Let's Talk :: LIVING WITH ADHD AS A MOM

S2 EPISODE 006 :: Have you ever sat in front of your computer surfing the net, with over fifty open tabs staring at you, and you don’t even know where to begin because they’re all of equal importance?  You’re overwhelmed... so instead of doing something about it, you contemplate opening up a new tab, ultimately shutting the computer down altogether, and move on to the next thing?

Welcome - to my brain.

What I like to call my "colourful brain" - I. Have. ADHD.

I will be sharing with you, life with ADHD as a mom, looking back at my school years where I performed the Oscar-winning rendition of "having it all together", masking struggles of the everyday. From merely getting by in school (though shockingly excelling at it on paper), to challenges with time management, to sleep deprivation, excessive ruminating, right into my young adult years of constant overwhelm - yet shockingly thriving in it.

Until I became a Mom of 2.

Parenting in the pandemic of 2020/21/Current Day - my own personal struggles revealed itself in all its glory where home represented my brain in the very literal sense, and my challenges were no longer mine to experience. It was affecting everyone around me, especially my children.

In this episode, I will also share some of the interesting, more 'colourful' aspects of having ADHD, balanced out with the more paralyzing features that have made life very difficult, notably as a mom. I will share some strategies that have worked for me, as well as those that crashed and burned.
