Coaching with Rosina

01/19/2026

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked myself,
“Why can’t I just start?”

The task isn’t even that big.
I know what needs to be done.
And yet… I feel frustrated and stuck before I even begin.

For a long time, I thought this meant I was procrastinating or not trying hard enough.

What I’ve learned, though, is that starting is often the hardest part, especially when it’s a task I’m not very interested in.

Not because I don’t care, but because my brain is trying to sort through so many things at once:

Is this the right place to start, or should I do something else first?
Is this manageable? Do I have enough time?
Is this going to overwhelm me?

When I slow down and get curious about that moment before starting, it stops feeling like a personal failure and starts feeling like information.

Information about my energy level…
or the thoughts I might be having about myself or the task:
“There are too many steps.”
“I can’t do this right.”

In my work as a coach, this is where we’d pause together and explore what your brain is responding to, before trying to push through it.

If this question feels familiar, you’re not alone, and it doesn’t mean you’re lazy or incapable. For me, it meant I just needed a different way that fit ME.

This is one of the most common places I start with clients when we work together.

Haha I love this! After a long week of "being on" this is often how I feel until I get snacks and recharge! IYKYK

I’ve realized something about my ADHD brain.

Fighting with Bitsy all day doesn’t actually get me very far.

So instead, I’ve been learning how to work with her.

Some days, that looks like playing upbeat music while I work, because Bitsy likes to have fun.

Some days it means taking more breaks, keeping fidgets nearby, or using body doubling so she doesn’t feel bored or alone.

And some days, I notice that Bitsy is overstimulated, and what she really needs is a play break, not more pressure.

I’m much more productive when I make things more enjoyable…
working with a friend,
turning a task into a game,
or finding small ways to make the moment feel lighter.

It doesn’t work perfectly every time, but more often than not, Bitsy and I are working together instead of against each other. 😄

Turns out, cooperation works better than control.

If Bitsy feels familiar to you, we’ll be talking more about getting to know your own “mini," and how working with her can make everyday life feel a little easier.

Meet Bitsy

I’d like you to meet someone who’s with me all the time. 😊
This is Bitsy.

Bitsy represents the Addy side of my brain; the ADHD part of me that’s curious, funny, energetic, distractible, often annoying, and sometimes a little stubborn.

She’s the one who pops in with questions at the least convenient moments.
The one who really doesn’t want to go to bed.
The one who gets bored halfway through paperwork… but lights up when something is fun or interesting.

For a long time, I tried to ignore her.
Or push her away.
Or tell her to behave.

I've learned that things go better when I work with Bitsy instead of against her.

Sometimes that means music.
Sometimes breaks.
Sometimes, turning a task into a game.
And sometimes it just means a little more patience and compassion.

You’ll probably be seeing more of Bitsy around here.
She’s my constant companion, and honestly, life makes a bit more sense when I acknowledge she’s along for the ride. 💛

Show/tell me about YOUR Bitsy side below!

Trying to do paperwork or any tedious task with ADHD feels a lot like trying to reason with a 2-year-old.

I’ll sit down, fully aware that this is not the fun part… but it has to be done.

And almost immediately, the toddler shows up.

“I’m hungry.”
“Can we play that new game on your phone?”
“Hey… who was the actor who played the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz?”

I try to ignore it. (ugh)

The questions get louder.
More insistent.
Increasingly annoying.

So I negotiate.
“Give me 10 more minutes.”
“Let me finish this first.”
“We’ll do that after.”

The toddler is… unconvinced.

Living with ADHD is basically constant negotiation with a very curious, very persistent little s**t. 😂

What kind of things has your ADHD gremlin said when you're trying to focus??

What if you’re not broken?

If you were diagnosed with ADHD later in life (or you’ve been wondering if ADHD might explain a lot), you might find yourself doubting your diagnosis, feeling “behind,” or questioning who you really are after years of masking.

As we head into a new year, I’m offering a gentle, neurodivergent-affirming workshop for women who want to pause, reflect, and get curious; shifting from self-doubt toward rebuilding self-trust and clarity about what might come next.

What If You’re Not Broken?
✨ ADHD, Masking, and Rebuilding Self-Trust in Women
🗓 Two live Zoom options (same workshop):
• Wednesday, Jan 28 at 6:00 PM CT
• Saturday, Jan 31 at 8:30 AM CT
👥 Small group (max 10)
💻 Online | $17

This isn’t about fixing anything or having it all figured out. It’s about understanding yourself with more compassion and maybe having a few “ohhh… that makes sense” moments along the way.

(If cost is a barrier, feel free to reach out.)

Do you ever argue with yourself!?

Late at night, I’m sitting on the couch, barely able to keep my eyes open.

I think to myself, “I should probably go to bed.”

That’s when my ADHD brain, which has fully transformed into a 2-year-old, says:

“I don’t want to!!”
“You can’t make me!!”

I respond, shaking my head in disbelief, “But… I am you!!!”

ADHD is wild. 😂

Tell me about one of your "arguments" below!

I’ve realized that my ADHD brain is basically a tiny gremlin or toddler.

She has opinions.
She has timing.
And she does not like to be ignored.

On days I wake up feeling motivated and start planning everything I’m going to get done, I have to be careful not to let her know.

Because the second she catches on, it’s like:
“Oh… you think we’re being productive today?”

Suddenly, I’m distracted.
Side quests appear.
And my motivation mysteriously disappears.

It's like she just said, "The hell you say!" 😂

My Journey Part 4

After the confusion, the relief, and even the grief, I started to ask a different question.

Not “What’s wrong with me?”
But “What’s actually getting in my way?”

For me, understanding my ADHD changed everything, but it wasn’t about trying harder or fixing myself.

It was about learning how my brain works…
and getting support that fit me.

If you’re somewhere in this process, newly diagnosed, self-questioning, or just tired of pushing, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

“What part of this journey are you in right now?”

Sometimes the most important step is simply naming what’s really in the way.

My Journey Part 3

After the relief settled in, I noticed something I hadn’t expected.

Grief.

I found myself wondering how things might have looked if I’d had answers earlier.

There was sadness… and a little anger too.

Not because I wasn’t grateful, but because some losses only become visible once things finally make sense.

Both relief and grief are part of this process.

And both deserve space.
