Your brain is different. So why wouldn’t

the lifestyle that supports your brain

also be different?

Create a life custom-built for your AuDHD brain, not someone else's expectations.

(Because let's face it—mainstream advice was never designed for brains like ours.)

I’m Adria Sophia

(she/her), Autistic ADHDer, Neurodivergent Coach & cohost of the AuDHD (mostly) Unscripted Podcast

I help Autistic ADHDers stop trying to fix themselves and instead redesign their life ecosystem to match their unique brain so they can reclaim their energy for what matters instead of just surviving another day.

I know how exhausting it is hitting wall after wall trying to live a "normal" life. Over the past decade, I’ve supported hundreds of women & nonbinary folks who don’t fit the mold to find their own ways.

I don't try to fix you to fit the world; I help you redesign your world to fit you.

Here’s my story.

As AuDHDers…

We override what our bodies or intuition are telling us, putting more stake in what society or the people around us say because we’ve been told our needs are wrong so often.

We consistently push past our actual capacity (everyone else seems to be fine doing 5 things a day so I must just not have found the right system / strategy / mindset yet).

We alternate between boom & bust cycles where our ADHD side drives the ship, moving fast doing-all-the-things…until we burn out and our Autistic side needs weeks (or months) of recovery.

The problem is we’re holding our brains and ourselves to unrealistic expectations.

We’re trying over and over to do things in ways that don’t actually work for our brains. (And when we fail, we’re told to just try harder.)

We’re bumping up against impossible rules that weren’t made for us.

We’re stumbling our way along society’s laid out life path.

We’re making backwards decisions for our lives based on what we see working for others.

The Hidden Toll…..

of Living in a One-Size-Fits-All World

Let's be honest about the real cost of playing by rules that don’t work for us:

  • Most of us are spending a huge chunk of our daily energy just masking, dealing with sensory stuff, and trying to navigate spaces that weren't built for us. No wonder we're exhausted by dinnertime (or honestly, like 2pm).

  • We hop on and off the burnout merry-go-round, spending months of our year either heading into burnout, deep in it, or clawing our way back out. That's time we could be using for literally anything else.

  • When we're constantly depleted, our relationships take the hit. We cancel plans, misunderstand each other, and struggle to explain why we're so overwhelmed when everything looks "fine" from the outside.

  • We try different types of work, different systems, different productivity hacks... but it's like trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole, then blaming the peg when it doesn't fit.

  • Maybe the biggest cost is watching our hope slowly disappear as each new strategy or system we try doesn't create the lasting change we're desperately seeking.

What if we did life differently, in ways that might seem strange to others but that leave us feeling resourced and alive with hope and excitement?

What if we started advocating for ourselves with loved ones and at work — asking for (and receiving) accommodations & understanding?

What if we found places and people to safely unmask with, recovering a treasure trove of energy and shoring up what we didn’t realize were major drains to our capacity?

What if we knew & honored our capacity & actual needs, allowing us to finally experience a healthy balance in life, possibly for the first time ever?

That’s what it means to design your ecosystem for your neurotype.

What if your life actually worked for your brain?
