new year, new stuff, same seth :)
Cast your mind back to 2022…
I was excited about neurodivergence coaching, and I genuinely enjoyed helping families. I poured a lot of myself into the work, driven by two realizations: I was burning out in the classroom, and I kept meeting parents and kids who had never had anyone sit down with them and explain how the school system actually works—how to navigate it, how to advocate, and how to help their child move through it.
No one had walked them through what it means to coach a child through the typical ups and downs of school while also supporting a student with anxiety, ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent presentations.
By the end of the 2023–24 school year, I had walked the picket line during a historic strike, supported some extraordinarily challenging students—the first ebbing waves of COVID-affected cohorts—and somehow juggled six or seven coaching clients at the same time. I experienced ADHD burnout and sharply reduced my workload.
In all honesty, I thought I was done.
I’m not entirely sure what made me start up again. Part of it comes from the sheer number of families—both professionally and personally—who’ve told me how lost they feel trying to support their neurodivergent kids through school and beyond. There’s an overwhelming amount of information out there, and sorting through it can feel like choosing lunch from a restaurant with a 40-page menu.
The rest of my reasons are harder to quantify: long-term classroom burnout, the desire to keep learning, the urge to build things, personal changes, ambition, and lessons learned from past missteps. No single “aha” moment—just a series of honest, look-in-the-mirror realizations that led me to the same conclusion: over the course of a long career, I’ve accumulated a unique, practical understanding of neurodivergence, and I know I can help families and adults navigate it.
Beginning in February 2026, I’ll be hosting a series of one-hour webinars on neurodivergence for parents, educators, and recently diagnosed adults. Each session will focus on a specific topic, combining clear explanations, practical tools, and take-home digital resources so you leave with more confidence and clarity.
Webinar Schedule

Neurodivergence and Executive Functioning (for Actual Human People)
These terms get tossed around constantly—but what do they really mean for your child, or for you? I’ll break down these often-vague concepts in plain language and show you how to identify executive-functioning breakdowns and plan practical supports that actually help.
Sunday, February 8, 2026 | 3–4pm PST
Neurodivergence and the School System: Who Is This Person Talking to Me About My Child—and Why Don’t They Make Sense?
Grab a metaphorical machete and hack your way through the jungle of acronyms, roles, and processes parents face when advocating for a neurodivergent child. I’ll cover the laws that created school supports, how school systems actually operate, key definitions, “magic words,” and the legal requirements schools are obligated to follow.
Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 1–2pm PST
Anxiety and Teens: What’s Actually Happening With Your Kiddo
Anxiety is a real beast, and more teens than ever are struggling with it. I’ll explain how anxiety differs from other challenges, what’s happening internally when your teen is anxious, what realistic expectations look like, and practical ways to interrupt the anxiety cycle.

The Many Faces of ADHD: Making Sense of Something That Apparently Everyone Has
We’ll explore what ADHD is—and what it isn’t—often-missed ways it impacts daily life, the hidden costs of ADHD, why your kid genuinely doesn’t see the clothes on the floor, and proactive ways to partner with them that build real, lasting skills.
