Same. As someone well off with inattentive type ADHD, 99$ is money I wouldn't mind throwing away for a shot at getting better with the daily issues I face. And then if it works progressing to something more expensive is also not a problem.
In my case the issue is that despite having a growth mindset for learning pretty much anything, in the case of ADHD stuff I've been trying for so long to fix myself that it feels like I'll never be able to. And that trying out this service and making efforts would be more draining than living with the symptoms is.
I realise that's not true so I could force myself to do it, it's just what I feel.
Going to go talk with an ADHD specialized psychologist this month and will see if a service like this can be extra help perhaps.
I definitely feel you, and that's the biggest "con" (in context of pros/cons) of coaching. It definitely takes significant sustained efforts, which is why medication and other methods are often the first line of defense.
We're trying to make it less effort and easier, but at the end of the day we know sustained behavioral change will take effort. Along that vein, it also may not always be the best time, and may not be best fit for everyone. We totally acknowledge that and hope to just be one piece of the greater ADHD-care pie!
Good luck with your ADHD specialized psychologist!!

Oh man this hits too close
Half a century brother. It doesn't get any better but life is still worth living. You can reach your potential with accommodations.
