SUMMARY:Anything But ADHD Presents DOPATROPOLIS BONANZA!
DESCRIPTION:I am SO incredibly excited to share that I’ll be joining the very first DOPATROPOLIS BONANZA virtual event — May 27-29\, 2026! 🧡🎮 \nThis one feels different. \nOn May 29th at 9:00 AM PST\, I’m hosting an Icebreaker Game session. If you know me\, you know I’m going to make sure it’s the kind of warm-up that gets your dopamine firing and your connections feeling real. \nWhy I’m so excited for this one… \nThe Mission: DOPATROPOLIS isn’t your typical virtual event. It’s a gamified online world built for the ADHD arts community: part conference\, part art show\, part celebration\, 100% for people whose brains have always run on a different OS. Creativity + ADHD + play = this is literally my world! \nThe Lineup: I am genuinely in awe of who I get to share this space with. I can’t wait to be in the same (virtual) room as Jessi Sorensen\, Chris Wang\, Sharon Pope\, Ryan Mayer\, Trina Haynes\, Dani Donovan\, Marie Ng\, and honestly\, the entire lineup is stacked beyond belief. \nThe Connection: This is the kind of event where you show up thinking you’re the only one whose brain works the way it does\, and leave having found your people. That’s the magic. That’s why it matters. \nIf you’re a creator\, coach\, clinician\, ADHDer\, or just someone who’s ever felt like their brain operates a little differently\, this space was made for you. Come play with us. 🎮 \n🎟️ Grab your ticket: https://gary_ware–wymanmedia.thrivecart.com/aba-event-may-2026/

SUMMARY:The 2026 ADHD Growth Summit | Permission to Play Worshop
DESCRIPTION:About the ADHD Growth Summit\nThriving in a World That Won’t Slow Down \nThe ADHD Growth Summit returns for its second year — a free\, virtual event bringing together leading voices in ADHD coaching\, psychology\, and lived experience to help you build a life that works with your brain\, not against it. \nHosted by Shimmer ADHD Coaching\, this year’s summit unfolds across six themed days\, intentionally structured around the COM-B model of behavior change: \n\nBody & Mind and Space & Systems — building your Capability\nRelationships and Drive & Direction — unlocking Opportunity and fueling Motivation\nLived Experience — the foundation that grounds it all\n\nEach day features expert speakers chosen specifically to match that day’s theme\, creating one connected arc rather than a series of disconnected talks — practical strategies\, real conversations\, and honest insight into thriving with ADHD. \nWhat attendees get: \n\nLive sessions and panels from ADHD experts and lived-experience voices\nActionable tools for capability\, systems\, relationships\, and motivation\nAccess to a supportive community built around real change\n\nPermission to Play: Breaking the Rules That Were Never Yours\nI want to ask you something before we even start: how many of the rules you’re living by did you actually choose? \nMost of us — especially those of us with ADHD — spend so much energy trying to prove we’re doing it “right” that we forget to ask where that rule even came from in the first place. In this session\, I’m bringing my favorite tools from the improv world — playful games\, silly experiments\, a little bit of chaos — to help us catch those invisible “shoulds” in the act. \nWe’re going to play. We’re going to reflect. And we’re going to start rewriting the rules — this time rooted in curiosity\, self-trust\, and actual joy instead of proving mode. \nCome ready to laugh a little\, loosen up\, and remember what it feels like to not need permission. \nSee you there. \nGET YOUR TICKET HERE

SUMMARY:Improv Con | Yes and…Across Generations: Breaking Down Age Barriers in Improv Troupes & Classes

Participants will engage in innovative exercises and scene work that will invite them to play cross-generationally\, and to examine their hidden biases. Each exercise or scene will be followed by a debriefing discussion to share insights. We will also facilitate a discussion about the value of forming age\, gender\, and cultural specialty groups in the world of improv classes and performing troupes\, versus intentionally creating mixed groups. \nMore Information about location

SUMMARY:Emcee at TEDx San Diego
DESCRIPTION:I’m really excited to share that I’ll be Emcee’ing TEDxSanDiego’s next mainstage event\, and the theme couldn’t feel more aligned with the work I do. \nThe event is called JOY\, and it’s happening on August 27\, 2026 at 7:00pm at the David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre in La Jolla\, CA. \nNine speakers will be taking the stage\, each bringing a genuinely different lens to what joy means. From how we build belonging in our communities\, to resilience\, to rethinking what success actually looks like. It’s the kind of evening where you walk in curious and walk out with something that sticks with you for a while. \nTEDxSanDiego has always been a space where ideas move people to action\, and getting to help create that experience as Emcee is something I don’t take lightly. I can’t wait to be in the room with all of you. \nTickets are on sale now. I’d love to see you there. \nGet Your Tickets →
