Answer to Some Common ADHD Challenges

You don’t need to relate to all of these. Open only what feels relevant to you.

Learn why to do lists and prioritization don’t work consistently and how to improve the odds of finishing projects.

Learn the proper path to staying motivated and attentive to what is meaningful in your life and create a lasting trust.

Learn how the “Neurotypical” ways of life and expectations hinder/dampen the strengths and brilliance of your unique nervous system and how to get them to support you rather than hinder you.

Not all Mindfulness meditations or practices work for the ADHD brain. Learn practices that calm your nervous system, bring focus to your mind and enhance your sense of joy and well-being.

Instructor’s Message

If you have ADHD, you are not broken — and you don’t need fixing.

In my years of teaching and working with neurodivergent minds, I’ve seen how often bright, capable people are misunderstood, mislabeled, or pushed to work against how their nervous system naturally functions.

This course was created to offer something different.

Here, you’ll learn how your ADHD brain actually works, why many traditional strategies don’t stick, and how to develop skills that support timeliness, follow-through, emotional steadiness, and self-trust — without shame.

We work with mindfulness practices designed specifically for the ADHD nervous system, combined with practical tools you can use in daily life.

My role is not to change who you are, but to help you recognize and utilize your strengths, understand your challenges, and learn how to live and work in ways that honor both.

You’re welcome exactly as you are.

More From Students and Clients:

Manijeh’s teachings have helped increase accountability with myself and increasingly become a better clinician. Her Life Optimization Method and approach exceed the training and education we’ve received to become therapists. It incorporates more depth into treatment regardless of diagnosis. It helps achieve a healthy happy lifestyle rather than just coping strategies/tools

~ Mary Aroyan, Psychotherapist

As a teacher and union representative, I always advocated for my colleagues and students, and yet, unable to advocate for myself, as I hadn’t developed much confidence yet. After completing Dr. Manijeh Motaghy’s course on the challenges and strengths of ADHD, I began to understand that neurodivergent brains function uniquely. Trying to make my brain operate in ways that are foreign to it, in order to meet the expectations of neurotypical people, is like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. Understanding and appreciating my neurodivergent brain’s way of operating has opened the doors of self-love and confidence to me. Dr. Motaghy responded to students with genuine empathy, understanding, scientific-based knowledge, and practical tools. For any complication, struggle, or grief that a student presented to her, Dr. Motaghy provided concrete ways to address these challenges for a positive outcome. As a result:

I have become more patient with myself and more understanding of how I learn and grow. I am very much looking forward to continue expanding my knowledge, skills and self-acceptance with Dr. Motaghy’s classes. If you have been experiencing any issues related to ADHD, I highly recommend Dr. Manijeh Motaghy and her excellent coursework. ~ Marlene Carlan
