Welcome to ADHD Unpacked!

I'm so happy you're here

This is ADHD Unpacked — practical, ADHD-friendly productivity advice for professionals who want to work with their brains, not against them.

Every week-ish, I translate research into strategies that actually work for ADHD brains. No rigid systems or telling you to “try harder”—just science-backed insights, flexible tools, and absolutely zero judgment.

About ADHD Unpacked

• You’ll hear from me about once a week. ADHD Unpacked uses two different platforms. I’ll post on Substack once a month, and I’ll send my regular email newsletter about 3x a month

• You’ll get a monthly Substack post with cutting-edge ADHD science and practical implications for your everyday life. For example:

  • Women and ADHD

  • ADHD and romantic relationships

  • Hyperfocus

• You’ll also get my email newsletter. These are short-yet-mighty emails filled with quick, actionable tools and strategies, plus insights about things that have worked for me and for my high-achieving ADHD clients

• And it’s completely free! But if you’d like to contribute, 100% of paid subscription proceeds funds ADHD coaching scholarships for people in financial need

About Me

I help ADHD professionals stop fighting their brains, so they can do the things they love.

When I was a PhD student, I felt like I was drowning in an enormous, high-stakes, unstructured workload. I became fascinated with productivity systems—and, pretty soon, other students started coming to me for advice.

I’m also passionate about mental health, self-compassion, and breaking free from patterns of overachieving. It took me years to understand that my self-worth is more than just the lines on my CV.

As a professor, I loved working with students on understanding not just how to be productive, but also how to balance their achievements with care for their well-being.

When I met my husband and learned that he had ADHD, so many of my favorite qualities in him — his spontaneity, humor, and dynamic energy — were inextricably linked to his unique ADHD brain. And I saw how little support the neurotypical world gives to those of us who don’t fit into rigid neurotypical assumptions.

In this newsletter, I share practical tools I've developed, break down the latest ADHD research in accessible language, and include real stories from my own journey and from my work as a coach for high-achieving ADHD professionals.

Let’s get you the informatio and strategies you need to stop fighting your brain — and start finishing the things you love.

Warmly,

Taylor
