Helping people with ADHD navigate chaos — whether it’s in their minds, their finances, or the world around them.
Hi, I’m Robert W. Dempsey, and if the world feels like it’s spinning faster than you can catch your breath, you’re in the right place.
I created Pathfinder Chronicles for people like me — those of us living with ADHD in a world that often feels built to overwhelm us. Here, I write about what it means to find focus, resilience, and purpose when everything around us — and sometimes inside us — feels chaotic.
Because the truth is: chaos isn’t going away. But how we move through it can change everything.
Why I Started Pathfinder Chronicles
I’ve spent years exploring human potential — how we grow, adapt, and build meaning even in the most uncertain times.
But I’ve also seen how systems, politics, and economics create chaos that hits people like us the hardest — those with neurodivergent brains who already struggle to stay regulated, organized, and hopeful.
This space grew out of a simple question:
What if instead of trying to escape the chaos, we learned to navigate it — together?
Here, I blend my lived experience with ADHD, my background in data and preparedness, and my deep belief in human transformation.
Whether I’m writing about mental health, political shifts, or practical prepping, it all comes back to one thing: helping people like us find stability, clarity, and power in uncertain times.
What You’ll Find Here
Pathfinder Chronicles explores the intersection of:
ADHD and Self-Mastery — Understanding your brain, finding focus, and turning self-acceptance into momentum.
Preparedness and Resilience — Building systems (mental and physical) that help you thrive when life gets unpredictable.
Politics and Reality — Breaking down complex events so you can understand what’s happening without drowning in it.
You won’t find fearmongering here. You’ll find clarity, compassion, and a sense of direction — a map, not a megaphone.
Who This Is For
If you’ve ever said:
“I know what I need to do, but I can’t seem to do it.”
“The world feels too chaotic — I don’t even know where to start.”
“I care deeply, but I’m exhausted trying to keep up.”
Then you’re a Pathfinder. And this space was made for you.

The Vision
I believe we can build a world where:
We aren’t living paycheck to paycheck.
We can take time off work without fear.
We can raise kids who grow up freer, healthier, and more hopeful than we were.
We can stand up to chaos — together.
That’s what Pathfinder Chronicles is really about: not escaping the storm, but learning how to walk through it with purpose.
So if you’re ready to navigate your own chaos — internal, financial, or global — and come out stronger on the other side…
Let’s find our path — one step at a time.
