Marie came in to my life about a month ago! I had been in talk therapy for years, and while I greatly appreciate the progress I had made, it felt as though I was stuck at a plateau. I thought to myself, a life coach might be a better direction to head in. Lo and behold, and as good luck would have it, I met Marie organically while attending an outdoor event at Kleiner Park. Talk about synchronicity! In just 4 weeks time, my life has made a full pivot re-route into what feels like the right direction. Without feeling pressured and pushed, Marie has helped guide me in to realizations of a few areas in my life in which I was hitting road blocks without full awareness. She has helped me feel appreciated, understood and seen. All while we have a great time, laughing and getting to know one another. She helps make coaching feel like friendship, while still helping guide me in a positive direction to reach my goals. I feel so fortunate to have met her, so glad I took the leap of faith and hired her, and beyond reassured by her presence in my life. I am so grateful I took the opportunity presented to me when she expressed her passion for all things and people neurodivergent related. My audhd has never felt so cared for and validated. Thank you Marie, for being exactly who you are!

I had the privilege of working with Marie for a Virtual Body Doubling session and also an ADHD and confidence coaching session. These were both amazing experiences. The virtual body doubling I felt I had a clear goal of what I wanted to accomplish and having her there on the video to help my set up my objective and then the accountability presence really supported my productivity and focus. Then at the end we reviewed what I finished and I felted awesome about my current task load then! I got done more then what my goal was plus more! I want to sign up for more body doubling sessions and tell others to try i out. It is a newer service but VERY helpful! Now the ADHD confidence coaching session was even better than my great body doubling experience. After just one session I felt significant improvement in the overall feel of my confidence and how I looked at my ADHD traits. Also, I have a much better idea of how to approach my focus and attention difficulties and see them as opportunities rather than deficits now. This really changed my outlook of myself and my brain! She works with mostly adults online through video in Idaho and all through the United States for ADHD or AuDHD coaching.

Marie D. (MD) is an amazing ADHD, AuDHD, and Mild Autism Life Coach. Her coaching is practical, structured, personalized, and action-oriented. She helps you understand how your brain works, identify what’s keeping you stuck, and create strategies that work for you. Marie uses a variety of coaching modalities and tools, including executive-function mapping, visual coaching and whiteboarding, task breakdown, activation strategies, prioritization, time estimation, accountability, body doubling, goal setting, and future-self visualization. She helps with executive functioning, time management, organization, task initiation, procrastination, routines, follow-through, confidence, boundaries, and communication. She also offers virtual body doubling for getting started, staying focused, and completing tasks. She even has a flexible program, in addition to her individual session, month or three months (+). She wants to work with you!

I met Marie during a season of major change in my life, and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. Investing in her *Living with Confidence* coaching was one of the best decisions I could have made, it truly helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. Marie has a gift for genuinely listening and taking the time to understand who you are. Rather than offering generic advice, she tailors her guidance and resources to fit your unique needs and goals. She checks in consistently and has a way of making you feel supported, encouraged, and never alone. It feels less like being coached and more like having a trusted friend who believes in you and gently helps you move forward. Her kindness, authenticity, and encouragement made it easy to be open with her. She also has an incredible ability to reframe challenges, helping you see situations from a new perspective with greater clarity and confidence. I still use many of the tools and resources Marie shared with me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to friends and family. If you’re looking for someone who will truly invest in your growth and help you become more confident in yourself, Marie is an exceptional coach.

I really benefited from my coaching, guiding, teaching and empowering experience with MD Living with Confidence Coaching. Marie not only truly sees who you are and where you are in your growth path plus potential futures of yours, but she knows what to ask, suggest, recommend and encourage. She is continuously growing personally and professionally, as well. She helped me with my Autism, ADHD, confidence and making myself view myself and my life in a much more positive and realistic light. I have transformed from Marie's guidance, her tools, resources and the other professionals she has suggested I also work with. Growth is a holistic and team activity, I believe. She helped me greatly to view my neurodivergence as a strength and really minimize the frustrations. My self worth and esteem are healthy now! I know how to organize my week and know my peak times to do different activities! You should book a discovery call with her and tell your loved ones!! She is a magician! She mostly works with clients around Boise, Idaho but she works with individuals anywhere in the USA.

