Care about a child in your life?

Curious, what’s your biggest worry about their social life right now?

What’s happening with the kids we care about often carries into how we show up in our work and daily life.

I know it does for me. Does it for you, too?

When they’re struggling, it’s hard for me to show up and take action fully.

I’m asking so we can better understand these challenges…
And find the right support and resources together. 💞

Poll:
1. They struggle to make friends
2. They get left out or overlooked
3. They don't know what to say in social situations
4. They freeze, overtalk, or misread situations
5. Other (comment below)

Working on an exciting project that will help so many parents of kids ages 8-13 help their child make real friends and feel confident in social situations.

Anyone excited?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while… and finally put it into words.

We’re living through a quiet shift in what it means to be “intelligent.”

For so long, we were taught that intelligence = IQ
How fast we think.
How much we know.
How well we solve problems.

But now…

AI can do all of that—faster than we can.

So the question becomes:

👉 What actually makes us valuable now?

What I’m seeing (and living) is this:

It’s not about knowing more anymore.
It’s about understanding people better.

Because—

AI can tell you what to say.
But it can’t tell you how it will land.

It can’t read the room.
It can’t feel the tension.
It can’t tell when someone is shutting down… or needs you to step in.

That’s emotional intelligence (EQ).
That’s social intelligence (SQ).
And I believe that’s where human value is shifting next.

This is the conversation I’m exploring in my latest blog:

👉 https://www.adhdlifesimplified.com/blog/iq-eq-sq-ai-intelligence-shift

I’d love to hear your thoughts—

Do you think understanding people will matter more than knowledge in the AI era?

As AI expands IQ, emotional intelligence (EQ) and social intelligence (SQ) are becoming the most valuable human skills. Learn why understanding people—not just processing information—is the real advantage in the AI era.

I’ve been there.

I built my life around billable hours for 12 years…

Slowly realizing it was costing me my health, my sanity, and precious time with my family.

At first, I couldn’t see a way out of hustle culture…even with a law degree. 😢

Then, I found a way to step off that treadmill and build something different.

Not perfect. Not instant. But aligned.

With purpose, passion, and profit.

If you’re curious what I used…

It’s this platform called Skool. I still use it today to support 480+ members worldwide inside my community, Thriving ADHD Mompreneurs.

You can try it free for 14 days here (then it’s only $9/month):

No pressure. Just an option. I’m cheering for you!

💔 A family lost everything to scammers using my name.

I want to share something important with you. Recently, I found out that scammers stole my name (Katherine Villareal Lizardo) and law license number and used them in an immigration scam. They even created fake court papers to trick a family into paying thousands of dollars.

To be clear: I am not an immigration lawyer. I am a personal injury lawyer with my own firm, Lizardo Law, P.C. While I am licensed to practice law in both California and Texas, my firm is in Texas.

I’m grateful for my reputation in the legal community, so I don’t worry about colleagues questioning me. But this family’s story breaks my heart. They lost money while trying to help their loved one in ICE custody. They even sold their car to pay the scammers — and sadly, they cannot get that money back. The father of this family is still detained. 💔

The only reason I found out was because a good Samaritan immigration lawyer spotted the fake papers, saw my name, and contacted me. I’ve since reported the scam to the police, my State Bars, and other agencies.

Afterwards, I learned that this is far more common than I realized — lawyers’ names and license numbers are regularly stolen by scammers, especially in immigration cases. I believe I was targeted because of my Spanish last name (I immigrated from the Philippines). As an immigrant myself, this issue is close to my heart, which is why I feel so deeply for these families.

🙏 I share this not to spread fear, but to spread awareness and compassion. Because of one ethical, alert immigration lawyer, this scam was caught. That means each of us has the power to spread awareness, protect others, and shine a light on the truth.

👉 If you ever hear my name being used in a way that doesn’t sound right, please let me know right away.

👉 If you ever feel like you are being scammed by someone claiming to be a lawyer, please reach out to me anytime. There are resources out there to help — for example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has guidance at: https://consumer.ftc.gov/scams.

More importantly, please stay alert to how scammers prey on vulnerable people — because sometimes a kind word, a warning, or a second opinion could save a family from losing everything.

Thank you for looking out for me and others.

I appreciate you 🙏,
Katherine

P.S. Please feel free to share this post with anyone who might benefit from knowing about this type of scam — especially in immigrant families and communities.

