When things stop working the way they used to.


Andrea Toole

ADHD COACH & EDUCATOR

Hi Reader,

If you’re new to this list, welcome.

Many of you joined after downloading the Capacity Gap Audit through the Beyond Corporate Burnout Summit.

That audit is designed to show you where effort and expectations have drifted out of sync.

I see this often in high-functioning professionals, especially in midlife.

If you’ve already gone through it, you may have noticed that the issue isn’t always how hard you’re working.

It’s how your work and your capacity are structured.

ADHD & turning 50: A new podcast episode

I recently released a new episode of PRIMED for ADHD:

Turning 50 with ADHD: what changes

It’s more personal than my usual episodes.

I talk about how my experience of ADHD has changed over time, what’s different now, and what I understand that I didn’t before.

If things feel different or harder to manage than they used to, this will help you make sense of that.

Beyond Corporate Burnout sessions available

If you missed the Beyond Corporate Burnout Summit, the sessions are still available, and it’s back to the early-bird price of $97 until April 15.

The VIP All-Access Pass includes all presentations, including mine:

Three design shifts that make work feel lighter without lowering standards

If you missed the Summit live or want time to revisit the sessions, this gives you that.

The VIP pass also includes speaker bonuses valued at over $1000.

("Save My Free Spot" will take you there.)

How to work with me

If you want help sorting out what’s not working and what to change, there are three ways to work with me:

  1. The Stop Making It Harder session: A focused 60-minute conversation in which we identify one place you’re making this harder than it needs to be and define one shift that immediately makes things easier. It’s a focused, practical shift you can apply right away.
  2. The PRIMED Deep Dive, a 12-week structured coaching experience designed to rebuild the systems behind your work, energy, and focus.
  3. The Get Your Shit Together Deep Dive, a focused 10-week private coaching experience for women who already function at a high level but are exhausted by how much effort it takes to keep everything working.

I look forward to reading your answers.

Here’s to a lighter spring,

P.S. Last week, I shared a story about freezing during a speech at my sister’s bat mitzvah when I was nine.

That moment still says a lot about how my brain works.

Andrea Toole ADHD EDUCATOR/COACH Hi Reader, First time doing this, so bear with me. Today (Friday) at 12:45 pm Eastern, I'm hosting a Substack Live — about 20 minutes, no script, open floor. I'll be talking through the questions I hear most: Is it ADHD? Is it perimenopause? Why is my medication suddenly different? Why did my systems stop working? Bring whatever's been sitting in the back of your mind. Especially the questions you can't seem to get a straight answer to. Join the Live → See you...
