Hey, I'm Wendy

You can be brilliant and have ADHD

I get what it's like to know you're fully capable of awesomeness and still feel like you're constantly dropping balls.

I get the exhaustion of trying to hold it all together while your nervous system is screaming. I get what it's like to look "successful" on the outside while feeling like a mess on the inside.

And I'm here to tell you that you're not broken. Your brain isn't defective. You're just operating with a dysregulated nervous system and a depleted body budget.

Once you understand that? Everything changes.

You can't willpower your way out of a nervous system that's running on empty. Trust me, I tried.
Learning to regulate my nervous system has been truly life-changing.

It's a common thing people talk about... regulating your nervous system. Before I lived it, I really didn't understand what a difference it makes.

Here's what's different now:

  • I make plans that I actually see through to completion
  • While I still catastrophize occasionally, I'm not constantly thinking about all the things that can go wrong at every moment of every day
  • I feel deep pleasure in my whole being
  • I don't lose my sh*t like I used to (well, I still misplace my keys and lots of other things, but that's not what I mean by losing my sh*t)

But you know what really hit me?

When my older son told me: "Mom, you don't really yell anymore."

And when my younger son was having a meltdown, I remembered how to center myself—and within moments, his tantrum stopped.

That's when I knew this work isn't just for, it's for everyone I care about.

I don't want anyone else walking around under that heavy cloud like I used to. I want to help people get back into their bodies, stop fighting themselves, feel safe enough to take up space, lean into their softness, and feel some damn joy.

How I Got Here

My journey into neuroscience didn't start in a classroom—it started in a hospital room.

My youngest son was born with a brain injury. The doctors were helpful, but they couldn't give me the full picture I was looking for. So I went looking myself. I dove headfirst into neuroscience research. 

What started as a desperate mom trying to help her special needs kid turned into an obsession. A beautiful, nerdy, "wait-did-I-just-spend-six-hours-reading-research-papers-again" kind of obsession.

Having kids shifted something fundamental for me. I didn't want to repeat the same patterns I grew up with. And having a special needs child? That's a constant obstacle course of triggers. But it's also what forced me to do the work.

And let's face it, we all know we get A LOT of our issues from our parents. I know moms get blamed for a lot of the problems we all have but I was determined to make sure that the problems my kids had weren't the same ones I struggled with. 

Finding answers to my issues wasn't easy. Like:

  • Why could I hyper-focus for hours on things I loved but couldn't remember to pay a bill.
  • Why did my emotions feel so BIG.
  • Why do I thrive in chaos but fall apart when things get too quiet.
  • Why pleasure—real, embodied pleasure—was so damn hard to access.

Here's what I discovered: The same research that helped my son understand his brain also explained everything about MY brain.

Turns out, I have ADHD. Like, check-all-the-boxes ADHD.

  • Always late (but worth the wait, I promise).
  • Hyper-focusing on the wrong thing.
  • A thousand ideas without follow-through.
  • Overstimulated easily but also craving ALL the stimulation.
  • The classic over-achiever → freeze/shutdown → burnout cycle.
  • I'd gladly drop what I was doing to help everyone but myself. (Born and raised a people pleaser, what can I say.)

But understanding my brain through the lens of metabolic ecology, nervous system regulation, and neuroplasticity?

Changed. My. Entire. Life.

I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to help you understand how beautifully, intelligently designed you already are.

What I Actually Do

Honestly? It depends on how you found me.

If you're here from The Perimenopause Revolution Summit (which I hosted), you probably know me as the coach who talks about neuroscience, stress, hormones, burnout, and nervous system regulation—without pretending your whole life can be fixed by the latest supplement trend.

If you found me through Clubhouse or Psychedelic Revelations (the podcast I co-host with Dana Harvey every Friday), you've heard me talk about how people are turning to psychedelics and plant medicines to heal and regulate in ways that no prescription ever could.

And if you're in that space, you know I'm a huge fan of microdosing. (Fun fact: my nighttime ADHD microdosing protocol was featured in James Fadiman & Jordan Gruber's book "Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance"!) But I don't only talk about psilocybin and classic psychedelics. I work with all kinds of legal plant allies like Amanita muscaria, blue lotus, and Kanna.

If you've been around a while, maybe you worked with me back in the day when I built websites (Fit Fab Websites, baby!) and set up backend systems for women entrepreneurs trying to do it all themselves.

And if you know me from Owning Your O—well then you know pleasure isn't just part of my work. It is foundational.

Regardless of whether someone comes to me for microdosing supportbusiness coaching for ADHD entrepreneurs, or reconnecting with pleasure and embodiment, my approach is always the same:

Nervous system first.
Science-backed always.
Deeply compassionate, forever.

I'm your big sister who's been there, done that, fucked up a bunch, learned the hard way, and now wants to show you the shortcuts. I'll celebrate your wins, hold you through your breakdowns, and lovingly call you out when you're bullshitting yourself.

The Credentials Part (If You Care)

I've spent thousands of hours studying neuroscience, nervous system regulation, psychedelics, somatic practices, and ADHD. Not because I had to, but because I genuinely love this stuff.

That said, here's the resume version:

  • Trauma-informed educator & coach
  • Founder of Owning Your O (orgasm & neuropleasure coaching)
  • Co-host of Psychedelic Revelations podcast (4,000+ listeners, 110+ episodes)
  • Host of Wendy Goes Deep podcast
  • Host of The Perimenopause Revolution Summit
  • Citizen-led psychedelic researcher with Mothers of the Mushroom
  • Quoted ADHD expert in "Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance" by James Fadiman, PhD & Jordan Gruber, JD (my nighttime ADHD microdosing protocol is featured in the book!)
  • Past systems strategist & website builder (still love a good workflow when it serves the nervous system)
  • Big nerd for: neuroscience, mitochondria, dopamine, estrogen, fascia, herbal allies… basically anything related to how we experience life

When I'm Not Coaching ...

Ready to Work Together?

Whether you're exploring microdosing, building an ADHD-friendly business,
or reclaiming your relationship with pleasure—I'd love to support you.

This space is built on science, connection, and radical respect. I believe your nervous system is sacred, pleasure is a birthright, rest is essential, and life is meant to be enjoyed. ADHD is not the root cause, they are symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system. You’re not broken. Your body is divinely intelligent and is doing exactly what it was designed to do. I believe in easy practices that create lasting change, including somatics, psychedelics, mindset shifts, nervous system repair, and a little helping of magic. There is an unseen force (actually there are more than one) that shapes our lives. Science and spirituality are different sides of understanding (The explained vs the unexplained). My goal is to help you remember who the F! you are. Everything is energy. All lives are important. Black lives matter. Queer lives matter. All bodies deserve care, dignity, and support. When one of us suffers, we all suffer. And last but not least:

The best gift you can give the world is to regulate your nervous system.
