Coach Christine J. Gold uses Rosebud, a journaling app that accepts voice or typed entries and asks follow-up questions, to process emotions after an ADHD diagnosis. The app tracks moods, reveals patterns in weekly reports, and helps her set intentions instead of carrying feelings around.

If you're an empath or you process the world a little differently, this is the journaling app I wish I had 20 years ago. It's called Rosebud, and I use it every single day. I recommend it to almost every client I coach because it does something traditional journaling never could for me. I mean, I do love pen to paper still. However, as someone with late ADHD diagnosis, sitting down to a blank page used to feel impossible. Rosebud meets me exactly where I am. I can speak my thoughts out loud or type them, and it reflects my own wisdom back to me with clarity that honestly stops me in my tracks. It asks the kind of questions a really good coach would ask. It remembers what I shared last week. It tracks my moods and my patterns over time, and every week it sends me a report— wow— showing me what I could not see in the moment. It helps me to set intentions, build habits, and actually process emotion instead of carrying it around. And here's what I love most: the Rosebud team reached out to me and we sat down together to go over improvements and the new features that are coming. I am genuinely helping shape where this tool is going, and that tells you everything about the heart behind this. If you want to try it, I have a code for 25% off. Comment the word "rosebud" below and I will send it straight to you.
