Why I started DayDream & Do
Why I Started Daydream and Do
I’ve always been a daydreamer. The kind of person who sees potential everywhere—especially in people. But dreaming doesn’t always come with a roadmap. And for a long time, I struggled to figure out how to turn my ideas, my heart, and my very full brain into something that felt helpful and real.
I spent years working in education—earning my master’s in special education with a focus on autism, diving deep into what helps kids learn, and more importantly, what gets in their way. I loved connecting one-on-one, problem-solving, and seeing the spark when a student realized they could do something they didn’t think they could.
But I also saw how often kids (and parents, and teachers) were being asked to mold themselves into systems that didn’t fit. There wasn’t enough room for difference, or slowness, or softness. Everything was urgent, standardized, and pressure-filled—and the people who needed the most support were often met with shame instead.
That didn’t sit right with me.
I didn’t want to spend my energy trying to force people into boxes. I wanted to build something that met people where they were.
Something that said:
You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You don’t have to go it alone.
So I started Daydream and Do—a space for executive function and academic coaching that’s practical, compassionate, and neurodivergent-affirming. It’s built on the belief that every brain works differently, and that support should feel less like pressure and more like a breath of fresh air.
Here, daydreaming is welcome. And so is doing—but only when it feels doable.
This isn’t about fixing people. It’s about helping them find what actually works for them—and creating systems, habits, and rhythms that support that.
Whether you're a parent trying to help your kid stay afloat, a teen feeling overwhelmed by school, or an adult who’s never really been given the tools that make life feel manageable—you're welcome here.
Let’s figure it out together.
