Why 12 Coaching Sessions Makes Sense
Short-term coaching rarely works for ADHD brains. Here's why a 12-week commitment is different:
Real change takes time—and your brain knows it.
Neuroscience shows that habit formation averages 66 days, with complex behaviors (like a consistent writing practice) needing 90+ days to feel automatic. Twelve weeks gives your brain the repetition it needs to rewire.
Progress over perfection.
Twelve sessions normalize "good enough" writing and build resilience without the pressure of quick fixes. You'll have time for thoughtful feedback, meaningful revision, and the inevitable messy middle of creative work.
You'll finally finish those abandoned drafts.
This focused support gives you the structure to make real progress and the crucial experience of follow-through. Completing a project breaks the cycle of starting-and-stopping and builds unshakeable confidence for future work.
Good to know…Clients find the 12-session package worthwhile because it pairs personalized guidance with accountability and brain-friendly strategies to help them finally make real progress. With a coach who understands ADHD writing brains, they experiment with new creative processes, quiet self-doubt, and build confidence as they discover what truly works for them—getting their words flowing again.
Coaching Journey Phases
While your coaching journey is tailored to your unique needs and is not strictly linear, these suggested phases help illustrate how we’ll work together:
1. Reclaim Your Narrative (Sessions 1–3)
Clarify your writing goals and vision
Identify blocks, overwhelm, and ADHD-related challenges
Begin drafting with strategies that align with your brain
2. Clarify Your Writing Life (Sessions 4–6)
Map out writing priorities and projects
Address mindset and motivation obstacles
Refine planning approaches without overthinking
3. Design Your Writing Routine (Sessions 7–9)
Build sustainable, brain-friendly writing habits
Create your Minimal Viable Writing Routine (MVWR)
Implement systems to maintain consistency and flow
4. Write Forward with Confidence (Sessions 10–12)
Troubleshoot challenges and maintain momentum
Review drafts, progress, and key learnings
Plan next steps for continued writing success beyond coaching
After Coaching ✧
✦ Clear, brain-friendly routines
✦ Sustainable writing habits
✦ Enjoyable progress without burnout
✦ Pride in your finished work
Before Coaching →
✦ Scattered routines
✦ Writing in exhausting sprints
✦ Long stretches without progress
✦ Guilt when you don’t write (and sometimes when you do)
Investment Options
Option A: $1,600 (paid in full) — one time payment
Option B: 4 monthly payments of $450 (totaling $1,800) — first payment due at signup, then monthly thereafter
Good to know…Use your 12 sessions anytime within six months from your first payment. Schedule them when you need them. Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, but the flexibility is yours.
What My Clients Are Saying…
“My coaching experience with Candice was transformative. With her guidance, we identified core issues around structure, boundaries, and goal setting that worked with my ADHD instead of against it. She provided targeted strategies to help me get through roadblocks so that I can continue working at a high level, while taking care of myself.”
— Diana A., Entrepreneur & Content Writer
“In a results-driven society, there’s so much shame if you’re a creative struggling to complete a project. After speaking with Candice, that shame quickly dissipates. She helps you find beauty in your process. Candice's knowledge of ADHD and personalized methods help you get out of a creative rut or when your brain draws a blank in the middle of a draft.”
— Terri H., Writer & Editorial Consultant
“Working with Candice completely transformed how I understand my brain. She made complex ideas feel simple and practical, and she truly listened, was patient, and answered all of my questions.”

I’ve been publishing poetry for three decades, writing scientific and nonfiction works for over ten years, and am currently exploring longer-form fiction. I’m also pursuing Board Certified Coach credentials to continuously enhance my ability to support clients in goal-setting, mindset, and writing productivity.
