What does it really feel like to be inside an ADHD teen's mind?

Parent First, ADHD Later

What makes this book extraordinary is its author — Jerome J Wong, a young person with ADHD, writing from the inside out. Refreshing, evidence-based, and deeply honest, it gives parents a rare window into how their teenager truly thinks, feels, and experiences the world. Alongside real Singaporean family stories, it offers practical tools for parents who want to support — not just manage — their child.

What People Say

Moonlake's sessions have been genuinely transformative. She brings both lived experience and practical tools — and she understands, in a way few people do, what it actually feels like to live with ADHD.

Because of your courage in going public, I finally found mine. I got assessed, and it changed everything. You reached me without even knowing it.

Our Story

About Transforming Lives

Transforming Lives is an independent social enterprise focused on capability development and psychoeducation. We support individuals, professionals, schools, workplaces, and organisations through strengths-based learning, practical tools, and relationally grounded support.

What We Do

Bridging Insight and Action

We work primarily in two areas: capability development and psychoeducation.

Transforming Lives sits at the intersection of strategy and empathy, education and practical change, and professional credibility and human connection. Neurodivergence is a core area of expertise, alongside executive function, relationships, and strengths-based capability development.

Our Approach

Strengths-based. Relational.
Grounded in real transformation.

Our approach is not deficit-based. We help people see themselves and others differently — turning insight into practical change, and strengthening relationships in ways that are both human and effective.

How We Work

Two Pillars. One Purpose.

Capability Development

Talks, workshops, coaching, and training that build practical skills and confidence for individuals and organisations.

Psychoeducation

Books, podcasts, curricula, and accessible content that deepen understanding of how people think, learn, relate, and grow.

Our Values

What We Stand For

🌟

Strengths-Based

We lead with what people can do, not what they can't.

🤲

Human-Centred

Every programme, resource, and interaction is designed with people at the core.

💡

Insightful

We translate research and complexity into clear, actionable understanding.

🔗

Relational

Change happens through connection — with self, with others, and with those around us.

Why Transforming Lives

What Makes Us Distinct

Strategy & Empathy

We bring together rigorous frameworks with deep human understanding — insights are not just theoretical, but lived and actionable.

Education & Transformation

We don't just inform — we equip. Our work shifts perspectives, builds capacity, and creates lasting change.

Broad Human Development

Neurodivergence is a core area of expertise, alongside executive function, relationships, and practical capability-building for individuals and organisations.

Transforming Lives is an independent social enterprise. Where it collaborates with charities, schools, employers, or other organisations, such collaborations are separately defined and do not imply organisational affiliation unless expressly stated.

Her Story

Background & Experience

Moonlake Lee is the Founder and CEO of Transforming Lives, an independent social enterprise focused on capability development and psychoeducation through a strengths-based lens. She previously founded Unlocking ADHD, a Singapore IPC charity, and continues to care deeply about strengthening support for the ADHD community.

Diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 50 — one year after her daughter received the same diagnosis — Moonlake brings both lived experience and strategic perspective to her work. Her background spans journalism, law, business, and technology law, and includes legal practice in Canada, entrepreneurship, angel investing, and social impact leadership.

Moonlake was a finalist for The Straits Times Singaporean of the Year 2022 in recognition of her contributions to the ADHD community. She is a member of the workgroup developing clinical practice guidelines for adult ADHD in Singapore and is training as an Executive Function Coach.

She has led and contributed to a range of mission-aligned publications and public education efforts, including Differently Wired Minds, published by Unlocking ADHD, and Parent First, ADHD Later, published by Transforming Lives.

What People Say

Real stories from individuals whose lives have been touched by our work — through media, advocacy, and coaching.

Coaching

Executive Function Coaching Clients

I am one of Moonlake's Executive Function Coaching clients. Moonlake's sessions have been life-transforming. She gives practical, actionable tips and follows up to check if I've put them into practice. Furthermore, she's great at challenging assumptions that I've made about myself and my potential. Thanks to her, I've started and maintained an incredibly invigorating fitness routine! I'm excited to see what unfolds in my life as a result of her coaching.

Coaching client

35-year-old female client with ADHD

Moon was a great coach in the short time that I was able to work with her. She was able to unpack the challenges I was facing, and go below the surface to really understand what I was struggling with. Her openness in sharing her own challenges with ADHD allowed me to connect with her at a more personal level, and to feel at ease throughout the partnership.

Awareness & Advocacy

After Watching Moonlake's CNA Feature

I just got diagnosed with ADHD in Feb this year at Age 38. I saw your CNA video a few years ago. Thanks to your courage of going public with your story, I finally mustered up mine to get assessed this year. It's been quite a ride, but my quality of life has improved tremendously.

Anonymous

Forever grateful to you, Moonlake Lee, for sharing your story on CNA. If not for your interview, I would never have been diagnosed and gotten the help I need to live a more aligned and joyful life.

For Adults with ADHD

You're not lazy or difficult. Your brain works differently — and that changes everything.

Many adults with ADHD spend years developing workarounds, masking their struggles, and wondering why things that seem easy for others feel so hard. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have known for years, coaching can help you build strategies that work with your brain — not against it. We focus on what's practical, what's sustainable, and what actually moves the needle in your everyday life.

What to expect

  • Sessions are conducted via video call or in person (subject to availability)
  • Flexible packages — short-term focused work or longer-term ongoing support
  • Coaching is non-clinical: it complements (but does not replace) medical or psychiatric care
  • Moonlake is an adult with ADHD herself — the coaching comes from genuine understanding

Moonlake's sessions have been genuinely transformative. She brings both lived experience and practical tools — and she understands, in a way few people do, what it actually feels like to live with ADHD.
