Hi, I’m Rae — educator, curriculum nerd, and Chief Elevation Officer of High Schooled.
I hold master’s degrees in Mathematics Education and Medical Cannabis Science & Therapeutics, and I’ve spent more than 20 years helping people learn complicated things in ways that actually make sense to their brains.
For many years I taught at the university level, working with adult learners, and I’ve contributed to textbooks, curriculum design, and teacher education along the way.
Over time, I became fascinated by how real brains learn — especially ADHD brains — and why so many smart, motivated people struggle with starting and staying focused.
If you’ve ever had a great idea, real motivation, and still found yourself stuck at the starting line… you’re not alone.
As someone with an ADHD brain myself, I’ve spent years experimenting with ways to make focus more accessible and sustainable.
What I discovered is that focus isn’t really about discipline.
It’s about rituals, environment, nervous system regulation, and tools that work with your brain instead of against it.
Now I bring all of that together through science-backed cannabis education, ADHD-friendly learning, and creative practices like journaling and reflection.
That’s what led me to create the Starting Spell and the Focus Spell framework — simple, repeatable rituals designed to help ADHD brains actually begin, build momentum, and sustain focus without burning out.
Because honestly?
If learning how your brain works isn’t interesting, we’re doing it wrong.
If starting feels harder than it should, the best place to begin is the free mini-course: The Starting Spell.
