The Heart of the Mission
Katherine Lizardo, Esq. is a thriving ADHD Mom, inspirational speaker, and seasoned lawyer.
In June 2023, Katherine founded her mission-driven company, ADHD Life Simplified.
The mission: to support Mothers with ADHD in embracing their neurodiversity - free from shame, stigma, and judgment - so they can navigate their neurodiversity in motherhood with compassion.
As a thriving ADHD Mom of two young boys (ages 13 and 5) - with his eldest diagnosed with ADHD at age 7 - her mission is personal. Katherine is passionate about helping Moms with ADHD, as well as their kids and families, to truly understand and embrace neurodiversity to break the cycle of shame, stigma, and judgment.
She uses technology, her blog, speaking platforms, social media, and her online community to spread culturally sensitive messages of healing and compassion.
By celebrating who we are beyond our ADHD labels, Katherine believes ADHD Moms, kids, and families can finally feel seen, safe, and supported.
It only takes one generation to break the generational cycle of shame and stigma; she intends to be that generation and guide future ADHD generations to do the same.
Katherine’s Diversity and Inclusivity
Born and raised in the Philippines with English as her second language, Katherine personally understands cultural barriers to mental health.
She immigrated to California when she was 16 and now thrives in Plano, Texas, with her loving boys and husband of 23 years.
As a woman from a humble background, she connects gender, race, and socio-economic perspectives with the stigma about ADHD.
First in her family to attend college and law school, she graduated in the top 10% of her class after only two years (instead of the typical three years in law school).
Katherine has been a lawyer for over 19 years and is licensed in multiple states - bringing expertise and credentials to her talks.
As a working mom with ADHD and a neurodiverse family, she faces the challenges of neurodiversity every day.
Her relatable stories guide ADHD moms from Generation X and Millennials to recognize how their misunderstood and undiagnosed childhood contributed to feelings of shame and stigma. With a mission to reframe the global discourse into mental health compassion, Katherine strives for a positive impact on the lives of ADHD generations.
The ADHD Simplifiers Community
After her diagnosis in the early 2000s, Katherine felt alone in her ADHD journey, apart from her doctors, therapists, and husband. She didn't know anyone else with ADHD for a long time because no one talked about it openly, fearing shaming and stigma.
Katherine deeply understands feeling isolated and not having anyone to share stories and experiences with—especially about medication, treatment, tools, and resources. As an extension of her mission-driven company, ADHD Life Simplified, she recently created the ADHD Simplifiers Community.
ADHD Simplifiers is an online community for ADHD Moms and families, as well as ADHD supporters. It's a safe space for members to be themselves without fear of being shamed or judged. It's a supportive environment to collaborate and cultivate with like-minded ADHDers who accept and understand what they are going through.
ADHD Simplifiers is the beginning of Katherine's vision, the future she intends to help create: a heart-centered, culturally sensitive, and safe world for ADHD Moms and their families to navigate and celebrate their neurodiversity free of shame, stigma, and judgment.
The Global Reach
Katherine may be known for her TED Talk at the TEDxMiltonHS Event about Embracing ADHD, which has received accolades globally from audiences and the media.
Katherine is reframing the global narrative into mental health compassion by building bridges among innovative leaders of all generations and diverse perspectives—a vision she shares as a Participant in Renaissance Weekend's invitation-only, off-the-record, non-partisan gathering of pioneering leaders and minds.
ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, New York Post, Texas Business Times, The Philippine Tribune, Asian Pacific Culture News, Law & Crime Network, Manila News Journal, and other International and local Texas media outlets have featured Katherine’s work.
As a regular legal analyst across media platforms, she speaks live to over 100,000 viewers worldwide every week, simplifying high-profile trials nationwide.
Her appearances, podcast interviews, and special commentaries on multiple media outlets and the Law & Crime Network’s YouTube channel reached over 5 million subscribers globally.