I really really benefited from Marie's coaching. She also does speaking, facilitating and teaching. She is a complete powerhouse when it comes to up lifting, empowering and activating ADHD and Autistic adults into confidence, clarity, confidence, organization, structure. She will help you out of overwhelm or with executive dysfunction and into success! She is able to help the clients produce an identify swift and change on a very deep level, the longer you work with her. She uses what is called Rapid Interpersonal Modeling where she uses her pattern recognition, her high level emotional, empathetic and intaking data abilities because she is AuDHD, herself. She has been studying human behavior and humans for years. She is fantastic and very insightful and also uses state of the art tools, methods and resources to consistently grow herself personally and professionally! She serves adults in Idaho, the Pacific Northwest, the whole USA and the whole world, potentially.

Marie Donnelly is Neuro-Fabulous Badass! She is an amazing inspiration, a tireless cheerleader for the neurodivergent community, and a powerful advocate for helping people recognize their strengths. Marie has a unique ability to help people move beyond self-doubt and step into their potential with confidence. Her coaching style is equal parts compassion, accountability, and practical action, which means things actually get done. She doesn't just talk about change; she helps people create it. Supportive, encouraging, and results-driven, Marie empowers her clients to build confidence, trust themselves, and move forward with purpose.

Marie's Neurodivergent Group Coaching Class at Marigolds Boise last night was awesome-- comfortable, fun, and incredibly insightful. In just one class I was able to gain so many helpful tools and ideas to overcome the daily hurdles of living with ADHD, Autism, or other neurodivergent conditions. Marie has a beautiful soul and she does a fabulous job facilitating the class. I love the format, which is not lecture style, but rather conversational, open, and very well-balanced. Marie provides the perfect space for our strengths and "life hacks" to be shared and even commended (as we all need) as we all learn from, encourage, and help each other. This is a beautiful group for learning tools to make life easier, being able to be authentic, and most importantly, being seen, appreciated, and understood. ❤️ ❤️ I highly recommend this group to any adult wanting to excel with ADHD or neurodivergence!!!

Marie is awesome and like no other coach! She knows what kind of support you need. She coaches life, confidence and neurodivergence. She works with people who are neurodivergent and neurotypical. She herself has some Autism and a lot of ADHD, so she can help with procrastination, lack of motivation, focus issues and all kinds of similar issues. She is well versed in career finding, job changing, relantionship issues, empowerment, anxiety, depression, preventing burnout and managing overwhelm. If you need help with self worth or becoming or remembering your true self, she has a real gift. She will provide you with tools, resources, accountability, motivation and you know she cares and has your back. Her support is like no other. She will make you believe in coaching and yourself. You should give her a shot and see how far she can help you go!!! Wonderful and transformative!!!

I had a session with Marie this afternoon, and it was incredibly helpful. As a woman who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life at 20, I’ve struggled with procrastination, staying motivated, and creating habits that actually work for my brain. Marie created such a supportive, understanding space and helped me feel seen instead of judged. During our session, we explored the root of some of the struggles I’ve been experiencing and worked together to come up with practical ideas, systems, and strategies to help me function better and succeed with my ADHD. I left the call feeling motivated, hopeful, and like I finally have tools I can realistically use in my everyday life. If you’re neurodivergent and looking for someone who truly understands and can help you build healthy habits in a way that works for you, I highly recommend Marie!

