Nobody Handed You a Manual for How Your ADHD Works in College
The Manual You Never Got: 12 weeks of private ADHD coaching, starting with a short application.
You Are Figuring This Out in Real Time
College came with more freedom than you have ever had, and less structure than you are used to. Nobody sat you down and explained how your ADHD works when your parents are not there to remind you, when your schedule changes every day, and when the whole system assumes you already know how to manage yourself.
You are figuring this out in real time. That is the situation, not a personal failing.
What You Have Probably Already Tried
You have probably already tried a planner or two. Maybe three. They start strong and then quietly stop, not because you are inconsistent, but because a system built for someone else's brain does not hold up once your week gets complicated.
Maybe you have tried executive-function coaching too, and it felt like homework about your homework. Checklists. Accountability calls. A system handed to you instead of one built with you.
That was not your failure. It was a mismatch. Generic support cannot know what matters to you, what your real week looks like, or where the friction is.
Understanding Before Strategy
The Manual You Never Got starts somewhere different: understanding before strategy. Before we talk about which planner or app might help, we talk about what is happening. Where does a Tuesday fall apart? What makes starting a paper harder than finishing one? What happens the week after a bad week?
Every abandoned system, missed deadline, or skipped class is not proof that something is wrong with you. It is information about what is not working yet, and why. Patterns are data, not verdicts.
How It Works
12 weeks, built around your semester.
Week 1: a 50-minute kickoff session, starting with where things stand right now
Weeks 2 to 11: ten 25-minute weekly sessions across five flexible themes: Understand, Build, Recover, Advocate, Personalize
Week 12: a 50-minute wrap-up session and your Personal College Operating Manual

What Changes By Week 12
Before
You are guessing. Trying strategies that worked for someone else, wondering why they do not stick, and quietly assuming the problem is you.
After
You understand how your ADHD shows up in college. You know where you tend to get stuck, and why. You have a few practical systems that fit your real life, not someone else's. And when something stops working, you know how to adjust it instead of starting over from scratch.
If You're the Parent Reading This
If you are the one who found this page, and likely the one covering the cost, we see you, and we want you to feel good about the investment.
Here is how it works: you get the logistics, scheduling and payment information. What happens in her sessions stays between her and Jorie. It is hers to share with you if and when she wants to.
That is not us keeping you at arm's length. It is what makes the coaching work. She opens up more when she knows the room is hers.
For the student: this is not someone checking your grades or telling you what to do. This is yours.
Good to Know
[REFUND AND RESCHEDULING POLICY: Jorie to decide]
Young women 18 to 25 with ADHD, or recently diagnosed, starting college, transferring, or adjusting to the transition. You want more independence and you are open to coaching.
That is common, and it is not a sign coaching cannot work for you. Generic executive-function coaching hands you someone else's system. This starts with understanding your patterns first.
No. Your parent receives scheduling and payment information only. Session details stay between you and Jorie unless you choose to share them.
A Personal College Operating Manual: 5 to 8 pages covering what helps you get started, what makes things harder, and the systems that work for you.

P.S. If you are the student reading this at 1 a.m. the week before classes start, still trying to figure out how any of this is supposed to work: that counts. You do not have to have it figured out before you reach out.

Self-awareness is not a soft skill. It is the foundation that makes every strategy, system, and tool work.