When I think back to my first year of law school, I can still feel the exhaustion:

Hours lost in reading cases.
Cold calls that made my heart race.
And with ADHD, every day felt like a battle to survive.

That struggle planted a seed.
Because what I really needed wasn’t more late nights or more willpower…
It was systems.

Simplified systems that calmed my ADHD brain, gave me confidence, and helped me actually learn instead of drown.

So, I built those systems for myself.

Then, for the law students and lawyers I mentored.

And now, I’ve turned my strategies and systems into something bigger than me.

✨Law Skool™ — a supportive community to help law students thrive with systems, accountability, and mentorship.

I just launched this online community designed to complement what students already receive in law school.

It's for:
👉 The 1L who is buried in casebooks and feels they’ll never catch up.
👉 The ADHD student who knows they’re smart, but can’t stop the chaos from sn*******ng.
👉 The perfectionist who spends hours outlining, yet still feels unprepared.
👉 The stressed-out student who dreads cold calls and loses confidence each time they stumble.
👉 The future lawyer who wants more than grades — they want clarity and confidence they can carry into practice.

This isn’t just about law school, though.

It’s part of my Vision: 🌎Reframing the global conversation toward compassion — starting with mental health and ADHD, and now extending into the law.

Here’s what’s inside Law Skool:
✅ Core Tools → cut reading time in half & walk into class cold-call ready
✅ Live Labs + Replays → real answers when questions hit hardest
✅ AI Skills → faster, deeper learning for exams & real-world lawyering
✅ Community → collaborative, not competitive
✅ Mentorship + Accountability → built from my 20 years as a lawyer, TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and thriving ADHD mom of 2 amazing boys

Right now, the first 25 Founding Members join for $99/month (then rate increases).

👉 Join now: https://www.skool.com/lawskool/about

Law school doesn’t get easier on its own.

But with the right tools, every small win builds into confidence, clarity, and calm.

I appreciate you 🙏,
Katherine

P.S. You may not be in law school, but you may know someone who is. Would you forward this to them? Your one small share could change their entire law school experience. 🌟

There’s a quiet danger in the ADHD space no one talks about…

As someone who’s now thriving after decades of struggle, I think it’s time we do.

Here's what I've seen, and why it matters.

Gentle caution is needed…

👉 When people without ADHD start using medical-sounding terms—like executive function, dopamine hacks, or ADHD-friendly routines—to sell to ADHDers.

These terms are not trendy buzzwords for us.
They’re our reality.

We hear these terms in therapy…
In doctors’ offices…
And in the quiet battles we fight to manage our lives.

So, when a shiny ad shows up promising “neurodiverse-friendly” solutions?
We pause.
We hope.
We try.

Because many of us live with decision fatigue, time scarcity, and emotional burnout.

Because maybe—this time—it will help.

But here’s the problem:
Many of these marketers don’t understand ADHD at all.
They just know enough to sell to our pain points.

And when it doesn’t work?
We don’t blame the product.
We blame ourselves.
Again.
That’s the most painful part.

👉 But please hear this:
You are NOT the failure.
The product is.
The people who marketed it are.

The real cost isn’t just the money (though that adds up too—what I call “ADHD debt”).

👉 It costs us something much more precious: Hope.

Hope that we are finally rebuilding.
And every time we try something not truly built for us…
That cost compounds.
Quietly. Powerfully. Exponentially.

👉 This is the hidden cost that you must guard against.

You might be wondering:
“How do I know if something labeled ‘ADHD-friendly’ is actually trustworthy?”

Here’s what I ask myself:
- Was it created by someone with ADHD—or with ADHD professionals?
- Do they truly understand how ADHD shows up in real life—or are they just using the right language?
- Do they embody the 3Cs—care, curiosity, and compassion—or are they just marketing the vibe?

You don’t owe anyone your energy just because they speak our language…

Especially not if it costs you your self-belief.

And when you read testimonials, add an extra layer of caution and ask:
- Are these from people who finished the program—or dropped out quietly from shame?
- Were they written after real results—or in the early ADHD high of starting something new?

Because for ADHDers in emotional pain, testimonials can trigger urgency that overrides instinct.

That’s not your impulsiveness. That’s strategic marketing design.

👉 Not all social proof is proof.

