From the personal and coaching experience of an ADHDer, actionable tools and techniques to understand your ADHD brain and unlock life's possibilities.

Do you often feel that your emotions are intense and difficult to regulate? Does boredom get to you seemingly more than most? Do you struggle with your perception of time?

You're not alone. As cultural and medical awareness around ADHD shifts, millions of adults who are diagnosed with ADHD are unclear on the many ways ADHD symptoms present and how it affects the experience of their everyday life.

Meredith Carder, an ADHD coach and ADHDer herself, shares real-life stories from her coaching practice and own lived experience along with actionable exercises and strategies to help you:

  • Harness the power of self-compassion and self-awareness to embrace your unique brain
  • Build your own toolkit of daily habits to prevent boredom and burnout
  • Rate your level of focus and plan your energy accordingly
  • Learn to appreciate your ADHD brain and empower yourself to live a life rich with interest

By learning more about the way your mind works, you too can rewrite your inner dialogue and fully realize the life you want to live.
“It All Makes Sense Now will be an invaluable resource for anyone who thinks differently. I wish I’d had this book when I was younger.”
— Chris Guillebeau, author of The Art of Non-Conformity and The Happiness of Pursuit

“From one ADHDer to another, It All Makes Sense Now is a game-changer. This book equips us with the tools to understand ourselves better and connect the dots that never made sense before. It’s about appreciating our ADHD brain and embracing the endless possibilities it brings. This book has the power to change lives and empower us to live a life full of richness and interest.”
— Dr. Lalitaa Suglani, award-winning psychologist and author of High-Functioning Anxiety

“Meredith brings to her debut book the same warmhearted vulnerability and expert knowledge that has made her an Instagram sensation. It All Makes Sense Now is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of ADHD. Meredith blends personal experience with invaluable tools and strategies to empower readers to reclaim their lives and thrive in a world not always designed for their unique brains.”
— Katy Weber, ADHD advocate, coach, and host of the Women & ADHD podcast

“It All Makes Sense Now is an empowering companion for anyone who’s felt misunderstood in their ADHD journey. Meredith’s stories are sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, and always relatable in a way that truly makes you feel seen. And she continues to point the reader toward hope with practical strategies that are accessible and effective. This book will change lives—it’s a must-read for anyone living with ADHD.”
— Jesse J. Anderson, author of Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD
“This is the book I wish I had when I was first diagnosed. Seamlessly weaving her own experiences into each topic, she provides analogies that resonate deeply with how our minds operate and gives incredible perspectives that most people miss completely. What truly sets this book apart is its modular nature: each chapter stands perfectly on its own, catering perfectly to our (my) needs to jump around.”
— Ron Capalbo, ADHD coach and advocate

“It All Makes Sense Now takes you on a journey through the ADHD mind with warmth and wisdom. Organized by challenges we face daily, this book is the compassionate guide that I wish had been in my hands years ago. Every page resonates with understanding and practical steps.”
— Christal Wang, co-founder and CEO of Shimmer
