Reconnect with your writing before September swallows it
Breakthrough Summer
A 2-week bootcamp for ADHD writers
Make real, focused progress in two weeks — so you walk into September already moving, instead of carrying another unfinished project into another busy season.
August 17 – 28 • Breakthrough Summer • Reconnect to your work before September madness hits
Does this sound (uncomfortably) familiar?
- At the end of every day this summer, you told yourself: "It didn't happen today, but I'll write tomorrow"
- You want this year to be different
- You have a project that's been waiting for months
- When you're meeting someone, you show up. But you never really make time for yourself.
- You're worried that in September, you'll have to admit you failed – again.
I have a confession to make...
I’m the person who helps ADHD writers structure their summers before they completely get away from them. I know exactly how unscheduled time starts out looking like freedom and ends up feeling like guilt.
But two summers ago, I fell right into the trap myself. I kept saying, “I’ll have time for that this summer” about 1001 projects (writing my book, getting my driver’s license, finding a home to buy…), until I ended up with a list I’d never be able to complete. And the writing never happened.
That’s when I realized: knowing about the trap isn’t enough. The structure has to be built in.
So I decided to build exactly what I wish I’d had.

Breakthrough Summer is for...
If this makes you nod yes:
- You’re tired of fighting your brain every time you try to write
- You have a writing project you've drifted from — and you want to find your way back to it
- You feel your (suspected) ADHD makes it hard to be productive
- You know you do better when you work alongside other people
- You'd love to start the new term reconnected to your work, instead of guilty and behind
Breakthrough Summer was meant for you.
Probably not your time:
- You think it might be nice to write a book someday — but you don't have a specific project yet
- You want someone to finally bully you into being disciplined
- You'd rather keep ignoring the effects of ADHD on your writing practice
This might be better for you when your ideas are a little bit further along.
What you get
When I started hosting body doubling sessions and coaching groups a few years ago, I saw how much more joy and progress my clients experienced when they found true connection with others like them. That’s the power Breakthrough Summer was built on.
Here’s what’s included:
Connect to your work
Opening call
Goal setting, sharing hopes, getting to know one another, and the ADHD challenges that might get in the way.
10 body doubling sessions
The body doubling room is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday. So you can find a double whenever you need one. PLUS: I’ll be there 1-2 hours every day.
Connect to others
Telegram community
Find a body double any time, share when you’re stuck, engage in gentle competition, and message me whenever you need to.
3 hot seat coaching calls
Bring your writing, organization and planning challenges, leave with ADHD-friendly solutions specific to YOUR situation.
Connect to how your ADHD brain works
3 on-demand trainings
Access to video trainings on organizing time, motivating yourself with ADHD, how to organize your writing sessions, and more.
2 Exclusive workbooks
Two workbooks that will help you set tiny, achievable goals for the bootcamp, and adjust them at the midway point.
A note on timing
Sessions are scheduled to work across the Americas, Europe/Africa, and Australasia. Once you register, you’ll get a calendar you can subscribe to that shows every session in your own local time — no conversion required.
And if you miss a live session here and there — you still have everything else. The room, the community, the workbooks, the trainings. Missing a call doesn’t mean missing the bootcamp.
Why this works
When I first started calling myself an ADHD writing coach, I thought I knew what coaching was: talking to one person, helping them reach their goals. The field of “ADHD writing coaching” didn’t really exist yet, so I had no way to know different.
After a few years and hundreds of clients, I noticed something was missing. My 1:1 sessions gave people accountability — but they were spaced too far apart. The writing happened, or didn’t, in the long stretch in between.
So, I added body doubling sessions. Productivity soared. And then something else happened that I hadn’t planned for: people started caring about each other’s projects.
There was something about groups that made the difference — enough that I started running coaching groups too.
Breakthrough Summer combines both, in a condensed two weeks: daily body doubling to keep you moving, and hot seat coaching to work through what’s actually stopping you.
I’ve worked with hundreds of ADHD writers, and I keep seeing the same trap: more research, another outline, one more revision of the plan — always almost ready to start, never quite starting. Discipline was never the problem. What you needed was structure, and structure with accountability is exactly what this bootcamp gives you.
Self-compassion over discipline. Always.
Here's where you could be in September
- It's the first week back — new schedules, new routines, the household in full chaos. You find half an hour. And for once, that half hour goes to writing — not to hunting for the document or trying to remember where you left off.
- You open the right file on the first try. You know exactly what comes next, because you left yourself a trail back in August.
- The guilt that used to sit on every attempt? Gone. You're not negotiating with yourself anymore.
- Writing has stopped being the too-tight t-shirt you keep trying to wrangle yourself into. It's a comfortable old sweater — worn-in, easy, completely and uniquely yours.
- And when someone asks about your project this autumn? You answer with a smile.

And here's what that looks like across two weeks
Someone in the last round of Breakthrough Summer had been circling the same chapter for years — always researching, always rebuilding the outline, never quite writing.
Using the workbooks, she set ten small milestones, showed up to the body doubling room each day, and did the next small thing.
Some days the milestone barely moved. She showed up anyway.
Two weeks later, she’d finished that outline — actually finished, not revised again — and written the first of its six sections.
And more than that: she knew her next three steps. After years of circling, she wasn’t lost anymore. She was pointed at the next thing.

You might still be wondering...
September is coming whether you sign up or not. The only question is whether you walk into it with two weeks of momentum behind you, or the same unfinished project you’re carrying right now.
Registration closes August 16. After that, the room opens without you in it.
You don’t need a finished plan. You don’t need to believe it’ll work yet. You just need to show up.
