About Quinn Geear

I’m currently training with the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) and on track to certify by January 2026, with plans to pursue both ICF and PAAC certifications. My passion is helping people understand their own brain wiring and discover ways to work with it, not against it.

My Path Into Coaching

I’ve been in tech for more than two decades, watching brilliant and creative people navigate systems that don’t always match the way their minds work. When I received my ADHD diagnosis, something clicked… it gave me a deeper understanding of the patterns I’d been seeing all along. That mix of insight and curiosity is what pulled me toward coaching.

My ADHD Story

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s, right as perimenopause started turning up the volume on everything. Suddenly, the strategies that used to keep me afloat stopped working. My symptoms intensified, my focus slipped, and my nights were filled with racing thoughts. The diagnosis didn’t “fix” anything, but it gave me language for the chaos… compassion for the parts of me that were trying to cope… and a clearer way to work with my brain instead of against it.

How My Brain Works

I’m diagnosed with combination-type ADHD, which means my mind moves fast and wide. I can hyperfocus for hours, lose track of time, forget why I walked into a room, or bounce between ideas like a pinball machine. Learning to embrace that rhythm has been one of the most freeing parts of my journey.

What I Bring to Coaching

Outside of coaching, I’m a collage artist. My creative practice has taught me a lot about flow, self-compassion, and the beauty of working intuitively. It’s where I rediscover balance and remind myself that structure and creativity can coexist. I bring that same energy into coaching through warmth, practicality, humor, and a deep belief that your brain isn’t broken. It’s simply wired differently… and there’s incredible power in understanding how to work with it.

My Philosophy

I coach from lived experience, grounded training, and a belief that you don’t have to change who you are to thrive… you just need strategies that honor who you already are.
