Coaching designed for the way you live, work, and lead. You don’t have to figure everything out alone.

Choose the support that fits where you are right now.

15 Minute Clarity Call

NOT SURE WHERE TO START? Start with a conversation. You don't have to know exactly what kind of coaching you need. During your complimentary 15-minute clarity call, we'll talk about what’s happening right now, where you're feeling stuck, what you'd like to change, and whether Designed Differently Coaching feels like the right support for you. No pressure. No judgment. Just a conversation about where you are—and where you'd like to go. Your next chapter doesn't need another perfect plan. It just needs a place to begin.

1:1 ADHD Coaching

Personalized support for a life that works with your brain & not against it. You don’t need another planner you’ll forget about in two weeks. You need strategies that actually fit you. In 1:1 coaching, we’ll work together to understand what’s getting in your way and create realistic systems for the life you’re actually living. Whether you’re overwhelmed, constantly playing catch-up, struggling to follow through, or simply tired of knowing what you should do but not being able to make it happen—this space is for you. Together, we can work on executive functioning, routines, time management, organization, emotional regulation, relationships, boundaries, confidence, and creating more balance in your everyday life. No judgment. No one-size-fits-all productivity hacks. Just personalized support, accountability, and strategies designed around your brain, your goals, and your real life.
📅

1:1 Life Coaching

Get clear. Get unstuck. Start creating a life that feels like yours. Sometimes you know you want something to change, you just don’t know where to begin. 1:1 Life Coaching gives you a supportive space to slow down, get clear on what you want, and turn those goals into realistic action. Together, we’ll work through the areas of life where you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for more. That might include career, relationships, boundaries, confidence, routines, personal goals, life transitions, or simply figuring out what’s next. Our sessions are personalized to you. We’ll identify what’s getting in the way, create practical next steps, and build the accountability and momentum to keep moving forward. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. Sometimes clarity comes from having the right space to figure it out. You bring the life. I’ll build the strategy.
💎

1:1 Executive Coaching

Lead with clarity. Work with intention. Grow without losing yourself in the process. Executive Coaching is personalized support for leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to strengthen how they lead, make decisions, and navigate the demands that come with greater responsibility. Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you from performing and leading at your best and develop practical strategies that work for your leadership style, your goals, and your real life. Coaching may focus on leadership development, executive presence, communication, decision-making, delegation, boundaries, productivity, career growth, managing teams, navigating workplace challenges, and preventing burnout. This isn’t about becoming a different kind of leader. It’s about becoming more intentional, confident, and effective as the leader you already are. Lead differently. Lead intentionally.
🎯

Group Executive Coaching

Stronger leaders. Better conversations. Greater impact together. Group Executive Coaching brings leaders together in a collaborative space to grow, reflect, problem-solve, and strengthen their leadership skills alongside peers who understand the demands of leading others. Through guided coaching, real-world scenarios, and meaningful conversation, participants develop practical strategies they can take directly back to their teams and organizations. Sessions can focus on leadership development, communication, executive presence, managing difficult conversations, decision-making, delegation, accountability, team dynamics, workplace relationships, navigating change, and preventing leadership burnout. Perfect for leadership teams, emerging leaders, managers, and organizations looking to invest in their people while creating stronger, more connected leadership cultures. Grow individually.

YOU'RE NOT LAZY. YOU'RE OVERLOADED.

Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on.
You manage the work. The appointments. The family. The deadlines.

The million little things no one else seems to notice.

From the outside, you look capable. But inside?

Your brain has 37 tabs open—and somehow you can hear all of them.
You make the list but don’t know where to start.

You create a new routine, only to abandon it a week later.

You procrastinate until the pressure becomes unbearable.

You forget things you genuinely care about.

You feel guilty when you rest and overwhelmed when you don’t.

And sometimes you wonder: “Why is everything so much harder for me than it seems to be for everyone else?”

You don’t need another perfect planner, stricter routine, or productivity hack.

You need strategies designed for the way your brain actually works.
THE PROOF

Different Brains need Different Strategies

WHAT IF LIFE DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL THIS HARD?

WHAT IF LIFE DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL THIS HARD?

Imagine understanding why you keep getting stuck instead of constantly blaming yourself for getting stuck.
Imagine having systems flexible enough to survive a bad day.
Imagine being able to prioritize without everything feeling equally urgent.
Imagine following through more often—without needing panic to get you moving.
Imagine having tools for the moments when your brain says, “Nope. Not happening today.”
And imagine finally building a life that feels more like yours. That’s what we work toward together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

What is ADHD & life coaching?

A:
ADHD & life coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused process designed to help you better understand how you operate, identify what’s getting in your way, and create strategies that work with your brain and your real life. We may work on overwhelm, executive functioning, routines, time management, organization, boundaries, relationships, career goals, confidence, follow-through, or simply figuring out where to start.
Q:

Do I need an official ADHD diagnosis to work with you?

A:
No. You do not need a formal ADHD diagnosis to work with Designed Differently Coaching. You may be diagnosed, newly diagnosed, exploring whether ADHD could be affecting your life, or simply struggling with executive-function challenges such as overwhelm, procrastination, organization, time management, or follow-through. We'll start with what you're experiencing—not with a label.
Q:

Is coaching the same as therapy?

A:
No. Coaching and therapy can complement each other, but they serve different purposes. Coaching is generally focused on where you are now, where you'd like to go, the obstacles getting in your way, and practical strategies for moving forward. Designed Differently Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions and is not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or crisis services. If something comes up that falls outside the scope of coaching, I'll encourage you to connect with an appropriate licensed professional.
Q:

What happens during a coaching session?

