About Me

Hi, I'm Heidi Bledsoe

After 25 years of marriage with my ADHD husband and raising two children with ADHD, I thought I had figured it out. I was wrong.

Despite years of learning about ADHD, our family was still struggling. I was spinning plates, trying to manage everyone's needs, and slowly burning out.

My Breaking Point

After 25 years of marriage and years of therapy, I felt like a complete failure. As the neurotypical partner, I thought I could fix, do what was needed, pick up the slack, be the working memory, planner, human clock... I became hypervigilant, trying to control the chaos until I burned out completely.

That's when I discovered coaching—and everything changed.

Coaching didn't just save my marriage—it transformed our entire family. For the first time, we had tools that actually worked with ADHD brains instead of against them. The transformation was so profound that I left my corporate career to become a coach myself.

My Unique Perspective

As a neurotypical coach in a 25-year ADHD marriage and having two children with ADHD, I can see the patterns most people get stuck in, and how ADHD can be as diverse as any other human.

I understand the ADHD partner's experience: the shame, the good intentions that don't translate to follow-through, the exhaustion of feeling misunderstood.

I understand the neurotypical partner's experience: the loneliness of managing everything, the confusion when love isn't enough, the slow build of resentment.

Most importantly, I understand both sides at once—which is exactly what you need to move forward.

Coaching is a pivotal addition to your toolkit.

In my practice, I use evidence-based techniques and strategies to help clients develop the skills they need to make meaningful progress, empowering clients to not just manage ADHD, but to thrive.
