MY BIO
Happiness and Joy Aren’t Outside Jobs
You—and only you—can fill in the pieces that create the life your soul was meant to live.
I’m Terri Donohue, your Neurospicy Inclusion Coach. I specialize in ADHD/AuDHD coaching, neurodivergent leadership, and helping you build the life you actually want—not the one you think you “should” have.
If you’re neurodivergent, stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or ready to lead with your whole authentic self, you’re in the right place.
ICF PCC-Certified Coach | Neurodiversity Specialist | DEIA Expert
As your Neurospicy Inclusion Coach, I am focused on enabling self-actualization.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
When we partner, my focus is on enabling your self-actualization. Here’s what that looks like:
Build on Your Strengths
We identify what makes your brain brilliant and speak your truth without apology.
Build on Identity
Learn frameworks that support you to understand yourself.
Eliminate Personal Roadblocks
Get unstuck from the patterns, beliefs, and systems keeping you small.
Uncover Generational Patterns
Dismantle the inherited beliefs that no longer serve you.
Apply Self-Compassion
Challenge the social structures that keep shame alive while building genuine self-trust.
WHY THIS MATTERS
You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be understood.
Unfortunately, traditional coaching wasn’t built for neurodivergent brains. It assumes everyone processes, plans, and performs the same way. But your ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or other neurodivergence isn’t a deficit—it’s a different operating system.
My neuro-inclusive approach meets you where you are. We work with your brain, not against it.
The result? You stop trying to fit into systems that weren’t designed for you. You start creating the life, career, and leadership style that actually works for YOUR brain.
ABOUT TERRI
I’ve been where you are.
After 23 years in the entertainment industry (including an Emmy nomination as a makeup artist), I hit rock bottom and burned out completely. That’s when I took what I call the “pill of clarity” and pivoted toward social change.
My journey wasn’t about fixing myself. It was about unlearning the shame and rebuilding with self-compassion.
Now, as an ICF PCC-certified ADHD and neurodivergent coach, I bring my lived experience as someone who is ADHD and dyslexic to every session. I understand the rejection sensitivity, the executive function struggles, the brilliant chaos of a neurodivergent mind.
I’m also a certified Anti-Racism and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion professional (UBC Certificate of Achievement). My work is grounded in intersectionality—because your neurodivergence doesn’t exist in isolation from your other identities.
Beyond one-on-one coaching, I’m the founder and host of the Inclusive Leadership Coaching podcast, where I explore neuroinclusion, anti-oppression, and what it really means to lead inclusively.
I work as a mentor coach supervisor, helping other coaches develop neuroinclusive practices. I’m also a keynote speaker and facilitator on neurodiversity, equity, and organizational culture transformation.
