You’ve started recognizing the patterns. Now what?

I’m Darin. I’ve Been There Too.​

 

For most of my life, I got very good at adapting. I built a career in IT, moved into leadership, solved problems and became the person people came to when they needed someone to listen. From the outside, things worked.

What I didn’t understand for a long time was how much energy I was spending trying to function in ways that didn’t always fit my brain.

My own experience with ADHD and autism gave me language for patterns I’d been living with for decades — masking, burnout, overthinking, people-pleasing and the constant effort of trying to meet expectations that didn’t always fit.

That experience shapes how I coach today.

I’m an ICF-trained coach through Rhodes Wellness College, and I work primarily with neurodivergent adults who are starting to recognize some of these same patterns in their own lives.

I’m not here to tell you how you should live. I help you notice what’s actually happening, understand what’s taking so much out of you, and decide what you want to do differently.

Because sometimes recognizing the pattern is where everything starts.
