About

Hi, I’m Gaelina Tesfaye an ADHD mother, late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult.

I created this space out of both necessity and love, because I’ve lived the exhaustion, the confusion, and the quiet heartbreak of trying to parent a neurodivergent child while navigating my own neurodivergent brain. And I know I’m not alone.

I support ADHD families, parents, and adults who want practical strategies for calmer, more connected living. As a mom, a late-diagnosed adult myself, and someone who has walked this journey firsthand, I understand how exhausting and confusing ADHD can feel. My coaching focuses on helping you thrive - not just your child - because your wellbeing shapes your entire home. 

For years, I did everything “right” on the outside. I have a career in public service, led big communications campaigns for the City & County of Denver, and showed up for my community. But behind the scenes, I was burning out, trying to juggle motherhood, cultural expectations, and a brain that processed the world differently.

It wasn’t until my son began showing signs of ADHD and sensory challenges that I started to uncover how deeply misunderstood and unsupported families like mine really are, especially in Black and Brown communities. Schools didn’t have the tools. And most parenting advice didn’t speak to our reality at all.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I’ve experienced firsthand what it feels like to constantly struggle, question yourself, and try to make sense of a brain that works differently. My own journey - learning, unlearning, building systems - fuels my deep commitment to supporting adults and families who are navigating similar paths.

So, I decided to become what I couldn't find.
