Finally! A Smarter Way to Solve Your Adult ADHD Puzzle — and Speed Your Learning Curve
If you’ve lived with Adult ADHD—in yourself or a loved one—you know.
It can feel impossible to grasp the depth, breadth, and sheer variety of potential challenges. It’s like nailing jello to the wall.
Especially when the diagnosis comes later in life.
It started in childhood as a highly variable syndrome called ADHD. By now, however, it has morphed into a murky mix of symptoms, misinterpretations, negative or distorted feedback and self-talk —and counterproductive coping responses.
The Good News? We’re not dealing with jello!
We’re dealing with predictable, well-studied patterns—and we have proven approaches.
I’m so glad you’re here!

We Rode the ADHD Roller Coaster— So You Don't Have To
My husband received his ADHD diagnoses decades ago—thanks to me puzzling the pieces when almost no one was talking about it.
Ever since, I’ve worked to create awareness, improve treatment outcomes, and support others riding the ADHD Roller Coaster.
With an online community that just welcomed its 10,000th member, I’ve listened to thousands of stories and struggles – and lived a few myself! I know where you get stuck AND how to help you clear your path.
With this course, I’ve combined the science and best clinical standards with my decades of experience, and created a methodical framework for slowing that ADHD Roller Coaster—or at least making it a more enjoyable ride!

"After 30 years of a "difficult" marriage, my husband and I started Gina's course. It has opened our eyes! He is now diagnosed and in counseling with a therapist who follows Gina's work. Already we see positive results we never thought possible! We tried marriage counseling in the past—an absolute disaster. I dreaded having to seek a competent ADHD couple therapist. Fortunately, marriage counseling is on the back burner. This course and my husband's counselor are taking us where we need to go."
Melissa T. - Oklahoma
"My husband is not an easy sell. But after watching Gina's YouTube videos, he wanted to join me in a course Zoom call. We're blown away at the incredible resources Gina gives us — even personally consulting with you during the Zoom meetings. Her collective experience, knowledge, and wisdom is a gold mine. If you hesitate because you don’t dare hope it can lead to a better life and relationship, JUST START! I wish I had! By the way, we both have ADHD."

Only at Step 2 and finding absolutely incredible revelations. I am floored. Until this moment, I’ve felt lost in an indescribable way. At age 42, I finally feel optimism about my future.

You're An Individual, Not a Stereotype
Sure, you share common challenges— disorganization, listening , remembering, and more. To one degree or another. Yet, in my experience, you start feeling truly in control of your life only when you, as the adult with ADHD and/or the partner:
- Start methodically untangling your puzzle pieces
- Adopt an optimistic, problem-solving mindset
- Revise counterproductive misinterpretations—that keep you stuck
- Reverse mind-numbing dysfunctional patterns
- Adopt new coping responses—and stop the old, destructive ones
- Take steps to manage core symptoms—but first identify what they are for you, as an individual with this highly variable syndrome
- Get traction on tasks large and small—by supporting Executive Functions
- Enjoy more success in life, at home, on the job—more fun, less frustration
- Spend more time doing what you mean to do
- Become a savvier mental-healthcare consumer
- Know that you deserve the best guidance possible
- Enjoy your relationship—more teamwork, more harmony and intimacy

Understanding What Makes a Diagnosis

You’ll find tools to help you establish your baseline situation—and target goals one by one. If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you’re there? These tools also help you can measure and celebrate the progress to come.
"My husband and I just began Gina’s course. It’s much more approachable than asking him to read an ADHD book. He gets so distracted reading. These are short videos, super digestible and informative. My husband now reports feeling much more in control, less defensive, that he actually can learn to manage his ADHD. We are just doing a bit every evening after work and have learned something each time. It has been just as helpful for me as it has been for him so far. It feels very much like we are working as a team against ADHD for the first time in a long time."
Alex M. - Oklahoma
You Deserve The Best
Maybe you’ve already tried therapy—and even medication. It might have worked for a while. Or, did it made things worse?
At the very least, you might be wondering: Is that as good as it gets?
Most likely, no, life can get a whole lot better.
Top ADHD specialists and research scientists have given us solid direction on what works.
My mission for 20 years has been translating that into real-world application— information, validation, and evidence-based strategies that can truly elevate your life.
Can You COVID Relate?
Pre-COVID, finding solid Adult ADHD expertise was hard enough. Mid-COVID, marginal coping strategies hit their limits. Unprecendented numbers sought evaluation and treatment.
Regulations around “Tele-health” clinics increased access —but also need for caution.
Even if the pressure has let up at your house, please don’t wait until the next Big Stressful Event to adopt lasting, pragmatic strategies. We truly never know when that might happen.
Forget Frustrating "Tips and Tricks"
A tip here. A blog post there. Dozens of YouTube videos. A book or two—or ten. It all has its place—if you can separate wheat from chaff.
Even with the most accurate information, where is the framework, the system, for puzzling all the pieces —in a way that makes sense for you? Not some generic idea of an ADHD-challenged person or couple.
It’s right here. A systematic approach. Based on the evidence of what works.

"I am so so relieved I have found this course after scouring the internet for couples training on ADHD (as you probably know, there is nothing else on it out there). I can’t wait for more courses. Thank you again for this training. As a therapist, I am seeing these obstacles everywhere now, and this is such a life-saving lens!"
Dasha T. - Massachusetts
"I am taking this course without my ADHD partner (we are struggling and living apart at the moment), and I definitely think it is worth it even if she never participates. I enrolled in Gina’s course knowing who she is from her groups and writing. She has a lot to offer, and she always gives everything she's got. It just made sense that she’s going to do that and more in her course. And she definitely does!"
Frankie J. - Maryland
"I’m a believer. Gina’s given me hope and I am ready to do whatever it takes to get my life back on track. For now, that means I won’t be paying $5,000 for an intensive-outpatient program for substance-use. I’m understanding now that I don’t have an “addictive personality”; I have ADHD. And until I address that, that program won’t work any better than previous ones."

"After reading Gina's books and starting her course, I am more confident in my decision-making. I’m practicing a huge amount of self-care instead of feeling constantly stressed and mentally paralyzed by my husband’s formerly inexplicable behaviors. It’s all put me in a remarkably better place. I hope that soon I can find better ways to help him."

"Gina’s course has been more helpful than counseling ever has been and has done a lot to increase my husband’s awareness of how some of his behaviors impact on others. One of the nicest things is that the course material remains available to you. If something comes up later, you can re-watch the applicable parts to help you through. I first “binge-watched” to get an understanding for myself and then watched again with my husband, to get the benefits of mutual understanding."

Disclosure: No conflicts of interest.
For 22 y ears now, I’ve supported the use of medication as the single-most effective means of managing ADHD. But I have never accepted pharmaceutical industry support of any kind. Industry funding of research can be a good thing, when researchers have integrity and disclose the funding. With what we see online and elsewhere, however, there is less and less disclosure, even with licensed mental-health professionals.