✨ So to my fellow ADHD mompreneurs:
Please protect your Hope.
It’s sacred.

You’ve been let down by people who didn’t carry the weight of your story. And that can stop here.

🛑 To the marketers reading this:
If you truly care about our community…
Don’t just market to us.
Build with us. Learn from us.
Support us with care, curiosity, and compassion.

Marketing to people with ADHD isn’t a strategy.
It’s a responsibility.

If you’re not ready to honor that, please don’t market to us at all.

But if you are—and you’re not sure where to start—reach out.
I welcome your curiosity. I’m here for real conversations.

Let’s build a world where support isn’t manipulative, but meaningful.

I appreciate you 🙏,
Katherine Lizardo, Esq.
Thriving ADHD Mompreneur of 2 | Lawyer | TEDx Speaker

P.S. For those new to my space and want to know who I am:

I’m Katherine Lizardo.
I’m not on a journey to become a thriving ADHD mompreneur—I am one.
But my transformation took years, fears, and tears.

Diagnosed over two decades ago, I’ve lived with ADHD while:
- Raising two incredible boys (one with ADHD)
- Building two purpose-driven businesses
- Practicing law
- And investing in my deep personal growth with 1,000+ therapy sessions

I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to try everything, to wonder if life will ever feel manageable.

And I also know what it’s like to come out the other side…
Not just surviving—but thriving.

Now, I guide other ADHD mompreneurs toward the same inside my community…

Not from theory, but from lived experience and systems that work.

P.P.S. What if there’s a place where your ADHD story is understood and honored?

That’s why I created the Thriving ADHD Mompreneurs community…

A space where our brains, businesses, families, and deeper callings finally align.

Where ADHD moms like us discover a Thriving Mindset™ that honors our full identity…

As purpose-driven moms, entrepreneurs, and women with ADHD...

Navigating an evolving life that may not follow a straight path…

But always aligns with what matters most.

I’m living proof that YOU can be a thriving ADHD mom & entrepreneur.

Hi, I’m Katherine Lizardo. 👋 As a fellow ADHD Mompreneur, I’ve spent years testing what actually helps ADHD brains stay motivated, organized, and productive.

Plus, as I mentioned in my TEDx Talk, I’ve been in therapy once a week for over 2 decades!

That’s over 1,000 therapy sessions under my belt - That’s exponentially more than the training required to be a certified ADHD Coach!

Now, my global 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 is to help moms with ADHD simplify their own lives using doable systems that boost their productivity on good days—and lighten the mental and emotional load when brain fog hits.

That’s why I created Thriving ADHD Mompreneurs, a community for moms with ADHD who are building a business and want their own simple systems so they can finally show up, get the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 things done 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁, and breathe again.

Self-care is a journey, and I’m grateful to have found Gloria Herrera as my ally for stress relief! 🙏

As a lawyer and a mom with ADHD, stress can become a BIG part of my life.

👉 To ensure my stress is manageable, I include Gloria’s therapeutic massage sessions as part of my transformative experience.

I carry a lot of stress on my neck and shoulders.

Sometimes, my right shoulder feels like a rock!

I also discovered through a neck MRI a couple of months ago that I developed several concerning issues with my cervical spine. ☹️

Plus, a specific neck muscle…which I recently discovered is called levator scapulae…is causing me pain and involuntary muscle movements. 😖

It sounds like my body is a mess…but I am not. 😁

I’m listening to my body and doing what I can to alleviate my daily pain and discomfort.

🙌 Enter Gloria!

She’s part of my secret toolkit for stress relief! (not secret anymore with this post. 😂)

She helps me with therapeutic massages for my entire body, plus corrective massages focused on my neck and shoulder issues.

She has been a blessing to my well-being.

Gloria’s unique technique and peaceful ambiance at Spine Injury Clinics create a perfect environment for healing.

With the Clinic’s additional services—like chiropractic and acupuncture—you can explore natural ways to de-stress and heal.

As you know, if you’ve been following me for a while now…

Once I find someone whom I believe in…

I become their biggest cheerleader! 🥳

That’s why…

🌱 I highly recommend Gloria and Spine Injury Clinics for a personalized journey toward wellness.

Give Gloria a try; your body and mind will thank you!

You can thank me later. 😄

Your turn. How do you practice self-care?
