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.

SUMMARY:Dent Collaboration Weekend:  Maui 2025
DESCRIPTION:Register for Dent Collaboration Weekend: Maui 2025 \nI’m thrilled to be heading to Maui for Dent’s 2025 Collaboration Weekend! Every Dent gathering leaves me inspired and energized\, and I know this one will be no exception. The chance to connect with such a brilliant community\, work on meaningful projects\, and recharge in such a stunning setting feels like the perfect way to end the year. I can’t wait to dive into the conversations\, creative sessions\, and (of course) some of Maui’s unforgettable experiences. \n$299 for Dent Passport Holders/Dent 2026 Registrants \nOur 2025 Maui Collaboration Weekend offers immersive experiences focused on bringing together members of the Dent community in a beautiful\, inspiring setting for productive work\, meaningful connections\, and creative activities. This 2025 event will serve as a change of pace/venue and for this next year will replace our traditional annual January San Diego Collaboration Weekend. \nOur sleeping room block is limited; this event is currently reserved for paid Passport Members and those who have registered (or have a credit) for Dent Santa Fe 2026. Hotel registration details will be included in your registration confirmation email. \nLocation: Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa \nThe Sheraton is an oceanfront oasis situated on the most prime expanse of Ka’anapali Beach\, where Pu’u Keka’a (Black Rock) meets the Pacific. It offers an unparalleled oceanfront location that has consistently provided Dent groups with both the inspiring natural backdrop and premium amenities that enable collaboration and connection. The resort’s unique position at Black Rock Beach provides direct access to world-class snorkeling and marine life experiences right from the hotel grounds\, while offering the kind of elevated hospitality and meeting facilities. \nThe Sheraton Maui has offered Dent an exceptional group rate of $299 per night for Run of Ocean (ocean view) rooms with a discounted resort fee of just $25 per day\, representing significant savings from standard rates. This ocean view rate is a substantial upgrade from previous years when $379 secured only garden view rooms\, and the group block includes the standard room extensions of 2-3 additional discounted nights on either side of the core December 5-7\, 2025 event dates. A custom reservation link will be provided soon to all registrants. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nCollaborative Work Sessions: Attendees advance personal or professional projects in a supportive environment.\nTalks & Workshops: Denter-led sessions and informational presentations.\nCurated Dinners: Thoughtfully orchestrated social activities and meals.\nAquatic Activities: Taking advantage of Maui’s incredible waters and marine life.\nSmall Group Dynamics: Intimate atmosphere for deep connections and collaboration.\n\nPlanned Activities: \n\nInsider Restaurant Experiences: Curated dinners at some of the best “insider” restaurants on the island\, featuring locally-sourced cuisine at Denter-preferred venues.\nBlack Rock Beach Snorkeling & Orientation: For those comfortable with snorkeling\, we will assist Denters by faciltating a guided snorkeling and orientation session at the famous Black Rock Beach\, providing a first-hand look at Maui’s marine ecosystem in an easily accessible location right at Kaanapali.\n“Secret” Turtle Bay Snorkel Excursion: (conditions permitting): 15 minutes north of the Sheraton is Honokeana Cove\, here the sea turtles are prolific\, offering snorkelers an intimate encounter with Hawaiian green sea turtles in a more secluded\, less touristy location. Be advised: this is for experienced snorkelers who are prepared to deal with a rocky entry (no beach).
