"We may not know them all, but we owe them all."

Today, we pause to honor the courage, strength, and sacrifice of every individual who has served our country. Your dedication—both seen and unseen—has protected freedoms, supported communities, and shaped generations.

We see the weight that service can carry long after the uniform is hung up, and we are deeply grateful for the resilience and heart you continue to show every day.

From all of us at Imperfect Pathways, thank you—for your service, your sacrifice, and the countless ways you continue to make a difference.

Remember that Imperfect Pathways honors those who are or have served every day by offering 20% off ALL services as a small thank you for your commitment and courage.

November is National Adoption Month 💜

Your family might look different than what society expects—and that makes it even more beautiful. Maybe you're a single parent, part of the LGBTQ+ community, or your family doesn't fit into traditional boxes.

The truth is this:
You chose each other. That intentional decision to build your family, to say "you are mine and I am yours," is one of the most profound acts of love.

More than 100,000 children in the U.S. foster care system are waiting for someone to choose them. Whether you're considering adoption, navigating the process, raising adopted children, or you were adopted yourself—your story matters. Your family is valid, real, and worth celebrating.

This month, we honor every family created through adoption, in all its diverse and beautiful forms. You didn't just become a family—you chose to become one. That's the gift.

November is National Veteran and Military Families Month.

To the families who serve alongside our service members—through deployments, relocations, uncertainty, and sacrifice—thank you. Your strength often goes unseen, but it is the backbone of service.

At Imperfect Pathways, we recognize that service doesn’t end with the uniform. Families serve too — holding things together through long nights, missed milestones, constant change, and the weight of uncertainty.

You carry stories of strength, love, and endurance that deserve to be seen and supported — not just this month, but every day.

This month, Imperfect Pathways honors the resilience of military families and the unique challenges you face.

Because we know how important support is, we offer:

- Free initial consults for all service members and their families
- 20% off for all military service members, past or present
- 10% off for spouses and adult children of military service members

These discounts apply every day on all Imperfect Pathways services.

Our coaches include those who’ve lived this life firsthand and bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to walk beside you through the hard moments and the healing ones.

You don’t have to do it alone.

As we wrap up October’s focus on ADHD and Menopause Awareness, we want to speak to everyone in this unique life stage:

Whether you are diagnosed or not...
Whether you are medicated or not...
Regardless of any label... you deserve specialized care.

We are women who are in or have gone through perimenopause and some of us also have ADHD. We get the battle you face.

Perimenopause alone is difficult to navigate. Research is still being done as we speak to fully understand all the effects it has on our bodies and our minds. Who better to help you walk this path than those who genuinely get it?

If you have ADHD or not, we are here to support you through this journey. You do not have to suffer. There are things we can do to make this transition more smooth.

This is not a stage of life where you can continue doing things the same way you always have. Our bodies aren't the same bodies we used to have, and neither are our brains. It is time to build yourself a support team—one that gets it and has the expertise.

It takes a village, and we want to be a part of yours.

🎁 Time is Running Out! Our 10% off coaching packages ends in a few days! Be sure to book your free initial consult now or purchase your package before time runs out.

If you have ADHD and you're entering perimenopause... we need to talk.
You might be noticing something's changed. The ADHD management strategies that worked for years? Suddenly they're not working anymore.

You're more forgetful. More overwhelmed. More emotionally reactive. And you can't figure out what's different.

Here's what's happening:
When you have ADHD, your brain already operates with lower dopamine levels. You've likely spent years developing coping mechanisms to manage executive function, focus, and emotional regulation.
Then perimenopause hits.
Estrogen levels start fluctuating and dropping. And here's the critical part: estrogen directly supports dopamine production and regulation.

So now you're dealing with:
→ Lower baseline dopamine (ADHD)
→ PLUS fluctuating/dropping estrogen (perimenopause)
→ EQUALS a dopamine system that can't keep up

The coping strategies you've used for years? They were built for a different brain chemistry. And now that chemistry has shifted.

This isn't you getting worse at managing your ADHD. This is a neurochemical change that requires a different approach.

If this is resonating hard right now, you're not alone. And more importantly—there ARE specific strategies that work for this exact situation. We offer both the professional/educational experience as well as lived experience in this realm. Our specialized perimenopause and ADHD Coach work closely together to help you build a plan that works best for you.

Imagine the changes you could make if you just took that step towards support today.

Brain Fog: Is it ADHD, Perimenopause, or Both?

"Brain fog" is a common complaint, but for women with ADHD entering perimenopause, it's a multi-layered challenge! This Wednesday, during ADHD Awareness Month and Menopause Awareness Month, let's unravel the nuances of brain fog.

ADHD Brain Fog often feels like:
Scattered thoughts:
Jumping from one idea to another without completing tasks.

Difficulty initiating tasks:
Knowing what to do but struggling to start.

Memory retrieval issues:
"It's on the tip of my tongue!" moments.

Hyperfocus on the "wrong" things:
Deeply engaged in something irrelevant while important tasks loom.

Perimenopause Brain Fog often feels like:
A general mental slowness or "haze":
Difficulty processing information quickly

Word-finding difficulties:
Struggling to pull the right word from your vocabulary

Short-term memory lapses:
Forgetting why you walked into a room or what you just said.

Reduced mental stamina:
Feeling mentally exhausted quickly.

When you have both ADHD and perimenopause, these symptoms don't just add up; they multiply, creating an overwhelming sense of cognitive dysfunction. The hormonal shifts exacerbate the very executive function challenges that are foundational to ADHD.

At Imperfect Pathways, we're experts in distinguishing between these overlapping symptoms and providing integrated strategies. We are the only practice specializing in ADHD and Perimenopause in combination, offering clarity and control when your brain feels anything but clear.

🎁 Special Offer for October: Don't let brain fog steal your focus!
Get 10% off ADHD Coaching—a perfect complement to Perimenopause Coaching to clear the haze.

Ever feel like your ADHD medication just isn't working the way it used to? Or that your usual strategies are failing you?
You're not imagining it!

As we continue celebrating ADHD Awareness Month and Menopause Awareness Month, let's talk about the profound impact of perimenopausal hormones on your brain and your medication's efficacy.

Your hormones—especially estrogen—play a crucial role in how your brain processes and responds to neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine (the very ones your ADHD meds target).

When estrogen levels fluctuate wildly during perimenopause:
- It can change how your body absorbs and metabolizes your medication.
- It can directly alter the sensitivity of dopamine receptors in your brain.
- It impacts your natural production of these vital neurotransmitters, creating a less stable environment for your medication to work within.

This means you might experience:
- Medication feeling less effective.
- More pronounced "crashes."
- Increased side effects.
- A general feeling of being "off" or more symptomatic than usual.

It's not your fault, and it's not always a sign your medication is "wrong." It's often a sign that your body's internal chemistry has fundamentally shifted.

At Imperfect Pathways, we understand these complex interactions. We specialize in the unique combination of ADHD and Perimenopause, helping you navigate these changes with informed strategies.

🎁 Special Offer for October: Get 10% off ADHD Coaching, which can be combined with Perimenopause Coaching to address both sides of this equation!

Ready for solutions that consider your whole, shifting self? Stop struggling in silence.