A:
There is no judgment and no expectation that you arrive perfectly prepared. We'll talk about what's happening in your life, identify what feels most important, explore what's keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies you can actually use. Some sessions may involve planning. Others may focus on boundaries, routines, decision-making, relationships, career challenges, accountability, or simply untangling everything happening in your head. Coaching meets you where you are that day.
Q:

What if I don't know exactly what I need help with?

A:
That's completely okay—and actually pretty common. Sometimes the problem is simply: “There is too much happening and I don't know where to start.” We can start there. Your complimentary 15-minute clarity call gives us a chance to talk about what's going on and determine which type of support makes the most sense. BOOK A FREE CLARITY CALL
Q:

What is the Designed Differently Reset?

A:
The Designed Differently Reset is a focused 60-minute private coaching session for when you have one specific challenge you want help working through. Maybe you're overwhelmed, struggling with a routine, navigating a transition, procrastinating on something important, trying to organize your life, or simply feeling stuck. We'll identify the challenge, untangle what's getting in the way, and create realistic next steps. Investment: $99
Q:

What if I can't afford private coaching right now?

A:
I understand that private coaching is an investment, and I don't want finances to automatically mean you can't receive support. Payment plans are available for select coaching packages. I also plan to offer lower-cost resources, workshops and group coaching opportunities through Designed Differently. A limited number of reduced-rate coaching spaces may also be offered as availability allows. You are always welcome to start with my free resources and decide what level of support feels right for you.
Q:

Do you only coach women with ADHD?

A:
ADHD coaching is a central part of Designed Differently, but my work looks at the whole person—not just ADHD. Depending on your goals, our coaching may touch career, relationships, motherhood, boundaries, confidence, major life transitions, leadership, routines, identity, or creating a life that feels more manageable and aligned. That's why I describe my work as ADHD & Life Coaching.
Q:

Do you offer executive coaching?

A:
Yes. I offer executive coaching for professionals and leaders who want support with leadership, communication, decision-making, organization, boundaries, career development, executive functioning, and navigating complex workplace challenges. Executive coaching can be customized for individuals, groups, or organizations.
Q:

Do you work with organizations or groups?

A:
Yes. Designed Differently Coaching can provide group coaching, executive coaching, workshops, and customized coaching experiences for organizations and teams. Contact me to discuss your organization's needs.
Q:

Are coaching sessions virtual?

A:
Yes. Coaching is offered virtually, allowing you to participate from a private, comfortable space without adding another commute to your life. Honestly, your calendar has enough going on. 😉
Q:

Is what I share during coaching confidential?

A:
Your privacy matters. Information shared during coaching is treated as confidential, subject to the terms and limitations outlined in your coaching agreement and applicable law. We'll review those expectations before beginning our work together so you know exactly what to expect.
Q:

Still wondering if coaching is right for you?

A:
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Start with a conversation. Your complimentary 15-minute clarity call is simply an opportunity for us to talk about what you're experiencing, what you'd like to change, and whether Designed Differently Coaching feels like the right next step. No perfect explanation required. Come exactly where you are.
Q:

What are your credentials and professional background?

A:
I bring a combination of professional coaching training, a CCE coaching credential, extensive Human Resources and leadership experience, and lived experience with ADHD to my work with clients. My professional background includes years of supporting individuals and leaders through career development, workplace challenges, difficult conversations, performance, goal setting, organizational change, and major transitions. My approach combines evidence-informed coaching practices with practical, real-life strategies—while recognizing that no two people, brains, careers, or lives look exactly the same. I also believe lived experience matters. My own journey with ADHD has shaped the way I coach: with curiosity, compassion, accountability, and a deep respect for finding strategies that work for the individual rather than forcing the individual to fit the strategy.
Credentials and Experience:
  • Certified Professional Coach
  • CCE Credentialed Coach
  • Experienced Human Resources Executive & People Leader
  • Professional experience in leadership development, employee relations, career development, organizational strategy, and coaching
  • Lived experience navigating ADHD as a professional, entrepreneur, wife, and mother

Welcome to Designed Differently

You brain isn’t the problem. The Strategy might be.


Designed Differently Coaching helps people create strategies for the parts of life that can feel harder than they “should.”

Not by trying to turn you into someone else. Not by handing you another rigid system. And definitely not by telling you to just try harder.

Instead, we'll look at your brain, your life, your responsibilities, your goals, and the places where you're getting stuck and build from there.

Coaching may include support around: Executive Functioning • Overwhelm • Routines • Time Management • Organization • Boundaries • Relationships • Motherhood • Career • Confidence • Goal Setting • Follow-Through

Because the goal isn't to become perfect. The goal is to build a life that works better for you.
Together, we’ll build realistic strategies that work with your brain, your responsibilities, and your actual life—so you can move from constantly trying to catch up to feeling more confident, supported, and in control.

Meet Geraldine, Your Coach


Hi, I’m Geraldine.

I know what it feels like to be incredibly capable and still wonder why certain parts of life feel so difficult.

I spent years building a career, leading people, managing responsibilities, showing up for others, and doing all the things that looked like “having it together.”

But behind all that capability was a brain working overtime.

Understanding my own ADHD changed the way I looked at productivity, relationships, motherhood, ambition, and myself.

I realized something important: Different brains don't need more shame.

They need different strategies.

Today, I bring together my professional coaching training, leadership experience, and lived understanding of ADHD to help other women stop fighting against themselves and start building lives that actually work for them.

Designed Differently was created to be the kind of space where you don't have to explain why something that sounds “simple” feels impossible.

I get it. And we can work with it.
