Hey ADHDer...
welcome home
I Have ADHD is the ultimate self-development resource for adults with ADHD.

My name is Kristen Carder and I have adult ADHD.
If you feel overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and like you just can’t seem to reach your potential, you’re in the right place.
Most adults with ADHD are just waking up to its all-encompassing effect on their lives…from the office all the way to the bedroom…there is no facet of life that ADHD does not touch.
This is a good news/bad news situation, so if you’re freaking out, I got you.
I’m a certified life coach who helps adults with ADHD get sh*t done and enjoy their lives.
I’ll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from Point A to Point B.
free course
Most adults with ADHD are perfectionists.
This can look like:
- Procrastinating to avoid starting something that's difficult or unclear
- Making a to-do list that NO human could ever accomplish
- Quitting when things don't go well (or before you even start)
- Beating yourself up for your very human mistakes
- Editing and/or polishing something for far too long (…and now it's overdue)
- Spiraling in shame and self-loathing when things go wrong
- Staying small, not taking risks, not growing into your full potential in order to avoid failure
I've helped hundreds of adults with ADHD untangle themselves from perfectionism, and I can help you, too.

I wish I knew

here's what is true
If I can change my whole life, so can you.
I used to be a chronic under-performer, under-achiever, and under-earner.
This looked like me working part-time in a job I didn’t love, yelling at my kids a whole lot, and feeling like my life was out of control.
I was mad that I couldn’t pay my basic bills but had no idea what I wanted out of life or how to create anything different for myself.
I would lay in bed at night and assault myself with the things that I could have done that I didn’t do, telling myself tomorrow would be different. But it never was.
I felt completely powerless.
Things began to change when I took my adult ADHD seriously. I got on a proper treatment plan. I started reading about my brain. I was shocked to learn that most of what I hated myself for were actually SYMPTOMS OF ADHD. Why hadn’t anyone told me this?
Then I found a life coach. She taught me about the importance of thoughts and feelings and showed me how to take charge of my life. The combination of real medical treatment for adult ADHD + life coaching woke me the F up.
5 years later, I’m a whole different human.
I enjoy my family and rarely yell at my kids. I am a successful life coach who consistently puts out content that helps thousands of adults with ADHD all over the world every day. I’m a high earner who no longer has to fret about paying bills. And I never lay in bed at night and worry that I didn’t get enough done.
I know I’m reaching my potential. And I’m passionate about helping YOU reach YOUR potential.
