SUMMARY:ADHD Growth Summit -  Permission to Play: An ADHD Brain’s Guide to Letting Go of Proving  
DESCRIPTION:I’m Speaking at The ADHD Growth Summit!\nAugust 19\, 12:30pm – 1:30pm EST\, 2025  \nHey 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. \nPermission to Play: An ADHD Brain’s Guide to Letting Go of Proving\nIf 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.\nDesigned 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. \nWhy This Summit Matters to Me\nAs 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. \nWhat Makes This Special\nI’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. \nThe Summit’s Philosophy Resonates With Me\nThey 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. \nWho I’ll Be Speaking Alongside\nThe speaker lineup is absolutely incredible: \n\nChris Walker – Co-founder & CEO of Shimmer\, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree\nDr. Alan Graham\, Ph.D. – 30+ years of ADHD coaching expertise\nDani Donovan – Award-winning illustrator whose ADHD comics have been featured in The New York Times\nJesse J. Anderson – Author of “Extra Focus” and host of ADHD Nerds podcast\nDr. Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells\, MD – Board-certified physician with lived ADHD experience\n\nPlus many more voices representing the full richness of ADHD culture! \nMy Session Focus\nI’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. \nHow to Join Us\nThe Summit is included with Shimmer membership\, and honestly\, the community aspect is what makes this so powerful. Early Bird members get access to the community space starting August 1st with daily body doubling sessions and learning resources.| \nLearn more about the event here \nThis Is For You If:\n\nYou’re an adult with ADHD seeking real community\nYou’re tired of trying to fit into neurotypical molds\nYou want practical strategies from people who actually get it\nYou’re ready to embrace your authentic self\nYou believe your ADHD traits can be superpowers\n\nI can’t wait to connect with this amazing community and share what I’ve learned about turning our beautiful\, chaotic\, creative minds into our greatest professional assets. \nReady to rebel playfully against the status quo and find your people? I’ll see you at the Summit! \n\nWant to learn more about my approach to playful rebellion in the workplace? Check out my book “Playful Rebellion: Maximize Workplace Success Through The Power of Play” or connect with me at Breakthrough Play.
