Hi, I'm Diana,
your ADHD Optimizer coach.
As an ADHD physician myself, I know what it’s like to be at a breaking point. Not so long ago, I felt desperate because I was spending 20-30 uncompensated paid hours per week outside of work charting, struggling to get to appointments on time, overcome by negative thoughts about my abilities as a physician and a mother and taking my frustrations out on everyone else.Â
I no longer enjoyed the job I had studied so hard for. My relationship with my husband was strained. I spent most of my time shouting at my kids instead of having fun with them. I had no energy, time or hope. I needed things to get better but I didn’t know how that was possible.
At my lowest point, I was able to turn it all around. I broke through those thoughts that I wasn’t good enough and could never be good enough and starting putting my mental health first. I investing in coaching and education so I could finally understand my ADHD and how to work with it.
I was able to transform so much my husband called me Diana 2.0.
I know there are so many physicians like me out there shamed into struggling alone. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’m here to help. Coaching truly changed my life. There is nothing more powerful than being able to understand yourself and the strategies that will allow you to function at your highest level. You are unstoppable.
I didn’t think any of this was possible because of my ADHD and yet here I am.
I’m no different to you. Check out my story here.

Katherine Scantling
“Her process is very practical and easy to follow and implement. Her open, thoughtful and kind approach made it easier for me to share my challenges and work through my roadblocks. She taught me how to self-coach myself which empowered me to make real changes in my life. I am beyond grateful to have found her and would recommend her for gaining clarity with your struggles, getting your life back on track and enjoying your life.”

“I'm so happy I met Dr. Mercado when I did. I went into these group sessions feeling like a total mess and had no idea how I would survive medical school. I don't handle transitions well, but this course helped me establish a regular schedule that I could stick to. I liked the networking and support of other medical students, residents and physicians.”
