding our people.

What Makes This Special

I’ll be joining 30+ other incredible ADHD voices, creators, and experts for what promises to be an amazing experience. We’re talking 40+ interactive virtual events including workshops, panels, body doubling sessions, and breakthrough presentations. This isn’t your typical conference, it’s a community celebration where authentic connection happens.

The Summit’s Philosophy Resonates With Me

They define growth as “permission to stop trying to be someone else”, and honestly, that hit me right in the feels. It’s about making self-acceptance the foundation for everything else you want to change. As someone who’s built a career around playful rebellion and authentic expression, I couldn’t be more aligned with this message.

Who I’ll Be Speaking Alongside

The speaker lineup is absolutely incredible:

• Chris Walker – Co-founder & CEO of Shimmer, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree
• Dr. Alan Graham, Ph.D. – 30+ years of ADHD coaching expertise
• Dani Donovan – Award-winning illustrator whose ADHD comics have been featured in The New York Times
• Jesse J. Anderson – Author of “Extra Focus” and host of ADHD Nerds podcast
• Dr. Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells, MD – Board-certified physician with lived ADHD experience

Plus many more voices representing the full richness of ADHD culture!

My Session Focus

I’ll be bringing my expertise on workplace play and breakthrough strategies – showing how we can leverage our ADHD traits to maximize success through the power of play. Expect practical insights, interactive elements, and probably a few laughs along the way.
