Comfort … it is a tricky one.
On one hand, growth is much harder if one is constantly anxious in their environment, having to be hyper vigilant to avoid any possible “misstep.” Do you feel those cortisol levels rising? Chest tight? Heart racing? Being under constant stress is not healthy.
But, on the other hand, we need to push ourselves outside of our comfort zone to allow for change to happen. Isn’t that how we develop confidence, by trying something, despite being new at it, and seeing our own improvement over time?
Yes and yes.
When learning to swim we don’t go straight into the deep end of a pool, we choose one with a shallow end. If not, we have a floatation device or another person there teaching us, supporting us. We learn gradually, beginning with a level of challenge where we are not in over our heads.
Now what about your wellness and desire to live with ease in a neurotypical world, that is why you’re here, isn’t it? The adhd SOCIAL HUB fills the gap in support for adults with ADHD/ AuDHD. We provide a group environment where neurodivergence is accepted and supported, a space where there is the opportunity to better understand yourself, build new awareness, learn skills, and foster new connections. It is a place where you can learn to live better with your unique brain wiring and fully accept yourself, without being under constant stress.
This is a healthy way to learn. It is how we become confident to try new things. We do this at the pace we choose is best for ourselves. Some move faster, some slower and all are just right!
Do you desire to get out in the world and live the life you want with a more regulated nervous system, one that is not under constant stress?
Are you the one standing in your own way when a resource exists to support you?
The hard truth I had to learn was that my anxiety, my ego, and the unhelpful and untrue stories that I told myself had been holding me back for too long. Years gone by when I could have taken steps to do something about it. This community is here so that taking steps out of your comfort zone feels a little easier, more doable.
The social hub has the kindest people, people like you We all want the opportunity to grow without pressure, a supportive environment, a place where we don’t feel different, and the wonderful feeling of a calm, regulated nervous system.
If you repeatedly put yourself in the right environment, the one that provides that ideal balance of challenge and support, growth will take care of itself. Trust me, I have witnessed this countless times and it is the reason I continue to do what I do. Our non-clinical, group support works!
This September are you ready to add a regular schedule of support to your life? 12 weeks, same people, every Sunday.

DREAM BIG!
If you build it they will come
One day the adhd SOCIAL HUB will have a space of our own that is open from dawn till dusk. Imagine our clean, uncluttered space: soft lighting, natural plants, wood accents, sleek and modern, yet warm and inviting, comfy couches and chairs, weighted blankets, work/study stations, natural light, sound dampening panels … Feels good, right?
This will be a place where we will gather, learn, share, laugh, and be in community with one another. A place where “everyone knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.”
As always, I have my ears to the ground for any philanthropists who believe in this vision and want to help us fast track it. If you have some ideas for “the hub” please reach out.
*A special thanks for the Adult Centre for ADHD for being a supporter since our early days by providing us space in their boardroom. When community cares about each other it helps us grow, and then we all benefit. The Adult Centre for ADHD provides much more beyond assessments. I highly recommend attending one of their free online webinars. They have one upcoming on September 17th on AuDHD.
*Another big thank you, this time to Arc’teryx, for providing a generous donation to wrap up our Summer Sunday’s Series. This type of community support means everything to us! Thank you!

“What’s The ‘Hub’ All About?”
Come to one of our free online mini support group + Fall Series information sessions to find out.
For around the cost of 2 counselling sessions, this Fall, set yourself up for 12 weeks of growth where you will build a habit of support and positive change, belonging to a hybrid (in-person and online) adult (ages 19+) ADHD/AuDHD support group in Vancouver. A lot can happen in three months 💛
Three months may seem long, but it is a very short period of time. If you are wanting to fast track understanding and managing your ADHD/AuDHD, belonging to a tightly facilitated, weekly group helps. I know this because I have witnessed it. It is what motivates me to continue to provide non-clinical support, a place where people have the opportunity to be a part of a community where they can practise and implement what they have learned from physicians, therapists, counsellors, and coaches and make living with ADHD/AuDHD a little easier.
What is the purpose of a 12 week group?
This is not about trying to “fix” yourself. I will always have ADHD and never be perfect. Yesterday I “lost” my car keys … in my car! Yup 😐 Moments like these will continue to pop up, but now instead of shaming myself, I smile and remind myself that I am human.
These groups are about growth at your own pace, with the focus always being on what is most important to you. Yes, coaching questions get asked! If you are at a stage in your life where you want change, are willing to challenge yourself, and a consistent schedule feels right for you, then our Fall support group series could be a good fit. I like to think of it kind of like a gym membership, but for your mental wellness. You show up each week and gradually, with some effort, change happens. By the end of 12 weeks you look back and realize how much stronger you have become.
My intention with this group series is to provide a space for you to reframe being neurodiverse. Even if you don’t speak once over the 12 weeks, you will learn. Let me explain. By being in the company of others who are working to change their ADHD/AuDHD experience to one that is more manageable you will likely start to:
Gain more awareness of how your ADHD/AuDHD shows up and the impact it has on your day to day
Feel less alone
Be inspired and motivated, as you hear others’ stories and get to know them.
Get better at noticing those limiting beliefs (CBT Skills you may have learned in therapy) that inevitably come up for every human, and even more so as we work towards change.
Come to a greater understanding that you only have control over yourself, but that still means you have a lot of choice.
That your environment impacts you a great deal, both positively and negatively.
Start to trust yourself and your instincts in what is right for you and begin to loosen the hold that comparison and negative self-talk has on you.
Come to better understand your sensitive nervous system, those painful feelings of rejection, and begin to work with it, rather than against it.
Change is uncomfortable, this is expected. Many emotions will come up, notably grief, anger, frustration, sadness, pity, and negative self-talk to name a few.
Sounds awful, right? But with change there also comes insight, relief, acceptance, ease, contentment, happiness, joy and many other feelings that contribute to mental wellness and reduce our stress levels.
Like a gym for your brain, having the habit of structured weekly support, while being part of a regular group as you learn a new way of living with neurodiversity is, in my opinion, a fast and enjoyable way to support lasting change.
Come join us, we are your group for growth 🌱

MY BACKPACKING RULE:
DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIGGER PROBLEM
A niggling rubbing in your boot? Stop and manage it before it becomes a huge blister.
I try to apply this same rule in my day to day life with many things ranging from health to relationships. Avoidance may be the easier path initially, but it often ends up creating a larger problem.
