Sarah Hershey, M.Ed.
ADHD & Executive Function Coach , Wired to Thrive
I know what it’s like to spend years wondering why everyday life can feel harder than it seems for everyone else.
I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until my early 40s. For much of my life, I saw struggles with focus, follow-through, and everyday demands as personal failings. Understanding my neurobiology gave me a new story—one with more self-compassion and less self-blame. Working with an ADHD coach helped me turn that insight into practical change.
Today, I’m an ADHD and Executive Function Coach and Certified ADHD Educator. I support adults, youth, and families navigating ADHD in building self-awareness, resilience, and more ease in daily life. I also train and mentor educators and school leaders, helping them better understand ADHD so they can support students effectively.
What sets me apart is my training at ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), one of only two programs worldwide accredited by both the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC).
My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in neuroscience. I also incorporate parts work and trauma-informed somatic approaches into my coaching practice.
I am passionate about helping clients notice patterns, experiment with new approaches, discover what works for them, and find more vitality and joy in daily life.
Everyone is wired to thrive!
