What Is Thrive with ADD and Who Is It For?

Updated

Thrive with ADD (thrivewithadd.com) is a resource and coaching site for adults with ADD/ADHD, run by Bonnie Mincu, a Senior Certified ADHD Coach who has worked with ADD/ADHD adults since 2001. It is aimed at adults who want to reduce procrastination, overwhelm, and disorganization and build practical systems for follow-through. It is not a medical clinic or diagnostic service, and the site does not present itself as one.

What the site offers

The site centers on two ways to work with Bonnie Mincu, plus free and low-cost resources:

  • One-to-one ADHD coaching by phone or Zoom, described as customized strategies for individual goals. The site states that coaching clients often see an immediate increase in productivity and earnings.
  • "Productivity Pathfinder" ADHD membership, described as an affordable monthly training and support program that guides members step by step toward habit change and self-mastery.
  • A free "Procrastination Tree" tool, offered to help users identify what is really stopping them when they procrastinate or feel mentally paralyzed.
  • A blog, including posts on ADHD shame and self-talk, such as the "R" Method for transforming shame and self-talk.

Who it is for

The content is written for adults with ADD/ADHD traits, specifically people who recognize themselves in these patterns:

  • Losing hours to procrastination or feeling frozen by overwhelm
  • Difficulty with time management, planning, and prioritizing
  • Trouble breaking down projects, keeping a calendar, or facing a to-do list
  • Shame and negative self-talk that make the above worse

If you are looking for a diagnosis, medication management, or therapy, this site is not that. If you already know you have ADHD traits and want coaching, structure, and habit-building support from someone who has specialized in adult ADD/ADHD since 2001, it fits that need.

How to decide whether to engage

Option Format Best if you want
Free consultation Scheduled call To test fit with the coach before committing
One-to-one coaching Phone or Zoom Individualized strategies and faster, personal feedback
Productivity Pathfinder membership Monthly program Step-by-step training and support at a lower commitment level
Free Procrastination Tree tool Self-guided download To identify your specific procrastination trigger first
Blog Reading Low-commitment exposure to the approach and tone

A practical starting point: read a blog post or two, request the free Procrastination Tree tool, and use the free consultation to ask what a realistic engagement would look like for your situation. The site does not publish pricing for coaching or the membership, so confirm cost, session frequency, and cancellation terms directly before signing up.

What to keep in mind

  • The site's claims about productivity and earnings gains come from the provider's own description of client outcomes, not independent research.
  • Coaching is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment; if shame or impairment is severe, consider combining coaching with a licensed clinician.
  • Testimonials on the site, such as Michelle's note about a "complete mind shift," reflect individual experiences and are not guarantees.