I’m only into my third session with Marie and I am not exaggerating when I say my life is already changing. The way that she coaches, handles situations, her knowledge, and understanding neurodivergent speaks volumes in our coaching sessions. I have paid for a coaching sessions before and have not followed through with them and there’s something about showing up for the sessions with Marie where I find myself being on time and looking forward to them. I’m so excited for what my life’s going to look like here in the next couple of months, and the positive changes that are happening in my life to where I can finally live and not feel like I’m only here to survive. If anyone is looking for coaching, I highly recommend Marie. I did not know Marie before coaching and I have gained a true life long friend.

I’ve had the opportunity to connect with Marie Donnelly from MD Living with Confidence Coaching a couple of times, and I’ve really appreciated her perspective and approach. Marie specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, and she brings a thoughtful and empowering lens to every conversation. What I value most is how she helps you look at situations from new angles while building confidence in how you navigate them. She blends different coaching and therapeutic approaches in a way that feels supportive, insightful, and practical for real-life situations. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping people understand themselves better and move toward their personal goals with clarity and confidence.

Wow! Marie was a breath of fresh air for me. I participated in a Gathering of Lightworkers community event and my booth was across from hers. We had never met before and I was drawn to the beautiful bouquet of flowers she had at her table. She messaged me that evening that I had been selected in her give-away for an hour coaching session! During my session w her, she helped me process and work thru a situation I’d recently had and how to approach it differently if I could have a do-over. It was awesome!! She softly aided me to discover what I was holding onto and how to have the confidence in myself to address the situation clearly and from a “Birds Eye view” I highly recommend Marie!!

I recently had my first life coaching session and it was such a positive experience. As a single mom, I often put everyone else’s needs ahead of my own, and she created a supportive, judgment-free space where I could focus on myself and my goals. We talked about building meaningful friendships, prioritizing self-care, and creating a more balanced life. She asked thoughtful questions, listened deeply, and helped me see practical steps I can take moving forward. I left the session feeling encouraged, empowered, and more confident about investing in myself. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate coach who genuinely cares and helps you gain clarity and direction.

Marie is a one of a kind coach and all around amazing person. When you come into her orbit, you can't help but be changed by her zest for life, her passion to create a business from a place of commitment and service to others . You can be assured of her professionalism by verifying the many certifications she has pursued and completed. She holds herself accountable to excellence and so you can be confident that if you hire her for yourself or your child, that she will go above and beyond to serve you and help you raise to your potential! I highly recommend her as a coach...even a coach of life.

Marie is such a genuine and authentic refreshing breath of air. Not only is she very intuitive and genuine with her connections but she makes it know that her intention is to be there for you and support you. The best part is you can genuinely tell that helping others make sense of their life and being at peace with themselves to move on to the next step (whatever that may be) intentionally and thoroughly fills her cup. One of a kind person i wouldn’t be able to see my life without now that i have her in it! Don’t think about it just book her. You won’t regret it.

Marie is an excellent life coach. I’d never worked with a life coach before and was surprised how much I liked it. She takes a very personalized approach that allows you to feel more in control but also is knowledgeable enough to ask the hard questions. She came into my life in a time I felt alone and unsure what to do, and she guided me to learn skills I have tried to learn but was unable to without assistance. I would recommend Marie to anyone neurodivergent who feels lost, judged, or unsure how to proceed in life

Marie’s coaching has been extremely helpful in helping me navigate the craziness of life the past few months! She’s helped me jump some hurdles with organization and time management as a someone not medicating for ADHD, especially when I hit mental blocks. She’s very knowledgeable and dedicating to creating an implementable plan to assist with the struggles I have, unique to me as an individual. She’s provided me with many helpful resources as well! I highly recommend booking a session with her for life coaching.

Marie has such a fun, open and authentic energy. She held space for me to feel comfortable to really open up. Gave me concrete action steps to implement today & scheduled on my calendar, in stepping towards having more structure in my business. And also asked insightful questions to help get to the root of the untrue belief that's been in my way. She also asked how I can have more fun in my business! Yes please. Thank you Marie, you genuinely care for people and have a gift 🌺
