Emerging From January, Building Dopamine (and Re-thinking Work, Love & AI)

🌥️ January, ADHD & Dopamine (aka: hibernation mode)

Pretty happy January blues are over.

I think with having ADHD, being super sensitive to changes in environment can have a huge impact on dopamine. Grey skies = low energy, low motivation, high hibernation instinct. For me that looked like staying at home with the heater on, a lot of knitting (hello self-regulation 🧶), and genuinely weighing up the cost–benefit analysis every time I thought about leaving my flat.

Now that the days are slowly getting lighter, I can feel my energy coming back. I'm starting to feel like its ok to leave the flat and go outside as the days get warmer, there is more sunlight it doesn't feel such a huge cost-benefit analysis for me to get outside. Hope you all feel the same too. 

🧠 ADHD, Dating, Dopamine & Learning Together

I’m kicking off an 8-week masterclass and group coaching series, starting with ADHD & Dopamine, every Wednesday at 7pm.

The idea is simple: I’m opening up a consistent space and time to share my expertise, and to make it inclusive, affordable, and human. A dedicated hour to learn, reflect, and share experiences with others who get it. No pressure, no perfection.If you want to join, you’re very welcome (I've got 8 weeks of topics including ADHD and dopamine, emotional regulation etc) 👉 https://luma.com/calendar/cal-d2xpHo56hN4R8iF

With Valentine’s coming up 💌, my blog post on ADHD, dating & limerence unexpectedly got a lot of views, so I’m guessing people are interested in this topic. It's very relevant to me since it's been nearly three years since I've been single! I've also worked as a dating coach, trained with Logan Ury (the dating coach who wrote the book "How not to die alone"), and I'm eager to share everything I know about dating with ADHD... 

Because of that, I’m also running a one-off masterclass: ADHD & Dating: Dopamine, Rumination & Emotional Cycles  📅 11th February (a few days before Valentine’s, intentionally 😅). Join if you want to! 

🤖 AI, Work & Why Human Skills Matter More Than Ever

I’ve been thinking a lot about AI and the skills of tomorrow.

AI is evolving fast, and many white-collar jobs will change (or disappear). I used to work in management consulting and finance, and I can clearly see how AI already makes those roles easier. Slide creation, report drafting, analysing annual reports, pulling patterns from earnings calls… AI can do this very quickly now.

What I’m starting to realise is that being employable in this world might mean one of a few things:

• being highly specialised in work AI can’t really touch (think plumbers, therapists, hands-on roles)

• being in a company that’s currently protecting you from AI disruption or leaning hard into human skills

• Empathy. Coaching. Collaboration. Adaptability. Upskilling. Being able to work well with others and sit with complexity.

Not totally sure what this means for me yet as a neurodivergent founder girlie or 🤷♀️ — but I do know I’m a good coach and trainer, and people still want human services. So I’m trusting that for now and seeing where it leads. I’ll keep you updated.

📚 CPD Courses (finally… very on-brand ADHD)

In true ADHD fashion, after sitting on this for six months, I’ve finally designed CPD-certified courses (they’re currently with CPD getting certified).

Sent my first course to be certified by CPD: Coaching neurodivergent individuals: Building confidence and competence 

This self-paced online learning is designed for coaches, mentors, therapists, or anyone who wants to better understand and support neurodivergent people.

This course is currently going through CPD certification, and I’ve added a limited-time 30% discount for my community: ✨ Discount code: discount2026

If there are other courses you’d love me to build (manager training, allyship, dating, etc.), tell me now. I’m doing course sprints before I officially need to get a job to get a mortgage 😅🏡

🧠 Free ADHD Tools (because why not)

I’ve also been having fun creating some free digital tools. Think dopamine menus and spoon theory — but interactive, not worksheets (Build your own interactive dopamine menu!) 

They’re free to use and explore, and I’d genuinely love your feedback as I keep building and experimenting with them.

More soon ✨

If you found this useful please do share :) 

If you want to engage me as a coach, run a workshop, please feel free to book a time with me to discuss! (I do need help paying my rent in London thanks!)

Wishing all your dopamine levels are high, Kim
