Motherhood in ADHD – Parenting with ADHD, Productivity Tips, Brain based Science, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Education to Help Moms with Adult ADHD

De: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD
  • Resumen

  • Productivity, Parenting, and Education for Moms with Adult ADHD Are you overwhelmed by the never-ending to do list of motherhood? Are you burnt out and barely keeping your head above water? Are you confused and frustrated by how all the other moms make it look so easy? And somehow you're still floundering despite trying even harder... Your purse is as overflowing as your mind, you never feel like a good enough mom, and you don't dare have anyone over to visit to witness your messy home. You just want the best for your kids, but you can't figure out how to manage the chaos, both in your mind and in your house. Oh, I've been there, mama. Some days, I'm still there. Parenting with ADHD is hard! We want to be structured for our kids, yet we can't seem to stay consistent even for ourselves. But I'm letting go of everyone else's perception of a "good mom" and stepping into loving who I am a little more each day. Will you join me? Whether you have ADHD like I do, or think you might, here is your permission slip to let go of the pinterest worthy visions of organization and structure fit for everyone else. Let's do life like our brains do life: creatively, lovingly, and with all your might. Moms with ADHD have a superpower of always trying their best, even when it doesn't pan out. How do I know? I have known about my ADD for over twenty years, and I want to share all of this hard-earned ADHD knowledge with you, making your adjustment a lot easier and faster than mine was. What does Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder look like in women? We'll dive into emotional regulation, motivation, executive function, hormones, medication, and natural treatments. Women with ADHD share their diagnosis stories with us, whether inattentive, hyperactive or combined, from childhood through adult diagnoses. We also talk about ADHD's so-called friends like depression, anxiety, addiction, disordered eating, other learning differences, and what I've learned through therapy and CBT. Science is my jam and learning about how our brains work through the lens of scientific research helps us understand who we are. ADHD is not just for little boys; it looks different in girls. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurological medical condition, not an excuse for lazy, stupid, unmotivated people to not live up to our potential. Let's agree to throw that thought in the trash. Once we understand how our brains work, we can dive into the practical strategies like structuring our day, minimalism, money, nurturing our relationships, daily rhythms, using a planner, and improving our sleep. I want to help you build your version of a joyful family life. We talk about everything from ADHD to Zebras, because that is how Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder works: to us, our thoughts are clearly connected, but non-linear to everyone else. I want you to love being a zebra in a world full of horses. We were born as unique, gorgeous creatures, not meant to blend in with the usual nor mundane. When we embrace who we are and how our brains work, we can figure out how to live out lives successfully and in turn, lead our families well. At the end of the day, we just want to be good moms. Spoiler alert: you are already a great mom. If you're ready to see that with your own two eyes, hit play and listen in as we love ourselves a little more each day of our ADHD lives. ADHD does NOT mean you're doomed to be a hot mess, mama! You CAN rewrite your story from shame spiral to success story, and I'll be right here beside you to cheer you on!

  • E259: Juggling Big Goals and Parenting with ADHD: Book Update #2
    Mar 6 2025

    Ditch the quest for Pinterest perfection and actually get stuff done.

    In this episode, I’m getting real about how my book proposal is going amidst juggling the whirlwind of parenting and work projects. The highs and lows of writing are kicking in already. Do I need to write multiple books because there's just too much to say? Slow your roll, Patricia! One step at a time! I still have to balance work and family life, which is no easy feat, especially while ADHD and parenting are being greatly affected in America’s current situation.

    I don’t have a lot of answers today, but I have honest stories to share about what makes this goal difficult, yet worthwhile. Come along while I attempt to figure out how to make big dreams and goals a reality while keeping my sanity. I hope it gives you a boost of motivation to tackle a few items on your own chaotic to-do list while prioritizing your mental health.

    We can do this!

  • E258: Reset After a Meltdown or Total Shutdown
    Feb 20 2025

    When you’re hiding in the bathroom in a puddle of tears on the floor, what do you do next?

    When you’ve yelled at your family and said things you regret during a grownup temper tantrum and wish you could hide under a rock forever, what do you do next?

    When the shame and guilt and overwhelm feel like too much to bear, what do you do now?

    It’s so common for those of us with ADHD to get overwhelmed and shutdown or say things we regret.

    Here’s a clip from Successful Mama Meetups during our month themed "Your Reset Button (How to reset after a total shutdown or meltdown)” because the mamas requested this topic. You’re not alone in this.

    I’m sharing supportive strategies for dealing with stress and moving forward when it feels hopeless or impossible. Understanding ADHD's impact on your emotional regulation makes a huge difference in how you deal with stress.

    Big hugs. Let’s talk about it.

  • E257: I Love You But I Don't Like You: Supporting ADHD Relationships
    Feb 6 2025

    You chose this person for a reason. You love them.

    Aaaaand relationships are complicated. Sometimes you may not LIKE your partner as much as you love them.

    Adding ADHD in the mix is more than another layer of complexity to your relationship, whether it affects you, your partner, or both.

    As Valentine's Day approaches, here’s a clip from Successful Mama Meetups during our month theme "I love you, but I don't like you". I’m sharing supportive strategies for fostering strong, loving connections. Understanding ADHD's impact on your relationships makes a huge difference in how you interact together and stay together.

    I’m adding a relationship twist on my three foundational principles: learning about ADHD, taking care of yourself, and asking for help. Strong loving relationships are possible for ADHDers, too!

    Let’s discuss!

good information, good heart

I appreciate this podcast so much. right now. struggling with severe ADHD on top of severe depression. cripples a person so much most of the time. I appreciate her encouragement, easy steps, recommendations, information, etc.
I've read a few reviews and saw some negative thoughts but I am ready to deal with this and I want to get better so bad! I don't want my child to struggle like me if he ends up having it. but even if he doesn't I want to feel capable and be able to function in the way my family needs! No one tells you about ADHD and how hard it is. I had been searching for something that had to do with being a mom that has ADHD and this is one of the few resources out there. my husband has even enjoyed your podcasts. thank you for your heart. Keep up the good work! You are God's instrument teaching and helping others learn and grow in the chaos and hardship every day brings!

Finally!!!

Thank You!! Thank You!!! Your podcast is absolutely amazing and you have addressed many aspects of my adhd and being a mom. It is eye opening realizing that I am not crazy and it helps me be the best example for my girls who also struggle with adhd. Realizing that my adhd is not a curse or makes me damaged, it's a gift and a super power when used properly. Changing my thoughts on social norms and fitting a mold has absolutely changed my life!! Keep up the good work!! You are changing lives!!

the way it relates to me is amazing

I'm 26 and was recently diagnosed with adhd and bipolar disorder type 1. I am trying to break the abusive cycle my mother continued and this podcast gave me so many tools to help me end the cycle for good. gentle parenting for the win.

preachy

I did not appreciate her tone. If her audience was kids it would be fine. I am a 42year old mom and need quality info, not a soap box preacher
