It’s almost inevitable that hitting rock bottom forces you to assess your life.  Who are you?  What do you want from your life?  Doyle discovered that she had been hiding behind her roles – mother, wife, writer.  Some hide behind roles such as ‘provider,’ ‘athlete’ or ‘person with (or without) ADHD.’

But that’s not the whole story – not even the best part of who you are.  For you are a person who is…(fill in the blank here) curious; happy; a deep thinker; an empath; loving; inventive; resilient…you get the idea.  We are not what we do.  We are not our label (ADHD or non)…we are something more.  Emotions.  Connection points.  A bundle of strengths.

Who are you underneath your roles and labels?  Who is your partner?
