High School to College Success Story
Gabby's parents recently shared with us:
“Up until the end of middle school, Gabby found school very easy and she didn't have to work that hard to get good grades. She was struggling her junior year to get work done especially in math and AP Economics -- she would say she doesn't like the subject so she rarely put any study time into the classes. She could get good grades but struggled to organize her time and create a successful schedule that included meaningful study times so she could be more efficient and improve her grades, and have more and better college options.
When she wants to do something and likes it, she shows her talent and skill. With school, she struggled to get started with work and was up all night finishing late assignments. We were constantly knocking on her door, taking away her phone, and checking her portal. She didn't want to put in the extra effort to study or retake tests and her grades were reflecting this attitude.
Through weekly sessions with a Life Solved coach, Gabby created a routine each afternoon where she wrote down her homework assignments and upcoming tests or projects and mapped out her afternoon. She started working in smaller chunks of time and used her breaks to walk the dog so she could keep her energy up and have something to look forward to. Gabby added 15 minutes of study time each evening to look over her math and AP Economics work and made an appointment to meet with her teacher every Thursday to go over that week's material.
Through the strategies Gabby learned during coaching, she got into her first choice of college! She had an extremely successful freshman year at an excellent school and has a healthy balance between academics, a marketing internship in NYC, club hockey, and a college social life.
As a parent, we can offer Gabby support without the nagging and overly involved check-ins we felt we had to do before coaching. Our relationship with Gabby has changed for the better, and we feel confident she has the skills to be successful in school and after she graduates.”

"our Coach understands my daughters needs..."
“For the past several years, our Life Solved coach has been patiently and persistently helping my high schooler with ADHD to get organized and prioritize homework assignments. Our coach understands my daughter's needs, and brings a wealth of recommendations and best practices which have eased her stress with school. I can’t thank Life Solved Coaching enough!”

"The difference has been amazing!"
“Life Solved started working with our son, who has ADHD, in September 2020. He was struggling in middle school even with an IEP. He wanted to do well, but didn’t know how, and his self esteem was suffering. With his coach’s help he has learned to stay organized, manage his assignments, and communicate with his teachers. The difference has been amazing! He’s motivated and confident, and he likes school. He even made the honor roll for the first time! We are thrilled with his progress. Thank you, Life Solved!”

"It was such a relief to all of us..."
Life Solved coached our college student in everything from time management and study habits to budgeting. It was such a relief to all of us not only to have the expert guidance of her coach, but also an empathetic ear. Our student’s study habits and grades have improved dramatically, but more importantly so has her self esteem.

"I can't say enough good things about Life Solved!"
“Life Solved provided a fabulous executive functioning coach for my son who has ADHD-inattentive type, dyslexia, and some other learning challenges. His coach has been with him through his freshman year in college and now into his sophomore year. He's told me over and over again that he would not have made it through his freshman year were it not for his coach who helped him with planning, prioritizing, and managing his workload -- the kind of executive functioning skills he's weak in because of his ADHD. His coach has been available to my son for extra sessions on short notice when he's in a crunch with school work and needs a little extra help organizing his thoughts for a paper or project. Plus, she keeps me informed about my son's progress at school, which really eases my mind.”

"She helps me feel less overwhelmed..."
I have loved working with my Life Solved coach! As a graduate student, I have to juggle a lot of things and it has been life changing to have an ADHD coach. My coach has helped me organize my schedule, have better routines, and create study habits that work for me. She is caring, knowledgeable, and responsive. She helps me feel less overwhelmed which I really appreciate. I would highly recommend Life Solved Coaching to anyone with ADHD and learning disabilities.”

"things have really turned around..."
“My Life Solved coach was kind, supportive, and very easy to communicate with both in and outside of our sessions. She helped me nail my evening routine so I could start being on time to my morning obligations, provided me with great suggestions that helped me stop losing my things, and came up with excellent, simple strategies that allow me to complete tasks I struggle with. My ADHD is so severe and I felt endlessly frustrated with myself before I started my sessions with my coach. Things have really turned around as a direct result of my coaching. She’s the best!”

Adult Success Story
MARY RECENTLY SHARED
“Before I started coaching with Life Solved, things were pretty messy. I felt really unable to emotionally regulate with regard to work and life stress. I had reached a breaking point that demanded my attention because these problems were interfering with work relationships and deeply affecting my self-esteem and sense of self-worth, as well as overall productivity.
I felt a lot of shame about my struggles, which was counterproductive and only contributed to the obstacles. I was not good at time management, task initiation, prioritization, and emotional regulation.
Through working with my Life Solved coach, I was really able to get my feelings of shame under control because of the safe, non-judgmental, supportive space she provided in coaching sessions. Mistakes and missteps were no longer a source of shame and self-loathing, but simply an opportunity to re-evaluate and start again, looking to see what small, manageable things we could do to get back on my feet and start again. We also developed a "toolbox" of things I could do to troubleshoot commonly-occurring problems, such as journaling, body-doubling, breaking down tasks into super small items (like "open the file" or "write one sentence"), reset behaviors like meditation or stretching, and much more.
Now, I feel much more in control of my time and emotions. Of course, I still struggle with emotional regulation and time management and procrastination, but the systems we put in place make it so much easier and less daunting and even more exciting to get back on track, and I can do it more quickly. I never feel at a loss as to what I can do to make things better and that's a really good feeling.
This process has empowered me. Knowing what to do when I'm facing a struggle, and feeling certain that the tools will actually be effective, has reduced "bounce back" time dramatically and generally made me feel more hopeful about improvement. Before working with my coach, I was very nearly convinced that there was nothing I could do that would get me the results I so badly wanted. While I still struggle with some of the same challenges, knowing what I can do to help myself get started again is very empowering and confidence-building.
I feel like I've been given a pathway to actually feel proud of myself for facing and overcoming challenges. I'm so grateful I reached out for help-- these are tools that will help me the rest of my life. It was so worth the investment!”
