Helps Keep me Focused & Accountable
This is a great community for ADHD Founders. I love the 'Eat That Frog' Sessions where I can show up to work with others, commit to getting something done, and celebrate actually doing the thing I wouldn't probably have done without this community. Bill and Rex are AMAZING! Highly recommended.

Where ADHD Entrepreneurs Actually Build
I joined Focus Founders because I didn’t need more advice—I needed traction and a community that understands how ADHD actually shows up for those of us trying to launch our own businesses. What I found was a group culture that’s generous, direct in a helpful way, and genuinely invested in boosting each other up. The tone is "online family," and the occasional (constructive) competition made it super-easy to show up consistently. I have made more progress toward escaping my 9-5 in the three months since I joined than I did in the previous fifteen years of struggling alone. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur who wants support that turns into action and a room that feels like real humans supporting one another, then Focus Founders is worth a look.

Deeply soothing and restorative!
Deeply soothing and restorative! Lydia is truly talented. The daily calm and the Deep Sleep Club are gifts that keep giving, spreading love and joy within and all around.

I found that Lydia really cares about the members.
She has a gift for bringing people back to peace through her music and guided meditations.

Increasing Calm in Less than 5 Minutes A Day
What can I say about Lydia's community? The Joyful Path | Jedi Calm has brought me such light, peace, and JOY during a season of darkness in the world. I am so glad to have connected with Lydia and the people in this space. After joining her weekly Peace Talks sessions, I've felt such renewed energy on account of the conversation, reflection, and prompts shared in this space. If you're looking for a place to move through life's challenges into a place of peace, calm, and hope, join the community and experience the grace and gratitude that comes from The Joyful Path | Jedi Calm. I am immensely glad I did! - LM
