About the Author Patty R. Adams has spent nearly four decades helping people navigate some of life's most challenging moments. With a career rooted in education and counseling, she has dedicated her professional life to equipping others with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to move forward - whether they're managing stress and anxiety, working through ADHD, or trying to figure out what to do with their finances after college. Patty knows firsthand that financial success doesn't happen by accident. As the mother of sons who have successfully paid off their student loans and bought their own homes, she has lived the journey she writes about - celebrating the wins, troubleshooting the setbacks, and learning what actually works in the real world. That experience is woven into every page of this book. Her writing spans a range of topics close to her heart, including ADHD strategies, stress and anxiety management, and a financial series designed to help young adults tackle the big milestones: paying for college, escaping debt, and building a life they're proud of. No matter the subject, her approach is always the same - meet people where they are, skip the jargon, and offer practical guidance that makes a real difference.

Patty believes that everyone deserves access to clear, compassionate information, and that the right book at the right moment can genuinely change the direction of someone's life. That belief is the heartbeat behind Cantelune Press, where you'll find her full collection of titles written for readers who are ready to take the next step. When she's not writing, Patty draws on her counseling background to remind anyone who will listen that progress - not perfection - is always the goal.
