Women with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
are often diagnosed at midlife or menopause when hormones go crazy. But an ADDiva (pronounced "ay-dee-DEE-va") can come out of her (disorganized) closet at any age. If you suspect you might be a bit ADD-ish, jump in to find out more about ADDivas!

ADDivas (women with ADHD) are notorious for trying to hide our ADD-ish tendencies (it rarely works by the way), but it’s high time you started celebrating Who You Really Are and living the life you’ve always deserved!
You can get past the piles and the procrastination with a little help from the ADDiva Network, and emerge as the truly talented, amazing woman you are. Because of — not in spite of — your ADD.
Here in the ADDiva Network you’ll be supported with teleclasses, retreats, workshops and most importantly, connection with other ADD women, as you move through the Three Big Stages of living with and loving ADHD:
1. "Omigosh I have ADD, let’s fix it." stage which brings on a flurry of activity (hyperfocus anyone?). This phase includes diagnosis, medication, coaching, therapy, support groups, (re) organizing and structure.
2. "I’ve tried everything and I still have ADD!" stage which can be alternately disheartening and enlightening. Now you have a chance to put your arm around your ADHD and make it your friend. You might even find out you like yourself … a lot!
3. "Who Am I and What Are My Dreams?" stage that unlocks your passion and purpose. It’s my belief that ADD women have so much unrealized potential inside themselves that, when released, could change the world. Absolutely. Positively.
That’s what the ADDiva Network is all about - opening the door to the vast reservoir of frustrated possibilities that live within all of us, especially ADDivas who were diagnosed after age 40, when life becomes more precious.
So come on in. We’ve been waiting for you, dear friend.
