Why I Built Tribe Together

I was drowning. I bet you are too.

I'm Shannon — a single mum to two incredible kids. My son has ADHD. My daughter is learning what it means to have a sibling who takes up a lot of space. And I'm somewhere in the middle, trying to hold it all together while figuring out who I even am outside of "mum."

My son gets bullied. He struggles to keep friends. Other kids have worked out that he's impulsive — that if they poke him just right, he'll react in a big way. And then he's the one in trouble. Because no one sees what happened before. No one sees the trigger. They only see his response.

"Watching his self-confidence shrink was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced as a parent. And I was learning to regulate my own emotions right alongside him."

I started researching everything. ADHD strategies, school advocacy, emotional regulation, dopamine, trauma-informed parenting, self-care, identity loss... I went down rabbit hole after rabbit hole trying to find answers. And what I found was: there was no single place for parents like me.

So I built it.

Tribe Together exists because everyone needs a village to raise children. For motivation, inspiration, perspective shifts, parenting advice, and — crucially — somewhere to talk about your own needs without guilt. Because you cannot pour from an empty cup, and this parenting gig is relentless.

"My mission is to help you harness the superpower inside your ADHD child and turn it into something extraordinary — while making sure you don't disappear in the process."

Knowledge is power. Kids are the future. And the ADHD brain, when understood and supported, can do things the neurotypical world can only dream of. I truly believe that. I see it in my son every day.

Welcome to the tribe. We've been waiting for you. 💚
