Calm support for your ADHD life, whenever you need it
Discovering ADHD later in life can bring relief, grief and more questions than it answers.
Finally, decades of overthinking, striving, masking and self-doubt have an explanation. But you can still be left wondering how to make sense of who you are after years of trying so hard to fit in, feeling like you're too much and not enough.
And on top of this, being a more introverted, sensitive person can bring its own challenges. You may need more time and space to process things, find too much interaction draining, or simply not recognise yourself in the louder, more outwardly chaotic picture of ADHD you so often see.
I created the Quiet ADHD Club for women like you, because I am also a quiet, ADHD woman.
The Club is somewhere you can turn when you want to understand what’s happening in your brain, find practical support for what you’re struggling with, or discover a different way through something that feels difficult or overwhelming.
It’s full of all the resources I wish I’d had when I started my own quiet ADHD journey.
What is The Quiet ADHD Club?
The heart of the club is a growing library of explorations, practical tools and resources around procrastination, overthinking, RSD, confidence, self-compassion, nervous system regulation and much more.
But this isn’t a course or programme to work through, there’s no getting behind.
Instead, you dip in when you need it.
Perhaps today you’re struggling to start something. Another time you might be caught in overthinking, struggling with rejection or feeling overwhelmed.
Come to the Club, find the support that feels useful now, and then come back another day when you need something different.
And when you want company too, there are optional body doubling sessions, accountability check-ins, Q&As and other opportunities to connect with fellow quiet ADHD women.
You might recognise yourself here…
You’ve spent your life trying to be who you think you’re supposed to be, containing and criticising yourself, striving to do more, to be more, to keep up while still feeling like you’re behind.
You’re frustrated by the overthinking, procrastinating, perfectionism and difficulty focusing and finishing things, and can't shake the feeling that somehow you’re getting life wrong.
You've worked hard to make people happy, and never let anyone down even though it can leave you exhausted, resentful and then guilty for feeling resentful.
And while you’re curious and interested in so many things, perhaps you've felt shame about changing hobbies, ideas, even careers you were once incredibly excited about.
The effort of holding it all together, trying not to disappoint anyone or mess up while wondering how everyone else seems to manage, can take an enormous toll.
You might have a diagnosis, be waiting for an assessment or simply suspect that ADHD and perhaps other neurodivergences could explain some of your experiences.
You don't need a diagnosis to be here.
What you’ll find inside the Club
The library explores the ADHD features and challenges that can affect your everyday life, with new resources added every month.
You’ll find deep dives into:
Procrastination and getting started (and finishing)
Focus and getting distracted
Overthinking
Rejection sensitivity
Self-confidence
Perfectionism
Nervous system regulation
Self-compassion
There are practical strategies and tools to help you work with your brain rather than against it, as well as conversations with guest experts on subjects including hormones, sleep, relationships, finances and decluttering.
And because one format doesn’t work for everyone, there’s content you can read, listen to or watch – your choice.
This month in the Club
Each month we explore an ADHD challenge or an aspect of ADHD life and add new support around it to the Club library.
In October we’re tackling procrastination with Make a Start – a five-day challenge for when you know what you want to do but can’t seem to begin.
Join in with the current focus if it’s useful to you, or come back to it later. Everything stays in the Club, ready for when you need it.
And as new resources are added, the library becomes an ever-richer source of support to draw on and you’ll be kept up to date when something new is added.
And when you want more than a resource
Sometimes you want something to read, watch or listen to in your own time.
Sometimes you want other people alongside you.
There are weekly accountability and body-doubling sessions, as well as Q&As and community calls with women who understand what it’s like to move through the world with an ADHD brain and a quieter, more sensitive nature.
But all of this is optional.
You can be a quiet member of the Quiet ADHD Club. Many members are.
There’s no expectation to attend live sessions, comment on posts or become an active member of the community. Use the Club in whatever way works for you.
What members say
The Club has been a big support to me since I self-diagnosed as ADHD at the age of 60. The site's wide-ranging materials are informative and enlightening but above all it's the online meetings with others in the same situations that are particularly supportive. The body-doubling sessions enable me to get tasks done which I have been putting off and the community calls are enjoyable with no pressure. The Club has enabled me to feel more accepting of and less anxious about the way my brain works.
The Quiet ADHD Club is the first ADHD-specific space I've been in. It's been a source of comfort and support as I've come to terms with my neurodiversity. And it's been hugely informative, helping me get to grips with managing various aspects of my neurodiversity in the neurotypical world. I feel more seen, more accepted and more understood since joining the Quiet ADHD Club and that's been a balm for me.
I get a great deal out of the Club weekly. Gabrielle's writing is accessible and deep at the same time and makes me feel seen and understood (something women with ADHD often do not feel). Meeting friendly, lovely people has been a joy and I feel part of a gentle, supportive community. Gabrielle is a warm, inspiring and well-informed facilitator and coach. She draws the good out of each of us in the community to our flourishing.
I can report the tax return is complete, as is all of my pile of scanning. It feels good. I have noticed so much rewiring happening in my brain since discovering the Quiet ADHD Club.
The Quiet ADHD Club is brilliant! Gabrielle's suggestions on quietening the overthinking brain helped me sleep last night after a wretched night of overthinking.
What could being a part of the Quiet ADHD Club change for you?
Being a part of the Quiet ADHD Club can help you:
understand your brain and how ADHD affects the way you think, feel and behave
work with your brain and nature rather than constantly fighting against them
find practical ways to handle procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking, distraction and rejection sensitivity
develop greater understanding and acceptance and compassion for yourself
feel more confident speaking up for what you need
feel seen, validated and welcomed as your true self
Hi, I'm Gabrielle
I’m an ICF accredited coach, writer, podcaster, and author in the UK, and at the age of 48 I was diagnosed with ADHD.
Long before this discovery I was supporting women with many of the challenges associated with ADHD including people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, overthinking, and overwhelm.
I’m quiet (too quiet I’ve been told), introverted, sensitive (apparently too sensitive as well) and highly empathetic.
Before discovering I had ADHD I had a career in children’s publishing, built and sold a profitable stationery business, trained and worked as a coach and educator, had my first book, The 1% Wellness Experiment, published, and achieved an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology.
I've also studied mindfulness with Bangor University's Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, and I'm a certified Anchored trauma-informed coach.
The Quiet ADHD Club brings together my professional experience with my own lived experience of being a quiet, introverted, sensitive woman discovering ADHD in midlife.
It’s the kind of space I wanted to find.
A gentle invitation
If you’ve recognised yourself in these words, maybe you’ve found what you’ve been looking for.
Not another programme to complete or another thing to keep up with, but somewhere you can turn when you need support, whether that’s help understanding what’s happening, a practical resource for something you’re struggling with, or the reassurance of knowing you’re not the only one.
The library is there to dip into when you need it and continues to grow with new resources and support. And when you want connection or company, that’s there too.
I’d love to welcome you into The Quiet ADHD Club.
