What are
Good Life Talks?
Good Life Talks are live, educational workshops designed to support emotional awareness, communication, and connection in everyday life. These conversations are grounded in real experiences, practical tools, and a non-judgmental approach to mental health and relationships.
Our talks are not therapy sessions, but they are informed by clinical knowledge, coaching practices, and lived experience. You are welcome to attend solo or with a partner. Sharing is always optional.
Past Talks
Good Life Talks are shaped by the voices of our community. Many of our workshops grow directly out of participant feedback and shared experiences.

About the Facilitators
We’re a therapist-and-coach couple who not only work with ADHD in relationships professionally, we live it personally. One of us has ADHD and one does not, so we understand what it means to love each other and learn each other at the same time.
Vanessa brings her work as a licensed therapist specializing in emotional and nervous-system regulation, while Tou Ger brings his coaching experience helping clients strengthen communication, confidence, and self-leadership.
Together, we share tools rooted in clinical training, coaching experience, and lived practice; strategies that support healthier communication and connection for couples navigating ADHD, including our own.
