For over 20 years, I built a successful career in tech sales. Closing million dollar deals with clients and navigating complex B2B relationships, but something was always challenging about the way my brain worked. I could never reach my full potential and burn out often.

In 2020 at age 48, I received my ADHD diagnosis. Like many adults, this revelation was met with both relief and guilt but suddenly, decades of struggles with focus, emotional regulation, and rejection sensitivity had a name and explanation.

My diagnosis led me to Dr. Ned Hallowell's book "ADHD 2.0," which opened my eyes to concepts like executive functioning and emotional regulation. I realized that medication alone wouldn't solve all my challenges. I needed systematic approaches to work with my ADHD brain, not against it.

This personal journey sparked a professional transformation. I became certified through two leading ADHD coach training programs: IACT (International ADHD Coach Training Center) and Kristen Carder's FOCUSED Coaching. In 2023, I joined the International Coach Federation (ICF) as a member Coach.

Through 1,300+ coaching sessions, I discovered a critical gap: 99% of ADHD adults experience rejection sensitivity dysphoria, yet zero tools existed to address it. Existing productivity apps weren't designed for ADHD brains in crisis as they assumed you could think clearly when you needed help most.

I taught myself to code and spent 8 months designing an application that I could use for my Daily Organization, Strategy and Execution. Welcome DOSE the world's first cognitive operating system for the ADHD brain. DOSE features four evidence-based tools, including the pioneering RSD Meter for rejection sensitivity intervention.

DOSE isn't just another app. It's the command center that ADHD minds have been searching for. Just like your iPhone has iOS and your laptop has an operating system, your ADHD brain deserves tools designed specifically for how it works.
