What's Really Making Your Business Feel So Hard?
Running an online business is hard enough. But when you're constantly fighting invisible barriers—tasks you can't start, time that disappears, decisions that paralyze you—it feels impossible.
Here's the truth: The strategies that work for neurotypical business owners often create MORE problems for neurodivergent brains.

What the EF is Executive Functioning?
If you've heard the term executive functions or executive functioning being tossed around, and you don't really know what people are talking about, you might be in the right place. Think of executive functions as the life skills you need for day-to-day living: planning, time management, prioritizing, self-regulation… you get the picture. The thing is, these things aren't usually explicitly taught to people, and if they are, they're taught in a way that works for most neurotypical people. If you're neurodivergent (ADHD, anxiety, autism, mental health issues, etc.), you probably struggle with executive functioning. I'm here to help. Don't know where to start?

Where the fuck should you start?
If you are a newly diagnosed person, especially as an adult, you probably feel a mix of relief (no, you weren't imagining your struggles) and overwhelm (what the hell do you do now?). I cover a lot of different topics that relate to executive functioning. If you're looking for something specific, you can check out my categories below.
Need some info about changing your mindset? Most people should start here. You need to believe change is possible for you before you can make it happen.
But if you need info about self-care as you manage the changes in your life, check out my wellness posts.
And finally, if you KNOW you're ready and you're pretty sure what you need to work on, then you might want to read my systems posts.

Who the EF am I?
You're probably wondering who the fuck I am and what makes me qualified to help you build your business.
My name is Shannyn Schroeder. I am the owner of EF Bomb Coach. Prior to starting my company, I was an executive function coach for over 9 years and prior to that, I raised 3 neurodivergent kids.
I also have a BA in English, MA in Special Education, and MA in Gifted Education.
I helped build my ex's construction company for over 30 years and my own author career (I'm the author of over 25 romance novels).
So I understand what it takes to build and run a business and I understand how neurodivergent brains struggle.
You may be wondering if I'm ADHD. To that, I shrug.
Maybe?
I am of an age and from a generation where girls weren't diagnosed. And at this point in my life, I don't think having the official diagnosis would make a difference.
But often, one of my kids will look at me and point and say, “Gee, I wonder where I got that from.”
I don't judge based on whether your diagnosis is “official.” If you relate to these struggles, you belong.
Getting a diagnosis may help you feel better about things in your life, but it's by no means the end of the problem. You're just starting a new journey. I'd love to help you find the best path for you, so that your life works the way you need it to (not the way other people say it should).
