Are you a mom navigating life with ADHD - diagnosed or undiagnosed? In this honest conversation, therapist and late-diagnosed mom Samantha Skvaril joins Emily to explore the emotional rollercoaster of ADHD in motherhood. From unpacking the shame we carry, to redefining what it means to be a “good mom,” we dig deep into how ADHD uniquely affects women and mothers.

The episode covers:

  • How ADHD presents in women and the unique factors for moms 
  • Shame, school struggles, and late-diagnosis identity shifts
  • The mental load of parenting with a neurodivergent brain
  • Why many moms miss the signs of ADHD in themselves
  • Tools for managing executive dysfunction and sensory overwhelm

If you've ever felt like you're failing at motherhood, especially under the crushing weight of mental load, this is a must-listen.
