Love Notes to ADHD: Celebrating the Connections of Support
Feb 14, 2025
In February, we celebrate love—love for partners, for friends, for ourselves, and for the communities that uplift us. For those of us with ADHD, finding a space where we feel truly seen and understood can be life-changing.
Badass ADHD Coaching and its community support provide just that—a place where our unique brains are celebrated, not just managed. So, in the spirit of love, here are some heartfelt “love notes” to the people, spaces, and strategies that make the ADHD journey a little brighter.
💌 To the ADHD Coaches Who See Us
Thank you for reminding us that our brains aren’t broken—just wired differently. You help us turn self-doubt into self-compassion, providing tools that actually work for us instead of forcing us into systems that don’t. You celebrate our hyperfocus, help us navigate executive dysfunction, and remind us that forgetting an appointment or missing a deadline does not define our worth. Your guidance helps us find our strengths and build lives that align with how our brains naturally function.
💌 To the ADHD Communities That Get It
There’s nothing quite like the relief of hearing “same” after sharing an ADHD struggle. Support group spaces make us feel less alone. Thank you for embracing our tangents, our bursts of passion, and our moments of struggle with patience and humor. You turn our “failures” into shared experiences, offer creative solutions, and remind us that we are not broken—we are just part of a beautifully neurodivergent tribe.
💌 To the Body Doubling Buddies
Whether it’s an accountability partner or a group productivity session, body doubling turns lonely tasks into shared victories. Thank you for sitting with us, reminding us to take breaks, and celebrating the small wins. These moments of connection help turn “I’ll do it later” into “I’m doing it now,” making focus feel less like a struggle and more like a shared success.
💌 To the Post-It Notes, Timers, and Whiteboards
You might not be human, but you’re still part of our ADHD team. From reminders stuck on mirrors to the Pomodoro timer that keeps us on track, you help turn intention into action. You may be simple, but you’re essential.
💌 To the People Who Love Us as We Are
Thank you for your patience when we lose track of time, for laughing with us when we forget why we walked into a room, and for understanding that our love sometimes looks like a million excited ideas at once. You see the magic in our minds and remind us that we are more than our struggles.
💌 Community Love: Your Words, Your Stories
From those in coaching groups to friends in support networks, the love for this community runs deep. One community member shares, “Finding an ADHD coach was life-changing. I finally felt seen, like someone understood the way my brain works and gave me tools that actually made sense.” Another reflects, “Being in a group where people just ‘get it’ has been the most healing experience—no judgment, just understanding.”
Badass ADHD Coaching and its community remind us that we are not alone, that we are capable, and that there is beauty in the way our minds work. Let’s celebrate the love found in connection, support, and shared understanding. Because when we lift each other up, we all thrive.
