About Chris Conolly:
Chris Connolly is an ADDCA certified ADHD coach who has been teaching in the queer community as a community health educator for over 20 years. Chris and her wife welcomed their first baby a little over a year ago. The process of trying to conceive, being pregnant and having the baby was life changing in both beautiful and stressful ways. Chris was so grateful that she had the training, and understanding of ADHD to work with her brain. Having a toolbox of strategies through this process helped ease some of the challenges. Trying to conceive and having a new baby has a lot of unknowns that can feel overwhelming in the best of circumstances. Chris is excited to provide tools and ideas to create a plan to help you feel more grounded through this transition.
